Compass Self Storage, a member of the Amsdell family of companies, has acquired a three-property portfolio in the greater Raleigh, N.C., area. Combined, the facilities comprise more than 265,000 net rentable square feet of storage space.

- 1301 Parkway Drive, Goldsboro, N.C.

Each site offers truck rentals as well as a retail center that sells moving and packing supplies. Compass plans to make physical improvements to each site, including upgrading the security systems, according to a press release.
"We are proud to bring Compass Self Storage to the Raleigh, N.C., market and offer our customers additional peace of mind and convenience with our upgraded services. We look forward to being the one-stop-shop for the moving and storage needs in this market," said Todd Amsdell, president.
Compass now operates 14 storage facilities in the state. Company growth is projected to continue with the acquisition and development of self-storage properties in select markets, the release stated.
