Jernigan Capital, Inc. Closes Second Louisville Self-Storage Development Investment

-Announces Opening of Long Island Facility-

Jernigan Capital, Inc. (NYSE:JCAP) (the “Company”) announced today that it has closed a $9.9 million investment in a proposed climate controlled self-storage project in Louisville, Kentucky. The 725 unit, 74,172 net rentable square foot facility will consist of two all climate controlled buildings.

The proposed project will be located just south of I-264 on Bardstown Road, a main traffic artery carrying 45,000 vehicles per day between downtown Louisville and I-285, the new outer ring. The immediate area has seen rapid redevelopment in recent years with the addition of big-box retailers such as Target, Walmart, Costco and Lowes Home Improvement, and is within two miles of the Highlands residential section and Yum! Brands, Inc.’s global headquarters. Chick-fil-A and Starbucks have recently opened stores within walking distance of the project.

The facility will serve several surrounding communities that provide limited self-storage options. Construction is expected to begin immediately and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. Storage Development Partners, LLC, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is the developer of the proposed project. This is the third self-storage development in which the Company and Storage Development Partners have co-invested.

The Company also announced today that the 1,195-unit multi-story climate-controlled self-storage facility in Bay Shore, NY in which the Company holds a $16.1 million investment and 49.9% profits interest, received its Certificate of Occupancy. The facility, which opened for business on September 29, 2017, will be managed by CubeSmart.
