LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI” or the “Company”), a publicly registered non-listed real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), in partnership with SmartCentres (TSX: SRU.UN), is pleased to announce the opening of its second self-storage facility in the Greater Montréal Area.
Located at 5500 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest in Montréal, Québec, the facility occupies a highly visible corner site approximately three miles from downtown Montréal, with convenient access to Autoroute 15 and Route 136. Positioned along a major urban corridor with approximately 100,000 vehicles passing daily, the property serves a dense and growing trade area characterized by strong urban demographics, a high concentration of rental households, and long-term demand drivers within a three-mile radius.
The Class A, five-story facility offers approximately 124,000 net rentable square feet and approximately 1,450 climate-controlled storage units. Purpose-built to deliver a modern customer experience, the facility features three elevators and premium amenities designed to meet the evolving needs of residential and commercial customers alike.
Strategically located within Montréal’s urban core, the facility is positioned to serve a broad and diverse customer base spanning high-density residential communities, established rental markets, and growing mixed-use neighborhoods across the city. The facility is well-positioned to serve surrounding communities, including Saint-Henri, Little Burgundy, Griffintown, Pointe-Saint-Charles, Ville-Émard, Verdun, West Island, Westmount and Downtown Montréal.
“We are excited to further expand our presence in Montréal with the opening of our second facility in the market,” said H. Michael Schwartz, President and CEO of SST VI. “This facility represents more than simply adding another location. It immediately strengthens our market presence and advances our strategy of building in high-demand urban markets. Montréal continues to demonstrate attractive long-term fundamentals driven by density, strong demographics, and barriers to new supply. As we continue to grow across North America, we remain focused on creating high-quality assets and delivering a secure, convenient and customer-focused storage experience in the communities we serve.”
