Stack-It Storage Announces Closing Of Acquisition Of Lake Houston Self-Storage Facility

HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stack-It Storage, Inc. (STAK) announces that it has closed the acquisition of the Company's initial operating facility in the self-storage business.  In this transaction, the Company acquired a fully operational self-storage facility with approximately 22,000 net rentable square feet located in Huffman, Texas, for a purchase price of $1,500,000.  The seller was a private company.  The facility is owned by a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company and will be operated under the brand name of "Stack-It Storage."

The acquired facility is located in close proximity to Lake Houston, a major water reservoir and aquatic recreational area, and presently consists of 202 non-climate controlled self-storage units situated on approximately 2.57 acres of land.  It was originally constructed in stages from 1996 to 2004 and current occupancy of the self-storage units is approximately 95%.  Within the existing land tract, Stack-It Storage believes that there is sufficient capacity to substantially expand the facility and the Company is currently investigating the feasibility of constructing up to 20,000 square feet of additional climate controlled storage space.

Acquisition cost of the Lake Houston storage facility was largely financed via a secured term loan from a commercial bank.  The loan is structured with interest only payable on a monthly basis for the first two years of the loan.  Beginning in the third year, such payments will also include a monthly principal component, based on a 25 year amortization.  The loan matures at the end of the third year with two one-year extension periods available at the election of the bank.
