In his new position, he will be responsible for leading the Go Store It team, overseeing the company’s national investment and development activities, and executing existing and new facility operating strategies.

Prior to joining MCSS, Carr launched and operated a self-storage investment fund and provided consulting services for private equity groups interested in the storage business.
He also served as chief investment officer at LifeStorage’s California-based office, and previously spent eight years at CubeSmart, where he served as vice president of investments and controller.
Carr holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Business Administration from Villanova University.
Go Store It recently announced that one of its Delaware statutory trust offerings, Go Store It Wilmington Storage DST, was fully subscribed by investors after raising nearly $5.2 million. This was the company’s second fully subscribed offering in the independent broker-dealer/RIA channel.
Based in Charlotte, Go Store It is an affiliate of Madison Capital Group LLC and specializes in the acquisition, development and management of self-storage assets throughout the country. The company currently has more than 2 million square feet of storage space under management and construction.
