Description: CUBE CubeSmart

CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates self-storage properties across the United States. Its facilities offer affordable, easily accessible, and typically climate-controlled storage units serving both residential and commercial customers. According to the 2026 Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart ranks among the top three owners and operators of self-storage properties in the U.S. The company was incorporated in 2004 in Maryland and is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
