01 Partially Leased Class A Facilities
Acquire new, but not yet stabilized, properties and lease vacant units
Canada’s rapidly growing population and undersupply of available self-storage will continue to drive demand in a defensive asset class that outperforms the market during turbulent periods. Consumer preferences are evolving, favouring newer stores in more urban locations, and Class A assets like those held by the fund represent the future of the industry.
With 11 assets acquired or under contract in four primary and secondary markets from British Columbia to Quebec, the fund’s total assets currently sit at more than $200 million. The fund offers a blend of strategies, including lease up, repositioning and development, in a closed-end structure focused on capital growth over a holding period of five to seven years.
Launched in early 2023, to date the fund has grown to own and control assets with a total value exceeding $200 million.
