A new report from Yardi Matrix<\/a> illustrates how the self storage industry\u2019s performance mirrors employment growth and population gains.<\/p>\n

Development activity for self storage space is highest in metros such as Portland, Ore., Nashville, Tenn., Seattle and Orlando, Fla., where corporate expansions and relocations, alo\"man-using-self-storge-software-solutions\"ng with college student enrollment and multifamily development, are driving demand. Nationwide, units under construction and in the planning stages account for 9.4% of inventory.<\/p>\n

The report also documents strong development activity in Boston and New York City, which are historically undersupplied markets.<\/p>\n
