Marcus & Millichap Arranges Sale of 54,100-Square-Foot Hughes Springs Storage Facility
HUGHES SPRINGS, Texas, Nov. 05, 2024 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, announced today the sale of Hughes Springs Storage Units, a 54,100-square-foot self-storage facility located in Hughes Springs, Texas.
“This transaction was a good example of why it is typically in a seller’s best interest to formally list their property for sale rather than pursue an off-market transaction,” says agent, title. “While our relationship with the seller began several years ago, we did not seriously discuss a potential sale until the beginning of 2024. At the time, he was hesitant to allow us to list the property for sale, so he asked us to reach out to a select few prospective buyers instead. Given our vast knowledge of the East Texas storage markets and the buyers that pursue them, we were able to find a group willing to offer the seller’s desired price. Unfortunately, the buyer exited the deal during the escrow period, and we were back to square one. The seller then opted to heed our advice and formally market the property, and we were able to secure multiple list price offers during a brief three week marketing period. Through this process, we ultimately achieved a higher purchase price for the seller, and we were able to leverage the multiple backup offers to keep the buyer on track during the escrow period.”
Brandon Karr and Danny Cunningham, investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Worth office and co-leaders of the Karr-Cunningham Storage Team, exclusively represented the seller, a Hughes Springs native who developed the property, and procured the buyer, a Dallas-based real estate investment company.
Hughes Springs Storage Units is positioned at 189 FM 250. The facility, built in 2019, spans approximately 54,100 rentable square feet across 260 units, including 240 drive-up units and 20 fully enclosed boat/RV spaces. The property features perimeter fencing, a gated entrance with key-pad access, and convenient access to local thoroughfares. The property has maintained a high occupancy rate of 94%.
