Managing Partner Mike Vahle with Capital Growth StoreGuard joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his focus on community and the growth within the self-storage industry. On the All About Real Estate segment, Vahle joins host Carol Morgan to share an overview of what Capital Growth StoreGuard offers.
With a background in real estate development, Vahle has worked with small businesses and large companies such as Walmart and Publix Storage. In January of 2023, Vahle and his business partner, Eric Buchalter, launched Capital Growth StoreGuard – a real estate development and acquisition company focused on self-storage.
Capital Growth StoreGuard is an Atlanta-based company that provides solutions to customers seeking more space to store their valuable goods. After a few months in, Vahle and his team acquired a facility in Georgia where they continue to expand and add amenities to modernize the offering. The company is also working on several development projects in the metro Atlanta area and other large metro areas across the Southeast.
One of the many reasons StoreGuard is effective and successful is the Capital Growth Buchalter team. As a vertically integrated and well-established real estate development and acquisition team, Capital Growth Buchalter serves as the parent company for StoreGuard. The Capital Growth platform has over 70 years of experience and has delivered approximately 1,500 projects nationwide. With the Buchalter team providing in-house capabilities such as accounting, legal, project management and design, Capital Growth StoreGuard has the ability to take on any project, no matter the difficulty.
Vahle said, “The Buchalter team has been a good advantage for StoreGuard!”
Setting the new standard for the self-storage industry, Capital Growth StoreGuard provides customers with top-quality services and delivers desirable features, including additional hours of coverage, redundant security measures, climate-controlled units and modernized design elements.
Vahle said, “We try to not only keep up but to get ahead of the curve and offer next-level service.”
With self-storage facilities rising in popularity, Vahle explains that the typical demand driver for the storage industry is a disruptive life event such as divorce or sudden relocation. In addition to the typical drivers, the 2020 pandemic sparked an increase in the demand for self-storage, with individuals carving out space for home offices, remote schooling spaces and hobby areas. In today’s housing market, individuals are beginning to downsize – creating a new market for the self-storage industry.
Vahle said, “When you look from generation to generation, the percentage of usage of self-storages continues to tick up.”

Information on Self Storage!
Like it or not, we do love our stuff. And whether we’re in the midst of a move, downsizing or running an e-commerce business, space is never enough. But everything can have a place in storage, from boxes of books and toys you’re keeping for the next bundle of joy to files, seasonal clothing and extra furniture – they’ve all created more demand for self-storage.
Interest in self-storage has spiked in recent years, mostly in southwestern hubs, largely driven by significant changes in the economics and the local markets. Atlanta has seen one of the biggest growth rates in terms of the number of searches at 314%.
