Utilizing Self Storage services gives you room to store belongings leaving you with the extra space you may require for business or personal use. As the Mini Storage Building Industry has evolved with technology so has its range of services, which can be utilized by business owners to help them operate more cost-effectively.

For the retailer, storing large boxes of items at self-storage facility could prove to be very cost effective. By displaying only one of each item and keeping only a limited number of items on hand, you can actually display more overall items without the need for an onsite storeroom. A quick trip to your local storage unit a few times a week would keep supplies replenished and give you the extra room required to market your in store items more effectively.

Mini Storage Feasibility Studies… To Build or Not to Build!

May 5, 2011

Mini Storage Feasibility Studies

In the beginning of self-storage there was little competition, land values were low and zoning ordinances were more flexible. Self-storage complexes were poorly planned with no thought to layout, unit mix or future expansion. Without a thorough feasibility study, costly “surprises” and construction challenges turned many “can’t loose” ventures into losing propositions.

Today’s savvy investor understands that a feasibility study can make the difference between success and failure. Below you will find an outline of what is included in a typical feasibility study. If you would like more information about having one conducted for your project call us at (800) 292-0111.

The main goals of a feasibility study are to determine whether a particular project makes sense or not. Should you build or not? If the project is a go, the study will provide valuable information that you will use to make decisions on square footage, what types and sizes of buildings you should erect, and a myriad of other considerations that go into developing a successful project.

A typical feasibility study may include some or all of the following information:

  • Detailed analysis of your competition
  • Consumer Demand Analysis
  • Rental Projections
  • Recommended Unit Mix
  • Profit Projections
  • Demographics
  • Characteristics of a Successful Location
  • Management Plan/Overview
  • Analysis of the location of your land
  • Security Considerations
  • Building Construction Suggestions
  • Customer Considerations Related to Appearance
  • Visibility of the Facility
  • Traffic Count
  • Accessibility
  • Assessment of Yellow Page advertising
  • Climate Control Issues
  • Pricing Research and Strategy

WHAT CAN YOU PAY FOR THE LAND? THE 66% RULE

Average the rate you receive for a 10×10 and a 10×15 storage unit. Multiply that number by .66. The result is the most you can pay (per square foot) for the ground. This is a rule of thumb that is very important for determining the cost of the land.

EXAMPLE

10×10 rent $85 per month $85 x 12mos= $1020.00
divided by 100 sq. ft.= $ 10.20
10×15 rent $98 per month $98x 12mos= $1176.00
divided by 150 sq. ft.= 7.84
AVERAGE= $ 9.02
x .66
_________
PRICE FOR GROSS SQ. FT. OF LAND $ 5.95
