CBRE Capital Markets advises Talliosake on the launch of a Nordic drive-up self-storage platform with Heitman

Talliosake and Heitman establish a Nordic drive-up self-storage joint venture platform focused on developing new drive-up self-storage units across Finland and Sweden for entrepreneurs, businesses, and consumers.

Helsinki, November 10, 2026. CBRE Capital Markets Finland has advised Talliosake Oy (“Talliosake”) on the establishment of a new Nordic drive-up self-storage joint venture focused on developing new drive-up self-storage units across Finland and Sweden for entrepreneurs, businesses, and consumers. The transaction includes an investment by Heitman LLC (“Heitman”), a global real estate investment management firm, into the joint venture Talli, and the sale of Talliosake’s rental operating business to the joint venture. Talliosake will remain a minority investor in the joint venture and the platform will be led by Talliosake’s existing management team.

To date, Talliosake has primarily focused on the development and sale of individual drive-up self-storage units. Building on Talliosake’s existing expertise and proven operating model, the joint venture will adopt a develop-to-hold strategy, creating and operating income-producing assets for long-term ownership. The platform will be led by Talliosake’s existing management team, supported by Heitman’s capital and sector expertise, with the ambition to expand across both Finland and Sweden.

“This transaction demonstrates our ability to connect global capital with compelling local opportunities,” said Jouni Levo, Head of Capital Markets at CBRE Finland. “We identified a strong operating business with significant potential to accelerate its growth through a shift in business model and matched it with an investor that has a long track record of supporting and scaling self-storage platforms globally. Talliosake has been a pioneer of the drive-up self-storage concept in Finland and Sweden, and Heitman brings the experience, resources, and long-term investment perspective needed to support the next phase of growth.”

“Our objective was to find a partner that shares our long-term vision and has the capacity to help us realize it,” said Mikko Lahtinen, CEO of Talli Nordics. “CBRE had a deep understanding of both our business and strategic ambitions and managed the process with professionalism and commitment throughout. Together with Heitman, we have created a strong foundation for building Talli into the leading drive-up self-storage platform in the Nordics.”
