Investment Highlights

CASH FLOW UPSIDE

The property currently has low occupancy due to water damage to a high portion of the facility's units. This allows a potential buyer to create large cash flow upside through minimal repair and renovation. The property's occupancy history before the downed units illustrates the market's strong need for self storage, and points to the likelihood the property easily re-leases. A potential buyer can then add value to the property through rental rate optimization throughout the lease-up process.


LONG HISTORY OF HIGH OCCUPANCY AND STRONG PERFORMANCE

Before the property's flood damage, the facility held high occupancy. Even though the property is very large for a self storage facility, the property remained stabilized and was a big driver of market rents. After repairs, the property will restabilize and return to its strong performance due to the high population, over 125K people within a 3-mile radius, and low supply.


IRREPLACEABLE LOCATION WITH LOW STORAGE SUPPLY

The area within a 3-mile radius of Cherry Avenue Self Storage contains less than 3 square feet of storage space per person, which is extremely underserved in a dense area. At 2.46 square feet of storage per person, the lack of supply and no upcoming development bodes well for both future rent and occupancy growth at the property.


RESILIENT ASSET CLASS

Self Storage as an asset class has historically performed very well during economic downturns. Self storage was the only REIT sector to post a positive total return during the Great Financial Crisis as rental rates stayed effectively flat while withstanding the economic turbulence. More recently, self storage REITs were the best performing REITs by asset class during the COVID pandemic, and the asset class has continued its strong, positive trends through Q2 2022.
