Sovran Self Storage, Inc. Enters Chicago, IL Market; Expands in Southeast Florida

Sovran Self Storage, Inc., announced today the acquisition of two self storage facilities in Chicago, IL and in a separate transaction, one in Miami, FL. The combined purchase price of all three properties was $36.1 million and was funded through advances on the Company’s line of credit and operating cash flow.

The Class “A” properties total 246,000 square feet and feature state-of-the art amenities and design. Located in affluent, high density markets on major thoroughfares, the self storage facilities are well aligned with the Company’s disciplined growth strategy.

“We are extremely pleased with the acquisition of these high quality assets into our portfolio. The Miami store is a great addition to our southeast Florida presence, and the Chicago market is one we’ve been looking to establish a foothold in for some time,” said David Rogers, Chief Executive Officer.

Each of the storage facilities will be rebranded under the Uncle Bob’s Self Storage(R) name and fully integrated into the Company’s operating platforms.
