Heitman LLC (“Heitman”), a global real estate investment management firm, today announced the launch of a core-plus strategy focused on self-storage assets across the United States.
Heitman, to date, has received commitments totaling $275 million and an additional $200 million in co-investment. The strategy will seek to generate strong cash flow and long-term growth through a diversified portfolio of stabilized, lease‑up, and selective development assets.
In connection with the launch, Heitman has completed the acquisition of a seed portfolio comprising 79 self-storage assets across 16 states. The seed portfolio represents a diversified, large-scale acquisition totaling approximately 4.9 million rentable square feet. Through operational enhancements, the portfolio is expected to benefit from continued revenue growth, with select properties also offering approximately 550,000 square feet of expansion potential.
“We believe today represents an attractive entry point. Assets can be acquired well below replacement cost, new supply is declining, and market rents remain well below levels required to incentivize new construction,” said Jen Boss, Head of Portfolio Management at Heitman and Portfolio Manager for the strategy. “The demographic outlook is also favorable, driven by the aging of Millennials and their Baby Boomer parents, both cohorts entering life stages that historically increase demand for self-storage. Our acquisition of a large, diversified seed portfolio at launch reflects this long-term conviction.”
