Leitbox Storage Partners

Leitbox Storage Partners (“Leitbox”) is a real estate investment company that develops and acquires self storage (often with mixed use & retail integration) in primary and secondary markets. The company employs a “Market Up” strategy, tailoring its real estate strategy to each particular project. Specifically, Leitbox’s real estate professionals determine which approach: repeatable prototype vertical development, mixed-use development, value-add acquisitions, or retail conversions, is the best strategy for the submarket. Leitbox uses proprietary site selection data analytics to increase occupancy outcomes and reduce the time required for site selection analysis.

Through Leitbox’s programmatic, repeatable prototype development process, the Company seeks to create efficient building outcomes at lower development costs and faster vertical execution. In addition to programmatic greenfield development of vertical self storage, founder Bill Leitner utilizes his 25-year history in the retail and mixed-use sectors to identify and acquire retail, big-box conversion opportunities and income-producing, storage facilities presenting value-add upside potential. Somewhat unique to the self storage sector, Leitbox often integrates a mixed-use/retail component to help improve financial outcomes, such as lowering the property’s break-even threshold, while allowing projects to be launched in more desirable, high-barrier to entry neighborhoods.

The Leitbox management team has developed over $3.8B of commercial real estate in 43 states. Through related-party entities, the management team currently manages over $715M AUM in retail, mixed-use, office and self storage assets.
