Go Store It Self Storage, a leading private self-storage operator, has promoted Adam Lentz to Chief Development Officer.
With more than 20 years of experience in commercial real estate development and nearly a decade dedicated to self-storage, Lentz has consistently demonstrated expertise in identifying and securing prime development opportunities in some of the nation’s highest-barrier markets.
Over his self-storage career, he has overseen the development of more than 3 million rentable square feet and nearly 31,000 units, with total project costs exceeding $600 million in top-tier markets including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle. His experience extends beyond self-storage, having previously led the development of 4,800 multifamily units, representing $1.7 billion in project costs.
“This promotion is a testament to Adam’s dedication and unwavering commitment to the full life cycle of his projects. His proven ability to deliver exceptional projects while navigating challenging entitlement processes will be instrumental in steering Go Store It’s growth on the development front,” said Evan Stephens, Chief Investment Officer, Go Store It. “We are excited to continue to find great sites and grow the GSI footprint nationwide.”
As Chief Development Officer, Lentz will lead Go Store It’s national development strategy and oversee regional development leadership as the company continues to expand its footprint and execute a growing pipeline of ground-up storage opportunities across the United States.
“It’s an honor to take on this national leadership position with Go Store It,” Lentz said. “I look forward to leading our talented development team and continuing to drive our growth strategy as we build on our reputation for delivering top-tier storage solutions in key markets.”
The announcement follows Go Store It’s recent merger with Snapbox Self Storage, which has created one of the largest private self-storage operators in the U.S. Operating under the Go Store It brand, the combined entity now oversees more than 10 million square feet of storage space across 145 locations in 23 states.
