Basis Industrial, a privately held and vertically integrated real estate owner and operator based in Delray Beach, Florida, has closed a $27 million construction loan for a ground-up self-storage development located at 117 N. Long Beach Road, Rockville Centre, NY 11570. The project, branded as Public Storage, will encompass approximately 121,500 square feet upon completion.
The loan was provided by NexBank as the senior lender and NexPoint as the mezzanine lender. This transaction marks the second closing between Basis Industrial and NexBank/NexPoint, longtime partners in the firm’s self-storage division.
Located in the heart of Rockville Centre, the project will deliver a modern, institutional-quality self-storage facility designed to meet the growing demand for secure, climate-controlled storage in the Long Island market. Construction is expected to begin immediately, with anticipated completion in early spring 2027.
The loan was provided by NexBank as the senior lender and NexPoint as the mezzanine lender. This transaction marks the second overall loan closing between Basis Industrial and NexBank/NexPoint, longtime partners in the company’s self-storage division.
This new development lending platform will encompass approximately four to five additional self-storage deals over the next 12 months.
The transaction was arranged by Anthony Scavo, president and managing partner of Basis Industrial. Taylor Colbert of NexPoint led the mezzanine financing on behalf of NexPoint, working alongside Scavo to complete the transaction. Mike Mendelow represented NexBank.
The Rockville Centre property was purchased in Q4 2022 for $5.5 million. After working closely with the municipality on final design approvals, the project is now ready to move forward.
“This closing represents another key step in our ongoing development pipeline and continued partnership with NexBank and NexPoint,” said Scavo. “We have several additional projects expected to close in the coming months as we expand our self-storage footprint nationwide.”
Basis Industrial’s self-storage division is expected to complete four to five additional closings in its development pipeline over the next six to eight months.
