Extra Space Storage Inc. (EXR) announced on July 9, 2012, the completion of its acquisition of the remaining 94.9% equity interest in its joint venture, ESS PRISA III LLC, from Prudential Real Estate Investors (PREI). This transaction, which closed on July 2, 2012, results in Extra Space Storage gaining full ownership of the joint venture.
