The asking price of $8,550,000 is $191.29 psf, equating to a stabilized 7.50% cap rate.  This asset benefits from the institutional quality of construction and the prime location along a major north / south thoroughfare.  The lack of supply in the immediate trade area should allow Ashland Self Storage to become a rate leader in the market.
