Why is so much self-storage being built in Texas?
Rapid in-migration, household formation and a churn of moves keep Texas self-storage demand high, while relatively low land and construction costs make new facilities easy to underwrite. The pipeline is visible in the permit record — the 39 active self-storage projects Zabalist tracks represent roughly $224M of in-flight construction, concentrated in the growth suburbs of DFW, Austin and Houston.
