Property Developers Invest Confidently with Us
In this video Mark illustrates using the Self Storage Association of Australasia’s latest performance statistics, how Self Storage can aid property developers in smart investment decisions. When we talk to developers about these stats, it’s an incredibly intriguing discussion.
Why Self Storage?
You only have to look at the increase in urban sprawl and reduction in average household lot sizes over the past 15 years to see that storage space is in short supply. We as the operators, get to benefit from this as we strategically place developments near high-growth corridors and high-density living zones. Self Storage provides property developers with:
Long-Term Sustainable Revenue
We know property developers are seeking assets that produce long-term sustainable revenue streams and Self Storage is a fast growing industry service that boasts $310 yield per square metre, per month as an average according to the SSAA industry insights. Making its revenue generation one of the highest performing assets for the space required.
Complimentary Service Easily Implemented
Property developers need assets that fill in as complimentary services surrounding their existing developments. Self storage is an option that is easily implemented and diversifies developments outside of the usual retail and health services.
High Performing Development Asset
Property developers may not know about self storage being a high performing development asset, but the Self Storage Association of Australasia state of the industry data reports that the average facility boasts $310 yield per square metre, per month. Making its revenue generation one of the highest performing assets for the space required.
Low Volatility Asset
Property developers constantly seek ways to diversify their developments outside of standard warehouse space or classic retail services. Self Storage compliments these other assets by delivering property developers a reliable and completely separate revenue stream that is also a very low risk piece to portfolios. For the same warehouse space that would ordinarily fall to a single customer, self storage would provide 500 customers for the same space.
If self storage is an option you would ike to explore for a development, whether it be we buy or manage an asset in your portfolio, let’s start that conversation.
