VanWest Partners

VanWest Partners LLC is a U.S. commercial real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of self-storage assets across the United States. The firm employs a value-add and opportunistic strategy targeting self-storage facilities at various stages of the asset lifecycle — from lease-up and development to stabilized income-producing properties — with the goal of driving long-term income and capital appreciation for its investors.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, VanWest Partners operates through vertically integrated investment vehicles and an in-house management platform branded ClearHome Self Storage, which manages operations to optimize revenue, reduce expenses, and improve customer experience. The company emphasizes data-driven underwriting, disciplined conservative financial models, and active asset management to create value in primary, secondary, and tertiary markets.

VanWest Partners designs its investment opportunities primarily as private placement funds and syndications for accredited investors, offering access to the historically resilient self-storage sector through pooled vehicles (e.g., VanWest Storage Funds I–III). The firm’s strategic focus on self-storage, supported by a team with combined decades of real estate experience, positions it as a niche specialist within the alternative real estate investment landscape.
