Cushman & Wakefield has released the results of its 2010 Self-Storage Investor Survey in a report titled "Resilient Asset Class Gains Traction." The valuation and advisory publication expands on results found in reports such as the Korpacz Investor Survey, published earlier this year by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The CW report includes market optimism, marketing time, absorption time and other elements that characterize current self-storage market conditions.

The results of the survey, completed this past summer by more than 50 respondents in investment, brokerage and other related industries, show increased optimism for the asset class and slightly lower cap and yield rates. Marketing times are declining and absorption times improving. The report includes a detailed chart and summary of the key findings.
