Gantry has secured $18 million to refinance two self storage facilities in Southern California. The 10-year life company loan has a fixed rate, with a 30-year amortization period. The properties—which comprise a total of 1,634 units—are in Simi Valley and San Diego, both under the Ace Self Storage brand.
According to Yardi Matrix data, the Simi Valley facility became subject to a $9 million loan from State Farm, with a maturity date set for 2033. The mortgage refinanced a pending maturity for the fully stabilized asset.
The single, cross-collateralized financing retired previous construction debt for the San Diego property, which became subject to a $10.3 million construction loan in 2018, originated by Wells Fargo Bank, Yardi Matrix shows.
Principal Peter Welsh and Senior Director Bahman Mirhashemi with Gantry’s Los Angeles and Irvine, Calif., offices, worked on behalf of the borrower, a private owner.
At the beginning of this year, Gantry secured another two other loans totaling $25.4 million for two self storage facilities in the Bay Area. SKS Management received $12.2 million for SAF Keep in San Jose, Calif., while The Claremont Cos. received $13.2 million for a StoreLocal facility in Hercules, Calif.
