A joint venture between Clark Investment Group (CIG) and Post Management Self-Storage recently converted an industrial warehouse in North Bergen, N.J., into a GoodFriend Self-Storage facility. The two-story building at 4301 Tonnelle Ave. comprises 89,800 square feet of climate-controlled space, according to a press release issued by Talonvest Capital Inc., the boutique real estate adviser that brokered the financing.
CIG and Post Management have partnered on multiple self-storage investments in the New York City metropolitan area, the release stated. The North Bergen facility is the first GoodFriend location in New Jersey. The property features high ceilings, interior loading areas, loading dock platforms and video cameras.
