Dave Knobler, First Vice President Investments of Marcus & Millichap’s Houston office, Brandon Karr, Senior Vice President Investments, and Danny Cunningham, Senior Associate, of Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Worth office, collaborated to bring the exclusive listing to market on behalf of the seller, a private investor. The buyer, a Dallas-Fort Worth based storage owner/operator with more than 10 facilities, was also secured and represented by Mr. Karr, Mr. Knobler and Mr. Cunningham. “The Tyler storage portfolio represented the perfect opportunity for the buyer to expand their footprint into the secondary markets east of DFW where yields are more attractive for self-storage investments” said Cunningham. The opportunity also provides the new owner with approximately 6.5 acres of potential expansion land, and rental rates that are roughly 25 percent below market. Knobler added “we received 5 offers in approximately 21 days, (3 from DFW area investors and 2 from Houston based investors) validating Danny’s point about investors looking outside of the major metropolitan areas to find more attractive yields”.
