Crow Holdings Capital - Real Estate Reaches Key Milestones in Investment Focus on Self-Storage Properties
Includes Completion of more than 20 Transactions in Self-Storage Sector since August 2015
DALLAS, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Crow Holdings Capital – Real Estate ("CHC-RE"), a Dallas-based asset manager of private equity real estate funds, announced today its progress and provided an investment focus on development, re-development and acquisitions of existing self-storage properties. Specifically, CHC-RE reported that, since commencing targeted investment activities in August 2015, it has completed investments in approximately 24 separate self-storage transactions across its national markets. CHC-RE's self-storage platform currently contains over 2 million square feet of space across 19,032 units.
Ben Doherty, Crow Holdings Capital's Head of Self-Storage investment strategies, commented, "We are very pleased with the rate at which we have been able to deploy capital within the self-storage space, a sector that—consistent with our thesis—has demonstrated a less volatile and cyclical quality in comparison to other asset classes while presenting attractive fundamentals moving ahead. By focusing on the event driven nature of self-storage, we look forward to working with industry and joint venture partners towards the larger goal of creating value through rental rate growth and capital appreciation."
CHC-RE's general self-storage investment strategy is to acquire newer vintage properties or form joint ventures to develop Class A storage properties. Specifically, CHC-RE is targeting well-located properties that provide an opportunity for operational improvement, expansion of the existing property, the repurposing of existing buildings, and development sites, where fundamentals warrant new product.
