Mitiska REIM, the leading specialist investor in European convenience real estate, has today announced the expansion of its next-generation storage portfolio through a strategic joint venture partnership with HeyLager, a Germany-based specialist in drive-up storage.
As part of the joint venture, Mitiska REIM has invested in HeyLager, with the plan, on behalf of the MEREP 3 fund, to substantially expand the roll out of the innovative HeyLager platform across Germany in the coming years.
Founded in August 2023 through a JV between Kriton Immobilien GmbH, a group of Family Offices and the management team and with offices in Pöcking and Munich, HeyLager is a drive-up self storage platform which to date has 6 operational sites in Germany, another 2 under construction and 3 in planning. Under the joint venture, the plan is to develop a further 15-20 sites in Germany over the next two years, with a second phase plan to increase this to 50 facilities.
HeyLager develops and operates hybrid drive-up self storage facilities which offer customers a combination of drive-up storage units and garages with a net leasable area (NLA) of 21-56 square metres, walk-in indoor units ranging from 3-14 square metres, and SME units up to 125 square metres which provide drive-up storage-office combinations.
The entire customer journey, from booking and access to onboarding, and the management and control of assets, is digitalized end-to-end and offers secure 24/7 access. This provides a premium customer experience while maintaining low operating overheads. Conveniently located on urban arterial roads, the sites are sustainably built using hybrid timber construction, allowing for short build times and a rapid rollout of new locations.
