The “shiny new object” on the self-storage development scene is flex space, which is offered as a less-expensive workspace alternative for business startups and entrepreneurs. But is it a better investment in 2025 than traditional storage units? This is the question tackled by industry owner and author Mark Helm in his recent football-playoff-themed video. In a hypothetical gridiron matchup, he pits the seasoned veteran team against the up-and-coming challenger to determine which option comes out on top. If you’re looking to score big on your next mixed-use project, don’t miss this head-to-head showdown in which Helm draws on his extensive experience to compare construction costs, revenue potential, operating expenses, exit strategies and more to help builders and investors make the winning choice. You’ll have to watch the full game film to learn the victor, but it’s a nail-biter that comes down to the final whistle!
