The transaction
What actually happened.
Oakside sold a 75,548 NRSF, 558-unit institutional-quality facility in Gainesville, Florida, generating more than 15 qualified offers. The owners had first met Cameron Vale in 2019, held the asset, and came back to Oakside in 2026.
- 01
The challenge
Ownership first sat down with Cameron Vale in 2019, saw a process run, and decided to hold. Coming back seven years later meant re-establishing what the asset was worth and running a process that justified the wait.
- 02
What Oakside did
Oakside ran a targeted process built to create competitive tension while holding certainty of execution for ownership, then worked the deal through diligence against the seller's own objectives.
- 03
The outcome
More than 15 qualified offers from institutional and private capital. Diligence and seller objectives were worked through to closing certainty.
In their words
Our team executed a targeted process designed to maximize competitive tension while maintaining certainty of execution for ownership. The level of buyer interest reflects continued demand for high-quality self storage assets across growth-oriented Southeast markets.
