Compass Self Storage, a member of the Amsdell family of companies, has purchased a self-storage facility in Fate, Texas, its second in the market. The property at 159 Riding Club Road will be rebranded under the Compass name. The purchase was made by separate affiliates of Amsdell Group LLC and Compass Self Storage LLC.
The facility comprises 123,000 net rentable square feet of storage space.
