Deal activity over the past week reflects evolving investor focus in 2026, with acquisitions spanning high-occupancy core assets, boat and RV storage, and platform-scale portfolio transactions across key growth markets. Sales included a strong performing facility in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where seasonal migration and outdoor recreation continue to support demand, alongside a boat and RV storage asset in Buda, Texas, reflecting the growing importance of parking-oriented formats within the storage sector. The mix of deals also highlights continued interest in value-add opportunities, including a property with roughly 81% occupancy in a supply-constrained market, offering rent upside of up to 19%. Taken together, the transactions highlight how investors are increasingly prioritizing diversified storage offerings that combine traditional units with vehicle capacity and operational upside to capture broader renter demand. Portfolio acquisitions, including a 13-property multi-state deal and an institutional platform purchase, further underscore the sector’s ongoing consolidation across regional markets.
