Both Fairhope facilities will be third-party managed by StoreEase out of Birmingham, AL. StoreEase provides a revolutionary solution to many of the problems in the self storage industry. The property will be Virtually Managed using their proprietary virtual management technology which allows customers to interact with a live manager via a Kiosk which provides a superior customer experience even though the facility is unmanned. The new facility will utilize StoreEase’s new Virtual Drive-Up kiosk for management. All doors and locks will be controlled by the Noké One smart access control using Bluetooth technology providing superior security and convenience

Stoic was able to close on the acquisition within 55 days of contract and utilized CMBS debt to finance the purchase. Richard Alexander of Grandbridge Real Estate Capital placed the debt for the transaction. “We committed to the seller to close before year-end, and we would not be able to make that happen without the full cooperation of our lender, Sabal Capital Partners,” said Jeremy Friedman, principal of Stoic Equity Partners. “They were able to close a complicated transaction in our agreed upon timeframe.”
