HOUSTON, TX | The LeClaire-Schlosser 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 Karam Self Storage, a 47,080 square foot storage facility located in Galveston, Texas.
Dave Knobler, Senior 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 Texas-based LLC. “Being close to The Historic Strand, downtown, and the cruise terminals in a transforming area of Galveston made this interesting real estate to begin with,” said Knobler. “It also was one of the more imaginative conversions that I’ve come across since it was formerly a brewery (Falstaff Beer) that was built in the early 1900s.”
