Devon Storage_sm CANTON, Mich., Aug. 12, 2016 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of Devon Self Storage, a 113,851-net-rentable-square-foot storage facility located in Canton, Michigan.

The Marcus & Millichap team also procured the buyer, Public Storage.

“It was a great opportunity for one of the major REITs to buy a Class ‘A’ facility in one of the fastest-growing communities in Michigan.
