JLL secures financing and joint venture equity for Texas self storage portfolio
Funds facilitated AVAD Capital’s acquisition of a nine-property portfolio in Midland and Odessa, Texas
DALLAS, Feb. 11, 2025 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged financing and equity for the acquisition of a nine-property, 5,180-unit self-storage portfolio in Midland and Odessa, Texas.
JLL’s National Self Storage team marketed the portfolio for sale and worked on behalf of the buyer, AVAD Capital, to arrange fixed-rate acquisition financing from 3650 Capital and Goldman Sachs. In addition, JLL facilitated the formation of a new investment partnership between AVAD Capital and Etude Capital.
“As native Texans with West Texas roots, we are pleased to increase our footprint in Texas with an attractive addition to our portfolio,” said Tim Springer, Founding Partner of AVAD Capital. “JLL Capital Markets helped us to tell the story of value and to arrange debt and equity capital through partnerships with a long-term view.”
The portfolio is strategically located throughout Midland and Odessa, which is part of the Permian Basin. This area is the highest producing oil field in the U.S., supporting a thriving and affluent community that generates outsized self-storage demand.
JLL’s Capital Markets Debt and Equity Advisory team representing AVAD Capital was led by John Bauman and Kris Lowe who were supported by Luke Rogers and Scott Cole.
“Our longstanding relationship with AVAD Capital and deep respect for their firm make this collaboration particularly rewarding. We're proud to have contributed to their strategic acquisition of this portfolio, and we are confident in their ability to maximize the potential of these assets under the Avid Storage brand,” said Bauman.
