STRONG EXISTING CASH FLOW WITH UPSIDE
Pennsauken Self Storage is nearly 91% physically occupied and is approaching economic stabilization, so the property has growth potential in addition to its already strong in-place cash flow. The area surrounding the property lacks sufficient suppl, so a potential buyer has the ability to continue adding value to the property through the optimization of rental rates. With no self storage developments currently under construction, the area will continue to see a massive demand for self storage space further increasing market rental rates.
PROXIMITY TO PHILADELPHIA MSA
Pennsauken Self Storage is located in southern Pennsauken Township, less than five miles from the heart of downtown Philadelphia. The property sits on the southeast side of the intersection of multiple state highways that provide immediate access to the surrounding suburbs of Philadelphia.
EXTREMELY UNDERSERVED MARKET IN A DENSE AREA
The area within a three-mile radius of Pennsauken Self Storage contains only 1.63 square feet of storage space per person, which is well below what is typically found in dense, urban areas. With over 154,000 people living in a three-mile radius of the property, there is a clear need for storage – illustrated by the property’s rental rates and current occupancy.
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 performance through Q2 2023.
