Store Space Tops ISS's 'Square-Footage Milestones' List for Top Owners

WINTER GARDEN, Fla., Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Store Space Self Storage topped Inside Self Storage's 2021 Notable Increases in Facility Owners list with an 180% increase in total square footage.

"This is an amazing milestone to highlight our growth in just three years," said Rob Consalvo, Store Space COO and President. "By leveraging our partnerships with institutional investors and continuing to provide excellence in our third-party management program, our plans for the coming year could see us double or triple our square footage in 2022."

The rankings, published the first week in August, are part of Inside Self Storage's 2021 Top-Operators List. Store Space increased its overall footprint to 5.7 million sq. ft. and 69 facilities, up from 2 million sq. ft. and 29 facilities in 2020. The Company was highlighted in the report's Square-Footage Milestones section.

"Our strategy since day one has been acquisition of assets in rapid-growth markets to expand our portfolio," Consalvo said. "We've specifically targeted areas with less institutional ownership and lower supply to maximize our growth opportunities."

Store Space also jumped up to 23^rd from 49^th in the Top 100 Facility Owners list. ISS's annual report ranks the industry's top 100 facility owners and top 50 third-party management companies.

"Our performance, especially during the pandemic, highlights our ability to surpass the REITs in terms of lease-up and year-over-year performance," said Michael Baillargeon, Store Space's Senior Vice President, Operations. "We combine our technology platform and operational expertise to drive occupancy and push rates appropriate to the market."
