West Coast Self-Storage Group (WCSSG), which operates 51 facilities in California, Oregon and Washington, has purchased Island Security Self Storage in Vashon, Wash., for $9 million. The 3.94-acre property at 10015 S.W. 178th St. was purchased under WCSS Vashon Island 516 LLC, according to the source. The seller was George Hill of Point Robinson Properties LLC.
Built in two phases in 2004 and 2007, the facility contains nine single-story buildings, plus a two-story office and manager residence. It offers nearly 500 interior and drive-up units, some of which are climate-controlled and have radiant floor heating. It also includes vehicle-parking spaces, and a retail office that sells moving and packing supplies.
WCSSG will add U-Haul truck rentals to the facility’s offerings, the source reported.
“Island Security Self Storage is a great storage facility with the best amenities on the island. We’re excited to add to its products and services with our knowledge of the storage industry to best serve the Vashon community,” said WCSSG District Manager Tom Davies.
