About Colin Phelan
I\'m a self-storage operator and asset manager with over 6 years of experience leading operations, development, and capital strategy for properties across California. I currently serve as Director of Operations for a private portfolio of storage assets, overseeing everything from day-to-day management to long-term expansion and refinance strategy.Recent projects include- 198-unit expansion in Menifee, CA in 2024- 72-unit expansion in Barstow, CA in 2023- Full portfolio refinance in 2022, locking in favorable terms ahead of rising interest ratesI’m especially passionate about connecting with fellow small and mid-sized owner-operators across the West Coast to share insights on operations, financing, and market opportunities. In addition to storage, I also provide sales and operations consulting to several of our consumer-focused startup investments. I like building cool stuff—whether it\'s a new facility, a growth process, or a product.Let’s connect!
