Real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) has published a “Market Trends and Sector Outlook” report on self-storage industry performance for the fourth quarter of 2022. The 16-page PDF examines several metrics, including transaction volume, capitalization rates, rental rates, occupancy and new construction, on a national and regional level. It also contains capital-markets trends and a valuation index across three types of asset classes.

“Key indicators for self-storage remained positive for 2022, despite a deceleration in rent growth and occupancy during the fourth quarter,” the report states. “Not only did market performance remain near record levels attained over the past two years, but self-storage transaction activity remained steady in 2022.”

Though quarterly rental activity fell 2.8% year over year (YoY), development activity remains robust. “Construction starts have continued to see strong growth throughout the year, increasing 7% from the prior quarter and 22% YoY, reaching a 10-year high of 31.6 million square feet under development nationwide,” according to the report.

The report is expected to be released soon for free download from the C&W website.
