Harnessing Strategic Partnerships to Succeed in Self-Storage Investments
The Need for Partnerships in Commercial Real Estate
In the fast-paced world of real estate investment, crafting and maintaining strategic relationships can be what sets a business apart from the others. Global Storage Partners, an established firm in acquiring and converting underutilized real estate into prime storage locations, has forged strong partnerships with the top publicly traded self-storage operators - Public Storage, Extra Space Storage, and CubeSmart, collectively known as the "Big Three." These alliances have become instrumental in sourcing projects, executing redevelopment plans, and driving success in this $44.3 billion industry.
Insights from the Big Three and Beyond
Global Storage Partners gains a competitive edge by tapping into the valuable market insights offered by the Big Three, as well as smaller self-storage chains such as StorQuest. Through professional communication, collaborative feedback, and knowledge sharing, our company gains in-depth understanding of local self-storage market conditions and trends. Leveraging the widespread network of self-storage facilities near potential properties to invest in, we gain crucial insights into the demographic profiles and self-storage demand of various locations. Additionally, historical leasing and occupancy data from the Big Three provides insights for assessing the viability of conversion projects. These synergistic relationships also allow Global Storage Partners to distribute its property management needs among the Big Three, relying on their expertise and brand recognition to enable growth for both parties.

The partner's valuable feedback on unit mix and layout informs the project's architectural design, enhancing its market fit and appeal. By leveraging the expertise of the Big Three, Global Storage Partners aligns its unit offerings with market demands, such as technology and environmental considerations, optimizing leasing velocity and rental income.
