ROBERT BRUNSWICK
CO-FOUNDER/CHAIRMAN
BUCHANAN STREET PARTNERS
WHY: Leads Buchanan Street Partners, which is
making a big bet on the self-storage market.
Also serves as chair of Hoag Hospital’s board of
directors.
IN THE NEWS: Newport Beach-based
Buchanan Street Partners recently spent nearly
$22M on 103,570-square-foot self-storage
facility in Las Vegas.
NOTABLE: Says his company considers the self-storage asset class as an
emerging opportunity for real estate investments. Self-storage properties,
Brunswick told the Business Journal last year, are more efficient than
multifamily or industrial rents, on a per square foot basis.
QUOTABLE: “Investors in general view self-storage much like
multifamily as it provides for spread of risk with its diversified tenant
base and a great hedge against inflation with the nature of its short-term
leases.”
