Bluebird Self Storage garnered widespread media interest upon the purchase and repurposing of the former headquarters of The National Post, one of the largest newspapers in the country, into a Class ‘A’ self-storage facility. Now, less than three years after opening this flagship store at 1450 Don Mills in Toronto Bluebird Investors are being rewarded with the calculated sale of this asset after a competitive bid process brought several key players in the Canadian self-storage market to the table.
Bluebird’s acquisition and conversion of The National Post’s former Toronto headquarters is “indicative of the type of premium, high-barrier-to-entry, real estate we seek out,” says Bluebird co-founder Reade DeCurtins. “Our focus has always been on premium real estate and best-in-class management, which allows us to really deliver for our investors. We’re continuing to grow across Canada with the support of our innovative operating platform.”
“We are in the business of making money for our investors and growing Bluebird’s track record,” says founding Principal James Bennett. While the company has only been operating for five years, it has taken the Canadian self-storage market by storm, focusing on ground up development of Class ‘A’ assets in major metropolitan areas. Bluebird will continue to focus on this strategy, as well as growing its acquisition footprint through the newly launched ICM Bluebird Canadian Self Storage Fund.
