Marcus & Millichap is pleased to offer the fee simple interest in Gulf Coast Self Storage located at 1920 Sherman Avenue in Panama City, Florida (the “Property”). The Property consists of 8,750 net rentable square feet across 63 non-climate-controlled drive-up units on a 0.71-acre site, with gated access, surveillance cameras, and strong visibility along Sherman Avenue.

The property is currently operating at ±66.67% physical occupancy and generates in-place cash flow, offering a clear lease-up and revenue growth story for an operator focused on driving occupancy and optimizing rents. With below-market rate positioning relative to competitors and modern security features, the asset is positioned for continued stabilization in a growing Panama City market.
