Strategy
Bahlmann Group is a growth-oriented real estate private equity firm operating out of Boston, MA. The company’s investment philosophy is to acquire value-oriented commercial real estate in New England, develop it into self storage facilities, operate with excellence, and deliver exceptional returns to the stakeholders.
TARGETED ASSETS
We target obsolete or underperforming assets that offer self storage repositioning opportunities to capitalize on speed to market and below ground-up construction costs. With strong focus on New England to realize operational synergies, Bahlmann Group seeks out growing regions with low self storage saturation and evolving demographic trends. With a self-financed track record emerging, strong network of brokers, lenders, and operational partners, Bahlmann Group is well positioned to execute on its strategy.
OUR APPROACH
We invest in markets with low self storage saturation (below 7 SF per capita, accounting for development pipeline) that are experiencing positive demographic changes (size of population, net migration, average income per household). Our appetite for knowledge and on-the-ground research guide our decision making. We are committed to building a business founded on the principles of intellectual rigor, execution excellence, and integrity.
