Who we are

Read more

Stor-Age is the leading and largest self storage property fund and brand in South Africa, and the first and only self storage Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed on any emerging market exchange. Our Listed Portfolio comprises 65 properties across South Africa and the UK, with a combined value of over R6.0 billion.

CEO Report

We remain sector leaders in South Africa, offering a property portfolio that is unmatched in value, lettable area, number of tenants, location and geographic footprint. Our strict focus on growing the portfolio with properties that display excellent fundamentals continues to be a hallmark underpinning our success.

Stor-Age’s performance is characterised by an attractive level of dividend growth since listing in 2015 and the ongoing and disciplined execution of our current five-year strategy. The acquisition of the Managed Portfolio cements our market-leading position in South Africa, while the conclusion of two high-quality acquisitions in the UK demonstrates our ability to supplement the attractive organic growth delivered by our existing business, Storage King.

Financial Review

Our strong balance sheet, reinforced by the debt restructuring and oversubscribed equity raises, continues to provide the flexibility to target select development and acquisition opportunities as they arise. In the year, in addition to completing the Bryanston development, we also successfully closed four acquisitions – the Managed Portfolio and three new trading properties – adding significant scale and value to the portfolio. An additional three properties were acquired in SA for future development. All three are in prime sought-after locations and together will offer an additional c. 20 000 m2+ GLA once developed.
