HOUSTON, TX | The LeClaire Group of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of Safe Harbor Boat & RV Storage, a two-property portfolio with 260,927 square feet of storage located in Cypress and Tomball, Texas.
Dave Knobler, First Vice President Investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Houston, Texas office and Charles “Chico” LeClaire, Executive Managing Director Investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Denver, Colorado office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a local LLC. “Clearly the market is much deeper for traditional self-storage facilities, but this transaction is really interesting because we see Morningstar Storage, a large national private equity firm, making another significant investment in the Boat/RV space,” said Knobler. “Not that the demand or interest for self-storage assets is waning whatsoever, but I think this sends a signal that more substantial capital is continuing to flow into the Boat/RV storage sector.”
