2024 Top Operators
Storage Champions
The 2024 Top Operators
By Erica Shatzer
A

t first glance, MSM’s 2024 Top Operators list looks a lot like last year’s. Although many transactions transpired throughout the past 12 months, the top nine operators are the same.

At No. 1 for a second year is Extra Space Storage, which added more than 10 million net rentable square feet (NRSF) to its portfolio since the 2023 survey was completed. After its monumental acquisition of Life Storage, the REIT may be redirecting its focus to its third-party management platform, as Extra Space reportedly added approximately 45 million NRSF to that segment of its portfolio and reduced its facility ownership by more than 30 million NRSF.

Public Storage, the second-largest operator, also expanded its portfolio by approximately 10 million NRSF. Those gains were counted in the “Facilities Managed” figures. Since 2023, Public Storage has increased its third-party management portfolio from 19 million NRSF to about 28.6 million NRSF. Nevertheless, it still trails CubeSmart’s management portfolio by more than 20 million NRSF. Third-party management now accounts for more than half of CubeSmart’s total net rentable square footage.

CubeSmart, which is ranked third, grew its portfolio by nearly 10 million NRSF too. That expansion helped the REIT surpass the 100 million NRSF mark, from approximately 92 million in 2023 to 101.8 million this year.

Then there’s U-Haul. Its portfolio grew by about 3 million NRSF, so it kept the No. 4 spot. One oddity in the top five was National Storage Affiliates Trust (NSA); it reported a decrease of 13 million net rentable square feet from 2023 to 2024 but still ranked fifth.

The remainder of the top 10 was unchanged, except for the No. 10 slot, which Argus Professional Storage Management LLC claimed after moving up one from 11th in 2023. StorQuest has dropped three ranks to 13.

Other noteworthy moves include Trojan Storage’s ascension from 41 to 22, Atomic Storage Group’s rise from 47 to 30, StorSafe Self Storage Management, LLC’s climb from 80 to 63, and National Self Storage’s giant leap from 93 to 64. Alternatively, some surprising slides include Store Space’s drop from 20 to 37, The Jenkins Organization’s fall from 12 to 38, and Space Shop Self Storage’s dip from 25 to 39. All in all, these fluctuations are proof that the self-storage market is far from stagnant. While there weren’t any massive mergers in 2024, there were still plenty of deals being done.

As for the rest of the 2024 top operators, 23 companies were not ranked on the 2023 list. However, a handful of those have been ranked in previous lists, such as Derrel’s Mini Storage (No. 14), a popular regional operator in California; Storelocal Storage (No. 29), a brand established by the StoreLocal co-op; and Andover Properties LLC (No. 15), which operates facilities under the name StorageKing USA. These three companies’ high rankings, as well as the REITs’ enlarged management numbers, may have brought a shift to light: It appears that more and more independent operators are relying on a recognizable brand to remain relevant in increasingly competitive markets.

On another note, you may notice that the 2024 list has a total of 101 operators. This is due to a tie for 49th place between Cubix Asset Management and Platinum Storage Group. Both operators reported a total of 3.5 million net rentable square feet of storage space.

On the following pages, we present the 2024 Top Operators. As in the past, the list is compiled solely from information submitted in MSM’s annual Top Operators Survey and ranked by total net rentable square feet. Please note: Self-storage facilities that are owned and managed by the same company are only tallied in the “Facilities Owned” section of the table. International facilities are included in the “Facilities Owned” section as well.

We would like to extend our congratulations to all the top operators for their ability to adapt and reach new heights despite adversity. Their fortitude and flexibility are certainly worthy of admiration and applause!
