LADERA RANCH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. ("SmartStop” or the “Company"), a self-managed and fully integrated self storage company with approximately $1.7 billion of self storage assets under management, today announced the acquisition of a self storage facility in Riverside, CA. The facility is the Company’s third in the submarket. This is SmartStop’s 29th owned or managed location in California and 154th in North America.

The facility is located at 6637 Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside, CA, the most populous city in Southern California’s “Inland Empire.” This prime location has great visibility from Van Buren Road and provides easy access from the Riverside Freeway. The facility serves the communities of La Sierra, Corona, Eastvale, Ramona, and Jurupa Valley and is located next to Riverside Municipal Airport.
