Behringer Harvard Acquires
Self-Storage Facility in San Antonio
DALLAS, September 2, 2011 Behringer Harvard announced today its acquisition of a 537-unit self-storage facility at 6366 Babcock Road in San Antonio. The 3.2-acre site is north of Loop 410 and approximately five miles south of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. acquired an 85 percent ownership interest in the property through a joint venture with Watson & Taylor Management, Inc., an operator of more than 34 self-storage facilities in Texas, Massachusetts and Tennessee, and with an investment group represented by Kennedy Wilson Austin, Inc.
Now operating as Noahs Ark Self Storage, the Babcock Road facility comprises 10 one-story storage buildings, constructed in 2000, providing a total of 56,275 rentable square feet. As a result of the joint ventures acquisition, the property will be rebranded as a Watson & Taylor facility. Kennedy Wilson Austin will provide the venture with partnership asset management and back-office support services. The acquisition is the first in a self-storage acquisition program planned by the joint venture partners.
Were pleased to pursue this venture with Watson & Taylor Management, a respected industry leader in the self-storage property sector, said Mr. Samuel A. Gillespie, Chief Operating Officer of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. The Babcock Road facility represents the type of self-storage acquisition opportunities we plan to target as we build a portfolio through future joint ventures with Watson & Taylor and Kennedy Wilson Austin.
With a population of 1.3 million, San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and the seventh-largest city in the United States, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. San Antonios diversified economy focuses on financial services, government, health care and tourism. South Texas Medical Center, a vibrant complex of hospitals, clinics and 45 medical-related institutions that employ 27,000 professionals, is approximately five miles south of 6366 Babcock Road. Self-storage facilities have traditionally experienced strong demand from the students and medical professionals who are attracted to the area.
