OUR APPROACH

Why YourSpace America

Information sharing between development and acquisition teams helps identify both underserved locations for new development and attractive markets for below-replacement-cost acquisitions.

πŸ›οΈ

Institutionally Minded

YourSpace America was founded to deliver institutional investors outsized returns in the fragmented self-storage industry without sacrificing the quality of partnership.

πŸ“Š

Proprietary Underwriting

YSA’s disciplined underwriting allows for greater insight into future asset performance, delivering outsized risk-adjusted returns to our investment partners.

🀝

Industry Relationships

YSA maintains close relationships with Public Storage and CubeSmart management, ARCO/Murray, and institutional capital partners β€” enabling repeat business and preferred access.

β€” TAX ADVANTAGES

The New & Improved OZ 2.0 Program

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act permanently extended and significantly enhanced the Opportunity Zone program. YourSpace America is among the first developers offering investments timed for OZ 2.0 β€” the most investor-friendly version of the program ever created.

OZ 2.0 β€” BEGINS JAN 2, 2027 β˜… RECOMMENDED

The New & Permanent Opportunity Zone Program

The OBBBA (signed July 4, 2025) permanently extended the Opportunity Zone program with a dramatically improved structure beginning January 2, 2027. No fixed deadline β€” a rolling 5-year deferral from each investment date.

OZ 1.0 β€” BACKGROUND (EXPIRES DEC 31, 2026)

The Original Opportunity Zone Program

Created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. If you have gains to deploy before December 31, 2026, YSA projects currently under construction are timed to accept OZ 1.0 investments.

β€” PROPERTY MANAGERS

Managed by the Best β€” Public Storage & CubeSmart

YourSpace America owns every facility outright β€” no triple-net leases, no shared ownership. Public Storage and CubeSmart operate as third-party managers under fee agreements, bringing the industry’s most powerful platforms to YSA properties. All equity and appreciation remain with YSA investors.

THIRD-PARTY MANAGER

#1 Largest Self-Storage Company in the U.S.

Public Storage is the world’s largest self-storage company. Their third-party management platform brings unmatched brand recognition, a sophisticated revenue management system, and the industry’s lowest management fee directly to YSA-owned facilities.

THIRD-PARTY MANAGER

#3 Largest Self-Storage Company in the U.S.

CubeSmart’s third-party management platform operates across nearly 1,000 facilities nationwide. Their award-winning WOW! customer service culture, multi-million-dollar marketing infrastructure, and dedicated relationship model maximize every YSA property.

YSA Owns. The Best in the Business Operates.

YourSpace America retains full ownership of every facility. Public Storage and CubeSmart are engaged as third-party managers under fee-based management agreements β€” not as tenants, partners, or leaseholders. All property appreciation, equity growth, and long-term value belong entirely to YSA and its investors. You get the operational firepower of the two biggest names in the industry without surrendering any ownership stake or upside.

β€” GENERAL CONTRACTOR

Built by ARCO/Murray

YourSpace America builds exclusively with ARCO/Murray National Construction β€” one of the most respected design-build general contractors in the United States with over 32 years of experience, 6,000+ completed projects, and a 75% repeat customer rate.

ARCO/Murray’s proven design-build process means integrated design and construction management from concept through completion β€” eliminating the costly gaps that occur when architects and contractors work separately. For Opportunity Zone investments, execution certainty is paramount.

β€” ASSET CLASS

Why Self Storage

Self-storage is the #1 performing REIT property type over 31 years β€” and YSA’s Generation V facilities set the standard within the sector.

πŸ’°

Consistent Cash Flow

No leasing costs, no tenant improvements, minimal capex, and a diverse month-to-month rent roll deliver consistent and predictable cash flow that outperforms most asset classes.

πŸ“ˆ

High Operating Margins

High operating margins with minimal expenses provide excellent risk-adjusted returns. Self-storage consistently outperforms office, retail, and multifamily on a per-dollar basis.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Inflation Protected

Diversified rent rolls and month-to-month leases make self-storage a top inflation hedge. Rents can be adjusted rapidly in response to market conditions.

πŸ—οΈ

Recession Resilient

Self-storage has been a top performer in every major downturn β€” including the 2020 pandemic and the 2007–09 financial crisis β€” driven by life-event demand that is largely counter-cyclical.

πŸ™οΈ

Consolidation Opportunity

45% of U.S. self-storage market share consists of institutional-quality assets not owned by a REIT β€” representing a massive ongoing consolidation opportunity for institutional investors.

πŸš€

Strong Demand Trends

Consistent per-capita utilization growth and outsized demand from younger generations continue to drive industry demand well beyond population growth alone.
