Oak Brook, Ill. – Inland Private Capital Corporation (“IPC”), an industry leading real estate investment manager, together with Devon Self Storage Holdings (US) LLC (“Devon”), a privately held national storage operator and developer, today announced the opening of their latest self-storage conversion located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
