"As one of the largest national self-storage portfolio transactions of 2024, this transaction was a testament to the strength of the Dallas-Fort Worth market and further validation of the durability and appeal for high-quality storage assets across the U.S.," said Swerdlin. "Special thanks to Robb DeJean and Michael Holder at Hines for their leadership in getting this transaction across the finish line."
