(NASHVILLE, TENN.) – Hines, the global real estate firm, today announced that Hines Global Income Trust (“HGIT”) has acquired a self-storage portfolio consisting of five Class A, climate controlled, self-storage properties in greater Nashville, Tennessee.
The portfolio consists of more than 3,200 storage units and 341,000 square feet across four different locations in greater Nashville. These locations include one in urban Nashville, one in Franklin, one in Hendersonville and two in the Murfreesboro area.
“This self-storage portfolio adds product diversification to HGIT in a key institutional market that has attractive existing and projected demographics,” said Omar Thowfeek, managing director, investments of Hines Global Income Trust. “Adding additional properties to expand the portfolio is a priority for HGIT to create scale within the self-storage sector.”
“Nashville’s self-storage market is poised for success given the high demand growth and low relative supply pipeline,” said David Lawrence, managing director at Hines. “These properties are market-leading assets in thriving locations, and they are very well positioned to serve customers in these communities over the long-run. With this acquisition, we look forward to continuing to grow Hines’ presence in the greater Nashville market and in the self-storage sector in the years to come.”
HGIT is diversified by geography and real estate sectors, with a focus on stable assets with strong long-term income potential. This acquisition joins a portfolio that is nearly two-thirds weighted toward the industrial and living sectors and is valued at $3.1 billion.
