Hurricane Helene caused record flooding in late September 2024 in Asheville, North Carolina. One of our wholly-owned properties in this market was severely flooded. As a result of the flooding and related damage, we recorded a net casualty loss related to the flooded property of approximately $4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, to write-off the carrying value at the time of the loss. We believed it was probable that we would receive insurance proceeds to offset the casualty loss and we recorded a receivable for the carrying amount of $4.6 million related to our pending insurance claim as of December 31, 2024. There is no assurance as to when this property will be rebuilt or the performance of this property upon completion or stabilization. The casualty loss was completely offset in our consolidated statements of operations by such expected recovery. Any amount of insurance recovery related to the property damage in excess of the casualty loss incurred is considered a gain contingency, and would be recognized upon final settlement of the claims. As of December 31, 2025, we had received approximately $3.5 million in casualty insurance proceeds, and approximately $1.5 million was pending payment.

(1)
Represents the approximate occupancy percentage of the property at the time of acquisition.
(2)
The allocation noted above is based on a determination of the relative fair value of the total consideration and represents the amount paid including capitalized acquisition costs, as applicable.
(3)
The operating results of the self storage properties acquired have been included in our consolidated statements of operations since their acquisition dates.
(4)
This property was sold to SST X on October 30, 2025 for approximately $7.9 million. See below for additional detail.

Disposition of Self Storage Facility

On October 30, 2025, we sold our Murfreesboro, Tennessee property to SST X for approximately $7.9 million, which was equal to the purchase price we paid for the property in February 2025, plus an additional amount to cover certain post-closing adjustments and capital improvements we made on the property since acquisition. This transaction was approved by the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors and the board of directors of SST X, including its independent trustees. We recognized a gain on disposition of real estate of approximately $0.3 million in connection with this transaction.

Eminent Domain

In May 2025, we learned that two of our self storage properties in Asheville, North Carolina, the Asheville III and Asheville IV properties, may be impacted by the current plan for an extensive and prolonged highway expansion project. We are in the preliminary stages of evaluating the impact that this project may have on these two properties, including how much of each property may be taken. The aggregate rentable square feet and carrying value of these properties as of December 31, 2025, was approximately 115,000 square feet and $15.8 million, respectively. We will continue to work with the authorities and their representatives to further understand the impact to our properties, attempt to mitigate the impact to us and our tenants, and as needed, negotiate the fair value of any property that may ultimately be taken. We do not expect the potential taking of land under eminent domain to have a material impact on our results of operations and we evaluated these properties for impairment, concluding that as of December 31, 2025 there continues to be no impairment. The total revenue for the Asheville III and Asheville IV properties for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Potential Acquisitions

As of February 27, 2026, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries were party to a purchase and sale agreement with an unaffiliated third party for the acquisition of one parcel of land located in Canada, which had not closed as of December 31, 2025. The total purchase price for this property is approximately $4.7 million, plus closing costs. There can be no assurance that we will complete this acquisition. If we fail to acquire this property, in addition to the incurred acquisition costs, we may also forfeit earnest money of approximately $0.3 million as a result.

We may assign the above purchase and sale agreement to one of our Managed REITs and/or contribute such property to a joint venture.
