JLL (JLL) Capital Markets announced that Calmwater Capital provided the two-year financing for what will be named Raymer Self Storage, managed by Public Storage.

“Los Angeles is one of the most supply-constrained self-storage markets in the country, and the Raymer storage development is located in one of the densest areas in L.A. County,” Chris Tourtellotte, managing director of LaTerra Development, said in a statement.

The 65,220-square-foot self-storage facility will have 705 mini-units and 312 lockers. It will replace a warehouse and industrial building on a 1.2-acre site at 14876 Raymer Street in Van Nuys, a prominent neighborhood in the Valley with more than 755,000 people living within a five-mile radius.

The project is expected to be complete in 2025, and it will feature 24-hour surveillance, controlled access, climate-controlled units and rooftop solar panels.
