Refinancing secured for Fort Myers Storage King USA Property
JLL Capital Markets facilitates financing for Andover Properties’ self-storage facility
DALLAS, Aug. 15, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged refinancing for Storage King USA – Fort Myers Highway 80, a 633-unit self-storage facility in Fort Myers, Florida.
Working on behalf of Andover Properties, JLL secured a five-year loan from Choice Bank. The proceeds will refinance the existing loan and fund Phase II development, adding 89,721 square feet of additional storage space.
Located at 11351 Palm Beach Blvd., Storage King USA benefits from high visibility with over 30,000 vehicles passing daily. Fort Myers is experiencing rapid population growth yet remains underserved in the self-storage sector. The facility is also near Babcock Ranch, a major development projected to add approximately 20,000 new homes and 50,000 residents.
Originally built in 2004 and first expanded in 2019, Storage King USA – Fort Myers Highway 80 offers area customers 55,353 square feet of rentable space in a mix of climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled units. The 13.36-acre site has gated access and recorded video surveillance and offers space for boat and RV storage.
The JLL Capital Markets Self-Storage team was led by Directors John Bauman and John Williamson who were supported by Lee Weaver and Alex Riva from JLL’s Central Florida team.
“The property is exceptionally positioned to capitalize on the growing influx of residents with growing storage needs to the Ft. Myers area given there is virtually no competition within its trade area and no planned developments underway,” Williamson said.
