SAFStor is the largest national developer of institutional-quality self-storage in the US. Vertically integrated, the Company’s focus is on mitigating market and development risk; accordingly, we employ a proven, data-driven approach and partner with best-in-class capital providers, general contractors and management partners, including Extra Space Storage, CubeSmart, and Life Storage.
SAFStor adheres to a defined set of investment criteria which it vets using its proprietary market selection software, and seeks to minimize development and construction risk by principally adhering to a building prototype derived from REIT specifications. Before a site is authorized to proceed, it is subjected to a triple-redundant underwriting process, both internal and independent. Execution is then overseen by SAFStor’s in-house development, construction management, and asset management teams. Our volume-driven approach allows teams from each discipline to mine prior, current, and future projects for data consistency.
SAFStor’s principals bring over 50 years of in-depth real estate experience, having developed over $3.5 billion of mixed-use real estate since 2012, and over $400 million of self-storage since 2017. Prior partners include sovereign wealth funds, tier one PE firms, and pension funds.
