Absolute Storage Management Acquires 2 Madison, AL, Self-Storage Facilities

Absolute Storage Management (ASM), a self-storage owner and property-management firm, has purchased two Madison, Ala., facilities in a joint venture with an affiliate of The Natchez Group, a self-storage developer. Balch Road Self Storage at 325 Balch Road and Madison Boulevard Mini Storage at 9091 Madison Blvd. comprise 83,000 square feet of storage space. ASM plans to upgrade the offices and security systems at each facility, according to a company press release.

The acquisition was financed by Simmons Bank and brokered by Trey Kirby, vice president of NAI Nashville, a division of commercial real estate firm NAI Global

“Madison is a thriving market, and these assets are both located on well-traveled roads through town,” said Michael Haugh, president of ASM.

Founded in 2002, ASM manages 88 self-storage facilities, 16 of which are owned and operated in joint ventures with the company. Headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., it has regional offices in Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; Jackson, Miss.; and Nashville, Tenn.
