The property is within walking distance of the University of South Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Aspyre at Assembly Station acquisition aligns with our strategy to invest in well-located, Class A student housing communities near major universities that are purpose-built and offer best-in-class amenities,\u201d said H. Michael Schwartz, chief executive officer of SmartStop. \u201cThe University of South Carolina is an R1: Doctoral University, as classified by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education; is ranked on the U.S. News Best Colleges\u2014National University Rankings; and is a 27-year member of the Southeastern Conference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to a strong increase in enrollment at the University of South Carolina over the last decade, demand for student housing near the university has expanded significantly,\u201d said John Strockis, senior vice president of acquisitions for SmartStop. \u201cThe property\u2019s large units and enhanced privacy design allows our student residents to live with their friends while having the comfort of their own bedroom, closet and bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located on the corner of Assembly and Whaley Streets in Columbia, the property is 100 percent occupied for the 2017-2018 academic year and is within walking distance of classrooms, athletic facilities, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment amenities.<\/p>\n
