2025 Top Operators
Masters Of
Storage
The 2025 Top Operators
By Erica Shatzer
D

espite economic uncertainty from tariffs and inflation, as well as higher mortgage rates that kept many people from buying new homes, self-storage operators seemed to sail through 2025 with ease. In fact, portfolio growth was reported by many of this year’s top 100 operators.

At No. 1 for the third year in a row is Extra Space Storage, which expanded its portfolio by nearly 30 million net rentable square feet (NRSF) over the past 12 months; that’s an addition of three times as much NRSF than the approximately 10 million NRSF added from 2023 to 2024. On top of that astonishing growth, this year the REIT has reported that it manages roughly 17 million NRSF more than it owns.

Like 2024, Public Storage, the second-largest operator, grew its portfolio by another approximately 11 million NRSF. Although about half of that amount (approximately 5 million NRSF) was added to the management side of its portfolio, Extra Space Storage still manages five times as much net rentable square feet in the United States than Public Storage.

Once again claiming third place is CubeSmart, which manages almost 2 million more NRSF than it owns. And with approximately 53.2 million NRSF of storage managed, roughly 20 million more than Public Storage, CubeSmart has the second-largest third-party management portfolio in the self-storage industry. Storage Asset Management (SAM), ranked No. 6, has the third-largest third-party management portfolio at 37,620,000 net rentable square feet.

Rounding out the top five are U-Haul International (No. 4) and National Storage Affiliates Trust (No. 5). Their ranks remain unchanged from 2024, even though they each added about 1 million NRSF to their portfolios since the last Top Operators list was published.

After SAM comes SmartStop Self Storage in 7th place—a climb of four places since ranking No. 11 in 2024. SmartStop’s quick growth can be attributed to it becoming a publicly traded company in 2025. Its initial public offering (IPO) was completed in April, listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Four months later, SmartStop Self Storage REIT was added to the Morgan Stanley Capital International U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust (MSCI US REIT) Index. Then, after MSM’s 2025 Top Operators survey had ended, SmartStop acquired Argus Professional Storage Management (APSM) in a deal that closed on October 1st. APSM is ranked No. 16 this year, dropping six spots from 2024.

Ranking No. 8 is The William Warren Group, which operates facilities under the StorQuest brand; it ranked 13th last year. In nineth is Storage Rentals of America (SROA), an operator that wasn’t listed in the 2024 list but has been ranked in previous years. It owns and operates nearly 32 million NRSF from 683 facilities across the United States, 12 in England, and three in Scotland. Other high-ranking newcomers to the 2025 list include White Label Storage at No. 13, City Line Capital at No. 15, and Absolute Storage Management at No. 25.

Finally, due to the addition of SROA and upward movement from The William Warren Group and SmartStop, as well as a slight decline in portfolio size, StorageMart has dropped from seventh to tenth.

In total, 27 companies on the 2025 list were not ranked on 2024 list. Some of these companies have been ranked in previous lists, but consolidation has (and will continue) to make way for new entrants, such as No. 26 StoragePRO’s acquisition of Storage Investment Management, Inc. (SIMI) in January.

On the following pages, we present the 2025 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 grand totals but not listed within the table; that data can be found in MSM’s Top Operators kit.

We would like to extend our congratulations to all the top operators for their ability to navigate choppy waters and the tides of uncertainty. Their fortitude and flexibility are certainly worthy of admiration and applause!

Erica Shatzer is the editor of MSM.

    Expansion plans: 10 Federal has completed fundraising for its fourth fund, 10FSSAC4, successfully raising $115 million in equity. This fund supports both new acquisitions and expansion projects across its portfolio. To complement this, the company secured a $100 million credit facility with First Horizon Bank, helping fund over $25 million in planned expansions. Recent activity includes the acquisition of a three-property portfolio in Keller, Texas, totaling 177,353 NRSF, along with large-scale expansions in Magnolia and Montgomery, Texas, adding more than 100,000 square feet and 650 new units now in lease-up. Additionally, the company will continue to onboard new third-party management relationships across the country, with the latest additions including properties in Virginia, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. 10 Federal also continues to grow through development, with four Class-A, multistory, climate-controlled projects underway in high-growth markets including Austin, Savannah, Charlotte, and suburban Atlanta. The first delivery is expected in Q4 2025. In Q1 2025, 10 Federal launched its fifth fund, 10FSSAC5, with a target of $150 million in equity commitments. Fundraising will continue over the next 12 months as it looks to expand further.
