Temerity Strategic Partners and Store Space Self Storage Form Programmatic Co-GP Partnership
New venture targets approximately $1.2 billion of self-storage investments across the United States
CHICAGO, IL and WINTER GARDEN, FL, August 4th, 2026 — Temerity Strategic Partners (“TSP”), a Chicago-based real estate private equity firm, and Store Space Self Storage (“Store Space”), a Florida-based, vertically integrated self-storage investment, development, and operating platform, today announced the formation of a programmatic partnership focused on acquiring and developing self-storage assets across the United States.
Founded by a team that previously built and sold iStorage, Store Space has grown to more than 90 assets under management with 81 owned properties comprising more than 6.9 million square feet across over 20 states. The firm has partnered with a range of leading institutional investors, with which it continues to partner across its investment strategies.
The partnership is designed to capitalize on opportunities presented by the overhang from elevated new supply, lease-up dynamics, and fragmented ownership within the self-storage sector. The venture will target institutional-quality self-storage assets in strategically selected markets nationwide, where Store Space’s vertically integrated operating platform, proprietary technology, and revenue management capabilities support long-term value creation through disciplined capital deployment and operational execution.
The partnership includes a go-forward capital commitment to support approximately $1.2 billion of self-storage acquisitions and developments across the United States. TSP joins Store Space as a strategic capital partner for this next phase of growth, complementing Store Space’s existing relationships with institutional capital partners.
“Store Space has always been focused on building a scalable, institutional-quality platform, and we believe TSP is the right partner for our next phase of growth,” said Chris Harris, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Store Space. “The proprietary technology and AI-driven revenue and marketing tools we’ve deployed over the past year are producing move-in velocity, street-rate, and occupancy gains well ahead of the broader market. TSP’s programmatic investment approach and long-term perspective align closely with our strategy, and allow us to capitalize on opportunities driven by the sector recovery. We’re excited to continue growing the platform together.”
“This partnership positions Store Space to move decisively as opportunities emerge across the self-storage sector,” said Rob Consalvo, Co-Founder, President and Chief Operating Officer of Store Space. “TSP worked closely with us to establish a long-term capital framework that supports our acquisition and development pipeline, and their experience building institutional operating platforms makes them an ideal fit for Store Space.”
“We believe today’s self-storage market presents an attractive opportunity for experienced operators,” said Josh Livingstone, Managing Director at TSP. “Store Space’s operating model, technology platform, and disciplined approach to revenue management align well with our investment philosophy, and we’re excited to support the team’s continued growth.”
“We’re particularly attracted to platforms that have invested in the operating capabilities needed to create value across market cycles,” said Bruce Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TSP. “Store Space’s long-term approach to building its business made this a natural fit for our investment strategy.”
“Store Space has demonstrated an ability to build and scale an institutional real estate business while maintaining a clear strategic vision,” said Jeff Citrin, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of TSP. “We’re excited to partner with Chris, Rob, and the entire team as they continue to grow the platform.”
The Store Space partnership further expands TSP’s portfolio of programmatic capital relationships with specialized real estate operating platforms pursuing strategies in sectors supported by long-term demand fundamentals. The partnership represents an investment by Temerity Strategic Partners II, LP, the firm’s second flagship investment vehicle.
