"I am delighted to join such a wonderful team at Highline," said Mr. Sebring. "Highline Storage Partners and USA Storage Centers are well positioned within the self-storage marketplace for significant growth and industry leadership long into the future. I am excited to help drive operating performance alongside our Highline team members throughout our growing portfolio of properties."
Mr. Levy brings 17 years of self-storage experience and 20 years of real estate experience to Highline. He was most recently Executive Vice President, Investments at Simply Self Storage, where he ran external growth initiatives and executed $475 million of acquisitions in two years.
