The Opportunity

Why Self-Storage?

Fueled by population migration, smaller living spaces, and growing rental tenures, self-storage represents one of the commercial real estate's most resilient and growing sectors. With occupancy rates sustaining above 90% despite economic shifts, specialized investors are taking note of the asset class's countercyclical performance and fragmented nature, presenting consolidation opportunities.

Strategic Storage Group leverages macro and micro-level intelligence to target acquisitions in markets poised for rent growth and occupancy upticks. We develop facilities and execute operation upgrades and revenue management initiatives that allow facilities to outperform local dynamics.

Investing in Self-Storage?
A Savvy Strategic Choice.

Self-storage may lack the flash of office towers or the glory of luxury hotels. Yet its fundamentals deliver standout stability and returns, making it a rising star among savvy institutional investors. Fueled by urbanization and smaller living spaces, occupancy rates consistently top 90% despite recessions. Rental growth keeps pace with inflation as populations and housing costs climb.

The fragmented ownership and specialty expertise needed for acquisitions, development and management deter mainstream capital flows. For those investors recognizing self-storage's resilient performance, consolidation potential, and still in early stages as an institutional asset class, strategic exposure promises diversification and risk-adjusted yields that are difficult to match within commercial real estate.

Incredible Growth

With demand accelerating across thriving metropolitan areas, the self-storage sector presents a long runway for continued expansion. Favorable demographics of smaller living spaces and rising rental tenures ensure occupancy rates and asking rents sustain 90%+ and 5%+ annualized growth. Combine this with the asset class's low operating costs, fragmented ownership, and consolidation opportunities - self-storage investments demonstrate standout growth prospects within alternatives over the foreseeable future.

Resilient Growth

Self-storage delivers resilience commercial real estate ROI — Occupancy topping 90% even amidst recessions as smaller living spaces and income instability drive demand. Facing smaller and more expensive housing units in migration hotspots, transplants increasingly use self-storage facilities to house excess possessions.

Self-Storage Investment Drivers

Consolidation

Remote work and learning trends have consolidated households while displacing college students back home, leaving little residential room for possessions. This space shortage proves self-storage's stimulus-inflated occupancy rates result as families and students seek external storage solutions.

Changing Business Practices

Capacity limits compel businesses towards external storage solutions - restaurants, retailers, and offices alike now lease units to house excess goods, inventory and furnishings. Meanwhile, consumers' embrace of online shopping and bulk purchases further stretches residential space, making self-storage an outlet for shifting purchase and storage behavior.

Favorable Long-Term Outlook

The swelling millennial renter population is just one reason for a positive long-term outlook for self-storage demand. As younger generations drive housing formations yet face budget constraints, and transplants establish new households in lower-cost locales, storing possessions externally in rental units will only expand as a compelling necessity.

Despite 2020's turbulence, modest rental rates and occupancy losses will prove easy to recover given strong underlying demand drivers.
