Episode 3
Chris and Simon Forrester (CEO, SSA UK) are joined by Caleb Mercer (Managing Director, European Real Estate Investment, Heitman), to explore why institutional investors increasingly view self storage as one of Europe’s most compelling asset classes.
Caleb unpacks yield resilience, market saturation myths, routes to market for new investors, and crucially, how exits and valuation multiples actually work, from single-asset sales to portfolio-scale institutional buyouts. A great discussion for operators thinking about their long-term exit strategy or investors weighing self storage against more traditional real estate.
