BARKER PACIFIC GROUP AND ARTEMIS REAL ESTATE PARTNERS ACQUIRE

GLOBAL SELF STORAGE ASSET TO BUILD ON STORAGE SOLUTIONS BRAND

NORCO, CA – January 18, 2013 – Barker Pacific Group (BPG) and Artemis Real Estate Partners Fund I (Artemis) have acquired Global Self Storage via a joint venture, and will re-launch the facility under its Storage Solutions brand.  The 113,429 square foot, seven building complex sits on 4.12 acres and features 908 storage units along with surface parking for boat and RV storage. The facility is located at 240 Hidden Valley Parkway in Norco CA, in Western Riverside county off of Highway I-15. Approximately 68 percent of the complex is occupied.

"We are excited to add another property to our Storage Solutions portfolio,” said Jae Ho, COO of Storage Solutions.  "We were attracted to the property’s location, high quality construction and amenities for tenants, and the current property management team that will augment the company.”

This is the second property acquired as part of Storage Solutions’ strategy. The joint venture purchased the property out of receivership in December 2012.  The joint venture previously acquired the King Road Self-Storage facility in San Jose in April of 2012 to re-launch the Storage Solutions brand. Storage Solutions is rebuilding its assets portfolio to offer consumers and businesses a variety of self-storage space and supplies at convenient locations throughout California.

 

"With each expansion we are working to ensure an easy transition for existing tenants,” said Ho. "As we integrate our system and approach, we’ll be able to provide existing and new customers the benefits of Storage Solutions.”
