SKILLS
ABOUT JAMES BERRY
Jim Berry is the President of Highline Storage Partners (\"HSP\") and Managing Member of RRB Development, LLC.(“RRB”) where Jim has been actively developing and acquiring Self Storage assets in and around the southeast. Jim feels strongly that current and long-term demographics coupled with the lack of newly built supply has created an amazing window of opportunity to develop more self-storage facilities. Additionally, given the outstanding historical performance and stable cash flows that the self-storage asset class has proven to provide investors, Jim feels that demand from institutional and private investors will not only increase, but also sustain through future market cycles. Jim seeks to apply his experience in mixed-use masterplanned and New Urbanist developments to urban infill self storage development. As traditional suburban real estate (such as offices, apartments and retail) has morphed in form to accommodate an urban context, so too must self storage if it is to fit seamlessly within these urban environments. Today’s urban municipalities have adopted a variety of smart growth and urban infill codes and regulations focused on creating a lively pedestrian friendly environment that offers live/work/play opportunities. Jim has had great success by applying his understanding and previous experience in New Urbanism while working with governing authorities and neighboring stakeholders to design a project which is commensurate with the existing urban context.Jim has been a member of the Urban Land Institute, the Congress for New Urbanism, International Council of Shopping Centers, a licensed GA Real Estate agent, and taken several CCIM certification classes. As a second generation developer, Jim spent his childhood driving around sitting on his father’s armrest listening as his father and his business partners analyzed different properties, visited tenants and created back of envelope deals.
