Surprise, AZ – The Gorden Group announces the successful sale of Surprise Mini Storage, a high-performing self-storage facility located at 15701 North Reems Road in Surprise, Arizona. The transaction closed on November 25, 2025, with Jeff Gorden of The Gorden Group, an affiliate of ARGUS Self Storage Advisors, representing the seller.
Constructed in 2002, Surprise Mini Storage encompasses 110,325 rentable square feet across 814 units and was operating at 88% occupancy at the time of sale—reflecting strong and consistent demand in one of the fastest-growing communities within the Phoenix metropolitan area. The 6.14-acre (267,458 SF) property offers covered, air-conditioned storage serving residential, recreational, and business users, along with an onsite manager’s apartment and leased cell towers that generate recurring ancillary income and enhance overall cash flow.
The facility was marketed as a value-add opportunity, with clearly defined upside through professional third-party management, a rental-optimized website, and the implementation of a tenant insurance program. These attributes, combined with favorable growth trends and limited new supply in the submarket, positioned Surprise Mini Storage as a compelling investment within Arizona’s West Valley.
“The Gorden Group helped us from start to finish in selling our small business. They were professional and courteous. Communicated in a timely fashion and assisted us in better understanding the complexities of selling a long-standing family business. Recommend 100%” -Sellers
Transaction Highlights:
- Long-term Upside: High occupancy, recurring ancillary income, and clearly defined operational upside attracted strong investor interest.
- Broad Buyer Competition: The offering generated multiple qualified bids from both national self-storage operators and local investors, validating the strength of the asset and submarket.
- Efficient Transaction Execution: The sale closed through a smooth 60-day escrow, reflecting thorough preparation, clear communication, and disciplined deal management.
- Successful Outcome for Legacy Ownership: The seller achieved full market exposure and a price reflective of both current performance and future upside.
The competitive marketing process underscored sustained demand for well-located, income-producing self-storage assets in high-growth secondary markets. By positioning Surprise Mini Storage around its operational strengths and value-add potential, The Gorden Group delivered a result that aligned with the seller’s long-term goals while attracting a deep pool of motivated buyers.
