("SmartStop" or the "Company"), a self-managed and fully-integrated self storage company with approximately $1.7 billion of self storage assets under management, today announced the acquisition of a recently built six-story self storage facility in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. The property was completed in April 2020 and was approximately 35% occupied at acquisition. This is SmartStop's 17th owned or managed location in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA"), and 153rd property in North America.
The six-story facility is located at 450 Iroquois Shore Rd in the Oakville community, one of the GTA's most affluent suburbs.

This facility serves the communities of Oakville, Kerr Village, Clearview, and Falgarwood and is located a short drive from Sheridan College. The property's 1,073 units are 100% climate-controlled across approximately 81,500 square feet. The property offers customers a variety of amenities including state-of-the-art security systems, elevators, keypad access, a gated drive-in loading area and more. The facility is the Company's third in Oakville, establishing SmartStop as the dominant market player in the submarket.
"We are thrilled to add to our best-in-class portfolio in the Greater Toronto Area," said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SmartStop. "This property's favorable demographics and supply constraints exemplify the compelling characteristics of the entire region, which we believe is one of the most attractive self storage markets in North America.
