James Reid To Launch FlexSpace Nation This Week

James Reid, founder and CEO of Investa Group, a national investment firm focused on the self-storage sector, will officially launch FlexSpace Nation at the ISS World Expo in Las Vegas, April 22-24, 2025.

Flex space refers to buildings that can be used for multiple purposes, typically combining elements of warehouse, office, and retail. FlexSpace Nation is growing a community to facilitate growth and opportunity in this niche space.

“The ground swell of interest in flex space, and weakened demand for self-storage, make this the perfect time to launch FlexSpace Nation,” says Reid.

“FlexSpace Nation is an incredible resource for anyone looking to get into the newest niche in the self-storage industry. From a deep library of educational content to opportunities to connect with developers, owners, and entrepreneurs nationwide, it’s a true hub for everything flex space,” says Cody Payne, Founder of Flex Parks USA. 

Cody Payne and Michael Tran, Founders of Flex Parks USA, are one of FlexSpace Nation’s first strategic partners. This team has a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs source, purchase, and develop top-performing flex space assets.

FlexSpaceNation.com will serve as headquarters for developers, investors, operators, vendors, and anyone interested in learning about the niche. 

“Flex space is like the self storage industry 30 or 40 years ago. It is ripe with opportunities. Ownership is fragmented. There is pent up demand for modern flex space developments,” says Reid.  

“FlexSpace Nation is more than a platform,” explains Tran. “It’s a strategic gateway for self storage investors to expand and diversify their portfolio with the backing of a proven team and unmatched resources.” 

Reid has decades of success building businesses, including his vertically integrated suite of companies to fund, build, and manage self storage and flex space assets. He also helped build the Self Storage Club on Clubhouse for the past five years. “We have become a true community – a great resource open to anyone interested," adds Reid. "That is the kind of community we are building for flex space, but with even more offerings.”
