INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

​

Altoona AAA Storage is a well maintained, add-value opportunity, located in a growing marketplace with strong occupancy levels. The site benefits from its location along busy 34th Ave SW -- visible to over 11,700 cars per day.

​

Situated on a 2.45 acre parcel, Altoona AAA Storage offers construction and amenities typical of a B-Class operation. Improvements include a prominent stand-alone rental office with strong visibility from 34th Ave SW, and a 32,892 gross square foot metal self storage building (28,550 net rentable) that houses 250 units (95 drive- up and 155 climate controlled). Units range in size from 25 - 400 square feet, with an average unit size of 114 square feet. Amenities are comprised of a large monument sign, gated entry with keypad access, two ingress/egress points, concrete paved drive aisles, standing seam metal roof, perimeter fencing and security monitoring.

​

The operation is located in a densely populated market and with high occupancy levels, surrounded by new housing starts and retail development. The five-mile population is 77,984 people (and growing). These statistics have allowed the current owner to enjoy historic occupancy levels north of 80 percent, with a limited day-to-day presence.

​

Altoona AAA Storage enjoys an occupancy level of 84 percent (unit occupancy). With rents discounted below market average levels, by as much as10 percent on smaller unit sizes and 20 percent on the large units. A new owner will benefit from implementing a revenue management program and offering tenant insurance, which should push the Income close to $380,000 over the next five years.
