Westport Properties Expands into Utah

Westport Properties, a leading self-storage investment and management company, has announced its expansion into Utah with the recent acquisition of three self-storage facilities. This move marks a significant milestone for the company as they venture into a new and promising market in the Mountain West region.

The newly acquired properties are strategically located in the bustling areas of Cottonwood Heights, Draper, and Millcreek, perfectly fitting the company's growth strategy. These locations add over 200,000 rentable square feet and nearly 2,000 storage units to Westport's already extensive portfolio, which now boasts over 15.5 million square feet of managed self-storage space across the nation.

A New Chapter in Utah

The acquisition reflects Westport Properties' commitment to providing top-notch storage solutions. Charles Byerly, CEO of Westport Properties, expressed enthusiasm about entering the Utah market: "We are excited to establish a presence in Utah, which is known for its vibrant and rapidly growing community. This expansion aligns seamlessly with our strategic growth objectives."

The facilities will operate under the US Storage Centers brand, ensuring that customers will receive the quality service Westport is known for. The sites feature a variety of storage options, including climate-controlled units and drive-up spaces, catering to both personal and business needs.

Modern Features and Accessibility

Each property is equipped with advanced access controls, spacious drive aisles, and well-lit premises to enhance user experience and safety. Modern office spaces are also available on-site for customer convenience, with moving supplies readily accessible. The locations are well-connected to major thoroughfares such as I-15, I-215, and I-80, making them accessible to residents of Cottonwood Heights, Draper, Millcreek, Sandy, and the greater Salt Lake City area.

This expansion not only adds significant square footage to Westport's management portfolio but also opens doors for serving a diverse range of new customers, from households needing extra storage space to businesses seeking reliable solutions for their operational needs.
