Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our Smart Storage Platform, Equity-First Financing, modular construction, and investment strategy.

What is the Smart Storage Platform?

Our signature model combines modular construction, equity-first financing, and advanced remote automation. This allows us to build facilities faster, manage them more efficiently, and significantly reduce investment risk—especially in underserved Canadian markets.

How does your Equity-First Financing model protect investors?

We fully fund initial project phases upfront with investor equity, covering land, site preparation, and initial modular construction before introducing any debt. This eliminates costly early-stage loans, reduces carrying costs, and ensures your investment is directly secured by tangible, revenue-producing assets.

Why focus on secondary and tertiary markets?

Major institutional developers typically target primary cities, leaving significant unmet storage demand in smaller markets. Our strategic focus on these underserved areas results in rapid lease-ups, stable occupancy, and greater potential returns for investors.

How long does it take to develop a modular storage facility?

Our modular approach enables us to deploy operational facilities in just 3–6 months, significantly faster than traditional storage projects that can take years. This rapid deployment reduces risk and accelerates investor returns.

What kind of returns can I expect?

Returns vary by project, but we typically target high teens to low twenties (annualized returns). By leveraging higher operational efficiency, modular construction cost savings, and phased expansions, we consistently aim for strong financial performance. Detailed financial projections are available in our Data Room.

How do I monitor my investment?

Investors have continuous access through our secure online portal, receiving regular updates on construction progress, occupancy rates, financial performance, and project milestones—ensuring full transparency and real-time visibility into your investment's growth.

Is there an exit strategy, or do I stay invested indefinitely?

This is a development-stage equity investment. We typically plan for a 3- to 5-year investment horizon. Once facilities stabilize, we obtain a cashflow-based refinance to implement distributions of preferred returns, a return of invested capital and an equity buyback. Investors can choose to reinvest their capital into new projects or exit fully, aligning flexibly with their individual investment goals.

Do you offer investment guarantees?

As with all private equity investments, specific returns can't be guaranteed. However, our Equity-First Financing model, strategic phased development, and low-leverage approach are explicitly designed to mitigate risk, protect your principal, and deliver attractive returns compared to traditional real estate investments, particularly in unstable economic conditions.
