TPG Real Estate Partners teamed up with Value Store It to buy a self-storage facility in Weston for $18.5 million.

The joint venture paid roughly $25,000 per unit for the three-story building at 2400 Glades Circle, according to Vizzda and records. The seller, a joint venture between Chicago-based Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and Northfield, Ill.-based self-storage developer The Lock Up, completed the 94,000-square-foot facility with 745 self-storage units last year.

Harrison Street and The Lock Up paid $1 million for the 1.6-acre property in 2020, records show.

The Weston self-storage building’s units range in size from 5-feet-by-5-feet to 10-feet-by-30-feet, according to RentCafe.com. Monthly rates range from $60 to $439.

In September, TPG and Value Store It formed a partnership to acquire self-storage properties in Florida, a press release states. The joint venture secured a $300 million credit facility for its buying spree.
