On August 22, 2017, a subsidiary of Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) closed on the purchase of a self storage facility located in Nantucket, Massachusetts (the “Nantucket Property”). The Nantucket Property is a self storage facility that contains approximately 93,000 net rentable square feet and 840 rental units. The purchase price for the Nantucket Property was $37.5 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees, which was funded with proceeds from the Registrant’s public offering. The Registrant incurred approximately $0.7 million in acquisition fees in connection with this acquisition.

On August 23, 2017, the Registrant issued a press release announcing the acquisition of the Nantucket Property. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 7.01 disclosure.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information in this Item 7.01 disclosure, including Exhibit 99.1 and information set forth therein, is deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Since it is impracticable to provide the required financial statements for the acquired real property described in Item 2.01 at the time of this filing and no financials (audited or unaudited) are available at this time, the Registrant hereby confirms that it intends to file the required financial statements on or before November 7, 2017 by amendment to this Form 8-K.

See paragraph (a) above.
