Self Storage: The Strong, Stable REIT Investment

by Jeff Shaw November 29, 2016

The self storage REIT industry is sizzling hot. Last year, when stocks were flat and REITs generated a mere 2.8 percent return on average, self storage REITs returned a whopping 40 percent, far surpassing all other REIT sectors. Occupancy rates at the 51,000 self storage facilities in the United States have grown by 11 percent from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2016. The need for storage facilities continues to increase as Baby Boomers retire and downsize, while millennials flock to rental apartments without garages and basements. In fact, the growth in the inventory of self storage facilities mirrors recent increases in apartment occupancy. Although net absorption of apartments is slowing, self storage REITs remain a solid investment. That’s because the existing inventory of storage facilities is relatively low due to a slowdown of construction during the recession. This lack of sufficient supply prompted Integra Realty Resources to predict record-level prices and continued demand for this strong investment type into 2017. One of the advantages of self storage is that it involves so little capital outlay when compared to other kinds of commercial real estate, such as malls, offices or apartments. Indeed, it requires less capital …
