Safestore has a proven track record in long term value creation through developing a
portfolio of self-storage properties that generate growing revenues, strong margins and sustainable cash flows. We are a leading operator in the UK and Paris, with a growing
presence in other European countries. Our business benefits from efficient centralised
operations that deliver high levels of operational leverage over time.
The self-storage INDUSTRY has excellent long term growth characteristics
Self-storage in Europe is still a relatively immature, fragmented industry with low penetration of stores per capita compared to more mature markets such as the US and Australia.
Industry growth is supply driven; new stores and effective marketing generate higher customer awareness and steadily increasing demand.
The UK and Paris markets, where Safestore is a leading player, have demonstrated resilient long term growth in supply and demand; we expect other European countries to follow suit.
Safestore’s leading PORTFOLIO is hard to replicate and provides diverse, multi-year growth opportunities
Safestore’s portfolio has been built over several decades in dense urban areas with high barriers to entry.
We have demonstrated a strong track record of securing high quality developments delivering >10% yield on cost at maturity.
Our portfolio is diverse by geography and maturity of store and provides several layers of growth over the long term, from filling unlet space in LFL stores to new stores moving up the maturity curve and covering their fixed costs.
Safestore’s pan-European PLATFORM drives revenue maximisation and scale advantages
Our pan-European infrastructure, technology and expertise in digital lead generation, pricing intelligence and in-store execution are at the core of our revenue maximisation strategy.
A customer-led approach allows us to maximise store revenue opportunities and achieve industry-leading REVPAF.
Operating leverage enables high dropthrough rate of incremental revenues; new stores roll out with marginal increases in overhead costs.
Safestore’s PEOPLE, led by a highly experienced management team, are fundamental to creating value
Safestore has a hugely experienced management team and a proven track record in value creation.
Our rigorously trained and wellincentivised store teams ensure high levels of customer satisfaction to help drive revenue growth.

Accelerated investment cycle post- Covid has peaked, and we expect a step up in earnings growth from 2026.
