Rosewood Property Co. (RPC), a Dallas-based real estate firm that owns self-storage facilities, has acquired StorAmerica Storage & Wine Cellar in Carmel, Ind. The property will be managed by self-storage real estate investment trust Extra Space Storage Inc. and branded under its name, according to a press release.
The facility at 4420 E. 146th St. comprises 89,841 rentable square feet of storage space in 846 units, of which 63 percent are climate-controlled. It features a temperature-controlled wine cellar as well as a conference center.
"This facility adds an important project to our expanding presence in the self-storage sector,” said Bill Flaherty, president. “The facility, which was recently expanded, was locally owned and managed, is well-located and is performing well. We continue to focus on additional acquisitions in multiple markets that would be a strategic fit within our portfolio.”

The seller was represented in the transaction by Matthew E. Duda, vice president of MJ Partners Real Estate Services. RPC was represented internally.
