Inland CommunicationsOak Brook, IL – Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (“Inland Investments”), an industry leading real estate investment manager, and Devon Self Storage (“Devon”), one of the largest privately owned national self-storage developers, owners, and managers and a member of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., announced they have completed construction of an approximate 85,330-square-foot Class-A self-storage facility located in Fraser, Michigan.
Located at 31475 Utica Road in Fraser, approximately 15 miles northeast of downtown Detroit, the property formerly served as a light industrial facility originally built in 1975. The property now consists of a two-story climate-controlled building, along with various exterior non-climate-controlled buildings, offering a total of approximately 750 storage units, a 24-hour security system and a drive-in area providing access to the main interior storage area. Climate-controlled units are positioned in the building’s interior and non-climate-controlled units are strategically placed around the building’s exterior and within the property’s excess parking areas providing easy access for loading and unloading.
“Surrounded by similar industrial properties and businesses, this self-storage redevelopment is a beneficial addition and reflection of Fraser’s role as a hub for manufacturing and light industrial operations,” said Greg Mackay, chief operating officer of Devon. “The property’s location benefits from proximity to the local Fraser Department of Public Safety, the Selfridge Air National Guard Base as well as surrounding community amenities, shops, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods.”
The Fraser redevelopment marks the 20th Inland Investments-Devon project delivered on behalf of investors in private offerings comprised of self-storage assets in diverse markets throughout the nation.
"The demand for self storage in Fraser is steady, spanning personal, business, and vehicle storage in need of climate-controlled options due to Michigan's variable weather conditions," said Nati Kiferbaum, chief strategy officer of Inland Investments. “We look forward to serving the Fraser community and continue our collaboration with Devon to bring top-tier self-storage properties to market.”
Inland Investments’ and Devon’s current self-storage portfolio, in the aggregate, spans more than $2 billion in assets under management, underscoring each company’s leadership and commitment to the sector.
