Sales of self-storage properties in the U.S. hit $10 billion in 2022 – outstripping prior years, with the exception of 2021, when a single $3 billion sale in New York pushed the year's total to $12.3 billion. Nationally, transactions involving 73.4 million square feet of space were completed in 2022, and the sector is drawing close attention from REITs and other investors.
