On February 1, 2017, Strategic Storage Trust II  entered into a merger agreement with Strategic Storage Toronto Properties REIT, Inc., a subsidiary of SmartStop Asset Management, LLC.  The merger agreement will increase Strategic Storage Trust II’s portfolio by adding five self-storage facilities located in the Toronto metropolitan area.

A special committee consisting of the independent directors of the board of directors of SST II approved the transaction following counsel from independent legal and financial advisors.
