DESCRIPTION

This product (Self Storage Development – 10 Year Financial Model) is an Excel template (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

Self-storage, also known as mini-storage or personal storage, in real estate refers to facilities designed to provide individuals and businesses with secure, rentable storage spaces to store personal belongings, inventory, or other items. This sector of commercial real estate has grown in popularity due to its flexibility and broad appeal across demographics. Self Storage facilities are composed of individual, lockable storage units of varying sizes (e.g., 5x5 feet to 10x30 feet or larger). Units may be climate-controlled for sensitive items or standard for general storage needs. Outdoor units often have direct vehicle access, while indoor units require entry into a main building.

This financial model provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the viability of self-storage projects, covering everything from initial setup to long-term valuation. With detailed inputs for construction costs and revenue projections, it equips decision-makers with the insights needed to navigate complex investment landscapes effectively.

The model includes calculations and assumptions for the Project Development (Land Assumptions and Construction Costs), Project Timing, Building Metrics, Climated Controlled and Standard Storage Units Assumptions (Drive Up, Indoor, Vehicle), Specialized Storage Units (Wine and documents Storage), Occupancy Rates, Revenue from Storage Rentals, Ancillary Revenue Sources (Advertising, Retail Sales, Insurance Commissions, etc.),  Operating Expenses and CapEx Reserves, Financing through Debt (Construction and Permanent Loan) & Equity and Property Sale Assumptions (Cap Rate, Sale expenses).
