“We’ve had a lot of success with third-party management in Texas, and we’re excited to be acquiring our first of, hopefully, many properties in what we see as a competitive, major U.S. market,” said Charles Byerly, CEO and president of USSC.

The facility at 800 Fulgham Road consists of seven buildings on 4.8 acres of land. It encompasses 90,600 net rentable square feet of storage space in 185 units, of which approximately 45 percent are dedicated to office-warehouse tenancy, according to a press release from Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services Inc., the real estate firm that brokered the transaction.

Built in 2002, the property features a manager’s office, brick façade, standing-seam metal roofs and steel framing. Security features include gated access, lighting, wrought-iron perimeter fencing and video cameras.
