Austin Self-storage Acquisition Financed

JLL Capital Markets has arranged financing for the acquisition of a newly constructed 1,152-unit, CubeSmart-branded self-storage facility in Austin. JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, South California-based Greens Global, to place the five-year, fixed-rate loan with Happy State Bank. Greens Global purchased the asset from CSW Development in an off-market transaction initiated by the borrower. Completed in September 2019, the 110,505-square-foot building houses all climate-controlled units along with retail and office space for operations. The five-story property is outfitted with modern security features. Located at 8023 W. Parmer Lane in the northern part of Austin, the facility is surrounded by a growing population of nearly 90,000 residents within a three-mile radius. Additionally, the property is immediately adjacent to hundreds of multi-housing units and single-family homes. The JLL Capital Markets Debt Placement team representing the borrower was led by senior director C.W. Sheehan and analyst Alastair Barnes “The acquisition of the CubeSmart on Parmer Lane is a great first asset in Austin for Greens Global and is an expansion of their self-storage portfolio from California,” Sheehan said. “The asset is located on a heavily trafficked corridor with great visibility and just a stone’s throw from the new tech campus and across from Robinson Ranch.”

Residents will also have access to attached or detached garage spaces. Complete with a luxurious clubhouse overlooking a resort-style pool and courtyard, community kitchen spaces, a social bar, firepits and entertainment seating, the amenities space is designed to provide a welcoming, social atmosphere for residents and guests. Other community amenities also include independent study rooms, a fitness space attached to a yoga yard complimented by flex space for individualized fitness classes, green walking paths and access to a pet-washing facility and dog park. Strategically located just east of Interstate Highway 35 and just south of Texas Highway 45, residents will have immediate access to the main thoroughfare to Round Rock and Austin as well as the surrounding retail areas and major employment hubs. “Travis County has seen explosive growth over the years, and we are always looking for opportunities within high-growth areas,” said John Hutchinson, president, central and southwestern U.S., Trez Capital. “We know residents will be attracted to the essential accessibility to the Austin area coupled with the quality product that Thompson Realty Capital delivers on all of its projects.
