Spartan Investment Group closed on a trio of premium, well-occupied self-storage facilities in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) — two facilities in Portland, Oregon, and one in Vancouver, Washington. The privately held real estate investment firm paid $44 million for the three assets, adding 224,199 rentable square feet to its growing portfolio.
“Located in prime areas of Portland and Vancouver, these properties are positioned to capitalize on strong demographic trends and effective management practices, providing investors with built-in equity. By retaining Extra Space Storage as our third-party manager, we ensure continuity of excellence in service and management,” said Ryan Gibson, Spartan’s CIO and co-founder.
The portfolio comprises three Class A facilities, including:
- A 1,019-unit facility with 88,386 net rentable square feet in Portland (below)
- A 689-unit facility with 61,550 net rentable square feet in Portland
- A 702-unit facility with 74,263 net rentable square feet in Vancouver
All built within the last seven years, assets in the portfolio include features such as ground-level drive-up units, interior heated units with first-floor and elevator access, interior non-climate-controlled units, and parking spaces. Spartan has been steadily expanding its presence in the region, with a portfolio that includes facilities in Sandy, Oregon, and Black Diamond, Washington — both constructed and operated by Spartan’s in-house teams. In addition, Spartan has plans to develop two additional sites in Northern Washington. The introduction of the PNW portfolio is set to elevate Spartan’s market value in the region to over $100 million.
