Despite severe economic distress caused by the global health crisis, the self storage sector continued to hold steady in August. Over the past 12 months, street-rate rents declined 0.9 percent for the average 10×10 non-climate-controlled and 3 percent for climate-controlled units of similar size. On a month-over-month basis, national rates grew 0.9 percent for the standard 10×10 non-climate-controlled and 0.8 percent for climate-controlled units of the same size. All the top markets saw positive or flat rent performance month-over-month.

San Jose was one of the best-performing markets, as month-over-month rent growth reached 4.9 percent for the average 10×10 climate-controlled units. Asking rents in the metro rose $8 to $171 an amount last registered before the pandemic, in January. When it comes to the standard 10×10 non-climate-controlled units, Miami saw the largest rent increase, up 3.9 percent over the previous month.

Nationwide, projects under construction or in the planning stages accounted for 8.8 percent of existing inventory, up 20 basis points over July. The coronavirus outbreak, however, seems to be putting pressure on development activity in the sector. Some 33 projects were abandoned in August, signaling that developers are facing uncertainty when it comes to investing in new facilities. Nonetheless, a slowdown in development activity could be a step towards restoring equilibrium in the storage sector.
