Storco to Release New “Getting Started in Self Storage” Guide for Developers
Breaking into self-storage isn’t as simple as converting an empty building or adding shipping containers to a spare block of land. Even experienced commercial property developers quickly discover that self-storage comes with its own economics, demand drivers, and operational quirks.
To help bridge that knowledge gap, Storco has announced a new Getting Started in Self Storage ebook, designed specifically for developers & entrepreneurs exploring the sector for the first time.
Set to launch in the new year, the guide walks through several core foundations of self-storage development, including:
- Where to develop and what makes a location viable
- Demand drivers unique to self-storage markets
- Operational considerations, such as optimal layout configuration
- Typical development timelines, from concept to ribbon cutting
The highly requested resource is set to be a must-have tool for new entrants to the industry.
Insights from the Storco Team
Storco has shared that the guide was shaped by the questions they receive most often from those entering the sector for the first time, and with 40 years of experience as well as wider industry experience, the team wants to elevate the first-engagement process.
The storage eco-system is evolving year on year – attracting more third-party interest than ever before – we recognised the need for a repository of information, for those interested in the asset class. We’re excited to launch this first edition in the coming months; however, stay tuned as the second print will have a number of supporting pieces from those supporting the ecosystem.
