As self storage has proven resilient through major economic shifts and continues to consolidate at a rapid pace, our vision is to capitalize on this trend and become a top 50 owner-operator in two years.
We will achieve this by implementing our proven progressive investment model to construct a portfolio of value-add properties that will be rolled up into a premier brand of institutional-grade assets that utilize a cutting-edge tech stack and the top services in the industry.
We have assembled a team of industry experts across self-storage operations, revenue management, marketing, and technology to deliver an unparalleled customer experience and the highest potential returns for investors.

Other Acquisition Considerations
Syndication is a Great Way to Enter the Self Storage Market
Syndication is an effective way for investors to pool their financial and intellectual resources to invest in properties and projects much bigger than they could afford or manage on their own. Projects are funded by investors by allocating a percentage ownership based on capital contributed.
Properties are acquired when fully funded, and also using leveraged financing when required. Owners receive quarterly distributions based on net income and a preferred return. Hold periods are 5-7 years, where investors also share in the equity appreciation through a capital event like refinance or other disposition of the property.
Our commitment to promoting the best investment vehicle out there is anchored on our reputation of providing a comprehensive system and platform to make self storage investing as simple and accessible as possible for everyone.
Note: There are exceptions, such as markets where significant growth is anticipated due to the movement of large employers to an area.

It is calculated by taking the total gross square footage for all the facilities in that area and dividing by the total population.)
