“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of this property in Fidjemoen, just west of Kristiansand. SSG already has one development project east of Kristiansand. With two City Self Storage facilities opening in Kristiansand next year, SSG will get a dominant market position in the region in combination with our existing OK minilager facilities. Kristiansand is Norway´s 6[th] largest city. This acquisition is in line with our strategy to grow our freehold portfolio in selected markets. The demand for self-storage is growing, and the demand has proven to be resilient during previous recessions. Especially urbanization and smaller living spaces are causing an increasing need for external storage solutions” says Fabian Søbak”, Chief Executive Officer of Self Storage Group.
