An unidentified firm tied with an entity of NYC Self Storage Convent LLC has purchased a facility in West Harlem, N.Y., for $48 million. The property was previously managed by Extra Space Storage Inc., a publicly traded self-storage real estate investment trust and third-party management firm. The seller was LSC Development LLC, an affiliate of California-based self-storage operator LifeStorage LP.
