Harrison Street Acquires 2-Facility Mallory Station Self-Storage Portfolio in Nashville Market

Investment-management firm Harrison Street Real Estate Capital LLC (HSRE), which has extensive interests in “needs-based” real estate, including self-storage, has acquired a two-property portfolio in the Nashville market from Mallory Station Self Storage for nearly $38 million. Together, the facilities comprise more than 147,500 rentable square feet. Both are expected to be renamed as US Storage Centers, the operating brand of Westport Properties Inc., according to a press release from Colliers International, the real estate firm that helped broker the deal.

The property at 7102 Bakers Bridge Ave. in Cool Springs, Tenn., comprises 71,338 square feet. It sold for nearly $21.5 million. The facility at 6346 Nolensville Pike in Nolensville, Tenn., comprises 76,168 square feet. It sold for about $16.5 million. The purchase prices “easily eclipsed the previous known price per square foot paid for self-storage in Tennessee by more than 120 percent,” the release stated.

“This transaction is reflective of the evolution that has occurred in recent years propelling self-storage facilities from a relatively undesirable asset class into one of the most sought after commercial real estate investments,” said Ashley Compton, national director for the Colliers Self Storage Group, who represented the seller in the transaction and procured the buyer. “The sale of the Mallory Station properties establishes a new high-water mark for institutional-quality self-storage in the Southeast.”
