The situation
An exchanger needed a like-kind replacement that could be identified and closed inside the 45- and 180-day windows. The target was stabilized, professionally managed self-storage in a supply-constrained Northeast corridor — Westchester County, about 25 miles north of midtown Manhattan.
What Hartley did
- Sourced Jefferson Valley Self Storage (621 Bank Rd, Jefferson Valley, NY)
- Structured a direct real-property interest suitable for like-kind exchange treatment
- Coordinated identification language and closing timing with the exchanger’s QI
- Partnered with Horizon Storage Group for day-to-day operations
