Progress Capital Arranges Construction Financing for Self-Storage Facility in Boonton, NJ
Kathy Anderson and Caillin Boles of Progress Capital secured a $14,000,000 construction/permanent loan for a 100,000+ SQFT industrial property undergoing a renovation into a Class A self-storage facility located in Boonton, NJ.
New Jersey has certainly seen a surge in self-storage facilities, mainly resulting from the pandemic and the urgency to store furnishings during a temporary move out of the city or for organizing their living space to work remotely. Most of the facilities are conversions and in-fill projects, positioned in the mix of both urban cities and well-off suburban towns. The opportunity is generating big gains for investors determined to capitalize on the demand.
Less than six months ago, the sponsor purchased the vacant property with a vision to convert the underutilized warehouse and manufacturing building into a climate controlled, Class A self-storage facility. Improvements include new elevators, HVAC system upgrade, rooftop solar panels for overall energy efficiency, while reducing the carbon footprint. An indoor drive through loading area, a secondary loading area at the rear of the building, parking lot usage, secure and climate-controlled units are all key elements included in the new build.
Boonton is a suburban city in northeast New Jersey, known for its wooded areas, spacious streets, excellent community parks and feature historic homes and architecture that give it a small-town charm. The property is ideally located along Route 202, a major thoroughfare and is easily accessible to Interstate 287 and the Boonton train station.
