Red Mountain Storage facility sold for $5.2 million

Red Mountain Storage on Nevada Highway behind the Rebel Gas Station has been sold for $5.2 million, according to the two holding companies that bought the facility.

Las Vegas-based MVP REIT and Vestin Realty Mortgage II bought the 299-unit, 5-acre facility at 1675 Nevada Highway, behind Rebel and Red Mountain Plaza for $17,391-per-unit.

The 23-building self-storage complex totals 112,000 rentable square feet. The sale price equals $46 per square foot. The facility, which consists of 288 single-story units and 11 open recreational vehicle spaces, is more than 97 percent occupied. MVP REIT will own 51 percent while Vestin will control 49 percent through a jointly managed limited liability company.

The acquisition is the third major purchase along the highway this year. Marshall Plaza, 1680 Nevada Highway, was acquired in February for $1.5 million, and the old Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1620 Nevada Highway, building and land was purchased for $723,800. That ¾ of an acre property is being converted into a Winchell’s Donut House.

Sound decisions keep Boulder City costs down

Boulder City residents occasionally ask how the city is able to have one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, and still provide needed functions such as police, fire, and public parks. In addition to land leases that provide 35% of our general fund budget, we also look at ways to keep costs down. As the city’s Purchasing, Grants and Risk manager for the last eight years, I have seen the city make decisions that keep us lean.
