Wilson & Co Investments

Wilson & Co Investments

Guy and Eugenia Wilson established Wilson & Co Investments in 1999 as the investment vehicle for their growing self-storage and retail businesses. The office's capital base transformed in 2021, when Blackstone acquired Fort Knox Self Storage, the 13-site Melbourne portfolio Guy had spent two decades building alongside his family. Eugenia, who practised law for nearly a decade before running a B2B and B2C retail company, brings the legal and operational background that shapes the office's direct-investment discipline. The office allocates across three distinct lanes: commercial property development, self-storage consultancy, and direct investing in targeted technology and industrial themes. Guy Wilson's property track record includes developing warehouse facilities and state-of-the-art archive management centres across Melbourne. On the deployment side, the firm focuses on early-stage and middle-market opportunities in AI, health and pharmaceuticals, and alternative power sources, with a geographic reach spanning Europe, North America, and Oceania. The investment structures used include direct co-investments, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), and private credit. The firm also holds a private gallery asset, the LUMAS Gallery Collection in Melbourne. Wilson & Co operates as a lean, principal-led office run exclusively by its two founders. Beyond the core investment portfolio, the firm maintains a philanthropic commitment through Child Abuse Prevention Research Australia (CAPRA). In 2021, the Wilsons sold Fort Knox Self Storage to Blackstone, crystallising the foundational liquidity that now underpins the family office's direct-investing activity and commercial development pipeline. What distinguishes Wilson & Co is the absence of an institutionalised investment committee or external manager layer: the Wilsons are both the decision-makers and the operators with embedded sector knowledge — particularly in self-storage and commercial real estate development — which allows the office to evaluate and execute deals without delegation to third-party GPs.
