Joan Lucas, of Joan Lucas Real Estate Services, sold Citadel Self Storage, located at 3979 Bijou St. in Colorado Springs, CO on December 21, 2017 for $3,050,000.  Citadel Self Storage is comprised of 35,000 gross square feet of self storage, two 1,768 square foot duplexes, and 81,000 square feet of ground approved for an immediate expansion that could double the size of the property.  In 2017 the Sellers created a new entrance with monument signage to the site off of Pikes Peak Avenue.  The new entrance, along with good operating history, made this a great opportunity for an investor.  Argus Professional Management will be managing the property for the new owner.
