JLL Brokers Sale of 934-Unit Self-Storage Facility in Alexandria

JLL has arranged the sale of Oakville Self Storage, a 934-unit self-storage facility in Alexandria, VA. The facility is located in the Oakville Triangle master-planned redevelopment at 405 Swann Ave.

Oakville Self Storage is a three-story building originally constructed in 1949 and converted to a high-quality self-storage facility in 1989. The facility features a combination of non-climate-controlled interior units and dock-high drive-up units along with elevator access to upper floors. The property will be undergoing significant exterior and interior renovations, designed by BWD Architects, to become a Class A facility. Oakville Triangle is a master-planned, one million-square-foot, mixed-use redevelopment comprising Class A multi-housing, townhomes, retail and healthcare properties.

Brian Somoza, Steve Mellon, Bruce Strasburg and Craig Childs of JLL represented the seller, an institutional investor, in the transaction. Potomac Yard Mini U Storage, LLC, in partnership with Elevation Fund 8, LLC purchased the asset, which is now operating under the Mini U Storage brand.
