Storage Etc. Buys 3-Property American Mini Storage Portfolio in CA for $16.4M
July 25, 2014
Storage Etc., which operates more than 20 self-storage facilities in California, Colorado and Utah, recently purchased a three-property portfolio from AMS Group LLC for $16.4 million. The American Mini Storage facilities in Diamond Bar and Rosemead, Calif., plus the AMS Mini Storage facility in North Pomona, Calif., consist of 155,005 rentable square feet of storage space, 1,424 units and 72 RV-parking spaces. The properties will be rebranded as Storage Etc.
The family-owned and -operated portfolio was approximately 80 percent occupied at the time of sale, according to Marc Boorstein, principal with MJ Partners Real Estate Services, which brokered the deal. “The single-story facilities allow for value-added improvements within densely populated, infill trade areas,” said Boorstein, who represented both buyer and seller in the transaction in conjunction with Fred Cordova of real estate firm Kennedy Wilson.
Based in Covina, Calif., AMS Group also operates Archive Management Solutions, which offers records storage in Covina, and has its own construction division.

The company has built or acquired more than $100 million in self-storage assets for investors, owners and its own portfolio.
