Geoff Babbitt

Geoff entered the self-storage and industrial market in 2012 with the initial acquisition of seven facilities in the Southwestern US. In partnership with Argus Professional Management, Geoff was able to create a fully integrated ownership and management platform under the holding company GB Capital. GB Capital grew the self-storage portfolio to twenty-five properties located in CO, NM, TX, AZ and AR. The storage properties operated under the flag of “U-Store-It”. In late 2017, GB Capital sold a majority of its storage holdings as a portfolio, earning significant returns for the Company and its partners. GB Capital will continue to acquire and operate self-storage and industrial properties into the future under this platform.
