In a move reflecting the continued appetite of major REITs for high-quality assets, Public Storage has strengthened its presence in the Texas market. Marcus & Millichap successfully brokered the sale of a self-storage facility in San Antonio to Public Storage, spanning 115,240 square feet. The Class A property features 645 units and maintained a robust occupancy rate of 89% at the time of the acquisition.
This acquisition comes amid intense competition in the self-storage sector, where Public Storage competes with major players like CubeSmart and Extra Space Storage for strategic assets. Per market data, the newly acquired facility was built in 2023, which minimizes future capital expenditure requirements. Analysts note that expanding in high-growth population centers like San Antonio remains a core pillar of the company's long-term growth strategy.
