Real estate developer Mequity Cos. has purchased a warehouse in Tucker, Ga., for $5.3 million that it intends to convert to a climate-controlled self-storage facility. The site will be managed by real estate investment trust CubeSmart and branded under its name. It’s expected to be complete by the end of the year, according to the source.

The 105,800-square-foot warehouse at 2232 Mountain Industrial Blvd. is in the Stone Mountain Industrial Park, a 4.1-million-square-foot, master-planned business park comprising 69 buildings. The seller, Ackerman & Co., acquired the property in 2015, the source reported.

The seller was represented in the transaction by Brett Buckner, senior vice president, Major Martin, associate, and Jimmy Stevens, senior vice president of brokerage, for Ackerman.

Its primary markets include the Atlanta, Miami, New York and Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas as well as Northern New Jersey. Its principals are Bill Marsh and Robert Holly.
