WEST CHESTER, PA, UNITED STATES, June 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hearthfire Capital and Hearthfire Self Storage, a real estate private equity firm and self storage division of Hearthfire Holdings, and Atomic Storage Group, a national full-service self-storage management company, announce the formation of a strategic partnership today. The companies share a long-term strategy focused on scaling a diversified portfolio of self-storage assets across the Midwest and East Coast of the United States in secondary and tertiary market locations.

The framework for this strategic partnership was established in late 2021, with the $9.850M acquisition of a four-property portfolio in Indiana, totaling 1,048 units and 164,015 NRSF. With this announcement, Atomic Storage Group will assume management of Hearthfire Capital’s existing portfolio of properties in Pennsylvania. Momentum continues to build with the recent closing of an acquisition-expansion in Illinois, totaling 204 units and 31,000 NRSF plus expansion of 250 units and 34,000 NRSF, as well as a vibrant acquisition pipeline.

"As we have continued to capitalize on the excellent market position that self storage offers in expanding and contracting economic markets cycles to outperform other real estate asset classes, partnering with a premier property management firm is critical to meet the great returns our investors have come to expect from Hearthfire Capital. In the time we have joined forces with Atomic Storage Group, we have seen firsthand their operating model and how great of a leadership team Rick and Magen are in optimizing the Hearthfire Self Storage brand, store performance, and customer satisfaction. This strategic partnership enables us to continue to focus on capital management, acquisitions, and asset management to build a portfolio of properties to position our companies and investors to scale faster and drive excellent returns for years to come." - Sergio Altomare, CEO, Hearthfire Capital

Hearthfire Capital will leverage Atomic Storage Group’s extensive experience investing in real estate asset classes in the Northeastern US. As a full-service self-storage management company, Atomic Storage Group brings a vertically integrated tech stack to the partnership, including call center services, established acquisition and development resources, and comprehensive property management capabilities.

"We are excited to partner and build the Hearthfire Capital and Hearthfire Self Storage brands. With our shared values of working hard and targeting strong assets that will provide a stable return for investors, this partnership is a prime example of why Atomic Storage Group was created. We aim to work with sponsors who have a strong track record and plans for growth. Hearthfire is a perfect example of grit, focus on execution, and understanding that leveraging technology and experience is the best path to wealth." - Magen Smith, Co-Founder, Atomic Storage Group

Hearthfire and Atomic are aligned in offering their self-storage customers a seamless experience of accessing high-quality and trusted storage solutions. More broadly, this alignment of strategic vision and operational execution will also deliver strong returns to their respective stakeholders.
