Compound Real Estate has acquired two sites in Walthamstow and South London to add to its Comporter self-storage platform.
The site in Walthamstow sits in the Blackhorse Lane regeneration area and was purchased from Dignity Funerals with a short-term leaseback while Compound advances a planning application, which it expects to submit in early 2026. The South London site was acquired from a private seller.
The acquisitions follow earlier purchases in Tunbridge Wells, Milton Keynes, Guildford, New Barnet and Peckham to form a seven-asset portfolio across London and the South East. Compound hopes to expand the platform to 10 assets within the next 14 months.
Ryan Mortimer, principal at Compound, said: “Our site selection is underpinned by a clear, location-specific investment rationale, grounded in self-storage data and forward-looking market analysis. Each sub-market is exposed to varied demand drivers, ranging from inner-city regeneration to commuter belt expansion, which in turn, de-risks our portfolio performance and smooths cyclical volatility.”
Jacob Sandelson, founder and CEO of Compound, added: “Our recent acquisitions strategically enhance Comporter’s exposure to high demand, underserved sub-markets, complementing our existing portfolio while creating a scalable platform for further growth. By targeting areas with limited modern supply, strong catchment populations and integrating ESG-led operational design, we are building a self-storage portfolio that is both coherent and institutionally robust, aligned with long-term market fundamentals and investor expectations.”
Compound was advised by Freeths and Greenacre Real Estate on the Walthamstow deal.
