The market · nationwide

Self storage’s inflection point.

A new golden age of self storage wealth creation is beginning. Operators, not developers, will define the next decade.

Annual new self-storage supply Nationwide · facilities

New buildExpansion

2026 onward projected

Non-overdeveloped markets

Operators can push revenue without new competition diluting demand.

Heavily built markets

Natural demand is catching up. Absorption is outpacing new deliveries for the first time in years.

20%+

Value premium

Regional portfolios attract institutional buyers at compressed cap rates. Selling at a 5% cap vs. a 6% cap is a 20% difference. The long game: an 8–10 year exit at scale.

Demand drivers

  • Republic has become a powerhouse logistics and manufacturing corridor, anchored by a new Amazon fulfillment center.
  • The MSA is insulated from single-industry risk: a healthcare hub, and HQs for O’Reilly Auto Parts (Fortune 500), Bass Pro Shops, Jack Henry & Associates and Forvis Mazars (8th largest U.S. CPA firm).
  • A central U.S. location anchors industrial giants like Prime Inc., 3M, Kraft Heinz and John Deere Remanufacturing.
  • Missouri State, Drury and Evangel bring 40,000+ students: a steady pipeline of talent, renters and consumers.
  • Net absorption outpaces completions; market-wide occupancy near 95%, top-tier nationally for rent growth and stabilization.

Quality of life

  • Cost of living well below the national average; suburban renting and homeownership at a fraction of Dallas, KC or St. Louis pricing.
  • Nixa and Ozark Public Schools are perennial state heavyweights, magnets for young families planting roots.
  • “Gateway to the Ozarks”: James River, Table Rock Lake, Lake Taneycomo, hundreds of miles of trails, plus Bass Pro National HQ and Wonders of Wildlife drawing millions of annual visitors.

The business plan

Three moves to stabilized.

Occupancy up, rate up, expenses down. Operational value, not market timing: the NOI grows by $1.87M over 60 months.

S. Scenic Ave. — facility
01

Add ancillary revenue

Implement additional ancillary revenue sources, increasing topline revenue by ~$70k per year, immediately.

02

Fill the spaces

Increase occupancy from 79.1% to ~88%, stabilizing in Year 3.

E. Farm Rd. 94 — facility
03

Grow in-place revenue

From $0.669 to $0.956 per SF per month through calculated ECRIs (existing customer rate increases) over the hold.

The results

  • EGI (effective gross income) grows from $4.66M in Year 1 to $6.87M by Year 5.
  • OpEx driven down to a healthy ratio through refined operations and our technology stack: ~38% today to ~30%.
+$32.6M

In value created

NOI grows by $1.87M over 60 months, capitalized at a 5.75% exit cap.

The operator

What “the operator” actually means.

Journey sources, acquires, operates, markets and reports on its own assets. There is no third-party manager between you and the building — the team that underwrote SGF11 is the team that will run it.

Every function in-house

Acquisitions, construction management, revenue and marketing, smart-entry technology, collections and investor reporting all sit with the same team, under the JOURNEY.STORAGE™ brand. Nothing is handed to a third-party manager, so nothing is anyone else’s priority.

Underwritten to a spread, proven through lease-up

The portfolio averages an 11.7% yield on cost against a 6.2% exit cap — roughly 550 basis points created before any market movement. Occupancy across the portfolio has moved from 16.6% to 83.7%, including assets taken on with no tenants at all, so a new building is familiar ground rather than a first attempt.
