Strategic Storage Trust VI Opens New Self-Storage Facility in Ontario, Canada

Strategic Storage Trust VI Inc. – a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT Inc. and distributed by Pacific Oak Capital Markets – in partnership with SmartCentres, has opened a new Class A self-storage facility in the Stoney Creek neighborhood of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada.

Located at 550 Centennial Parkway N with visibility from the Queen Elizabeth Way highway, the facility offers four stories of climate-controlled storage space, encompassing approximately 100,000 net rentable square feet across approximately 970 units. Also, the company said the asset is strategically positioned within a bustling shopping center that serves as a hub for big-box retail.

The first and fourth floors are currently open for business, and construction on the remaining floors is expected to be complete during the fourth quarter of 2024. According to the REIT, the facility is intended to address the increasing demand for self-storage solutions in the surrounding communities, such as Riverdale West, Riverside East, Grayside, Cherry Heights, Vincent, Red Hill, Nashdale, Kentley, and McQuesten West. Additionally, the site presents an opportunity for potential installation of solar panels.

“We are thrilled to be part of the vibrant Stoney Creek area of Hamilton,” said H. Michael Schwartz, president and chief executive officer of Strategic Storage Trust VI. “With its prime location, modern amenities, and easy accessibility, this new facility is designed to help meet the increasing demand for premium storage solutions in the area. We’re confident it will provide significant value and convenience to the community.”

In August 2024, Strategic Storage Trust VI declared its inaugural net asset value of $10.00 per share for Class P, A, T, W, Y, and Z shares.
