The Inside Self-Storage 2023 Top-Operators Lists are a valuable resource for industry investors, developers, owners and suppliers. See vital data on the top 100 facility owners and top 50 third-party management companies ranked by total rentable square footage. Data includes square footage owned and/or managed, number of facilities, number of units, and operating names and locations. Presented in Excel format, the lists also include contact information for key personnel and insight to companies’ expansion plans.

The lists feature data on owned vs. managed self-storage facilities for companies that do both, with breakouts for number of facilities, units and square footage for each. For the sixth consecutive year, ISS presents separate rankings for owned and managed square feet to reduce the potential for square-footage redundancy that can occur when using only total square-footage figures for all companies in a single ranking.

The package also includes a three-page report titled "Inside the Numbers: Trends and Revelations in the 2023 Top-Operators List,” as well as a full presentation of the rankings for the Top 100 Facility Owners and Top 50 Facility-Management Companies in an easy-to-read format. The report portion of the 21-page PDF analyzes growth, decline and general movement among this year's final list participants. It identifies companies in aggressive growth mode, notable portfolio declines, and up-and-comers in the business. It also tracks activity by the industry’s six largest players, putting their numbers in context with each other as well as the larger rankings.

The Top-Operators Lists are suitable for anyone who wants to do business with big industry players. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or investigate existing and potential competition, these lists are for you.

• On the market to sell? Many of the industry’s top operators are looking for acquisition opportunities in the year ahead.
