Strategic initiatives
[edit]In March 2026, SmartStop announced a strategic joint venture with AXCS Capital aimed at providing bridge debt and preferred equity capital to owners and developers of self-storage properties.[1] Reporting by the Los Angeles Times described the partnership as an effort to extend SmartStop’s presence beyond owning and operating facilities into offering capital solutions within the self-storage market and noted that the venture was expected to target projects across North America.[2]
In 2026, a Yahoo Finance article stated that SmartStop had returned to profitability after posting an earlier net loss, attributing the improvement in part to higher occupancy, rental-rate growth and cost controls.[3]
SmartStop continues to grow in Canada with its third party management platform[4]
