Description: NSA National Storage Affiliates November 06, 2025
National Storage Affiliates Trust (NYSE: NSA) is a publicly traded REIT headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado that owns, operates, and acquires self-storage facilities. As of June 30 2025 the portfolio comprised 1,067 properties across 37 states and Puerto Rico, representing roughly 69.7 million rentable square feet (excluding two assets sold in July 2025). This scale makes NSA one of the largest self-storage owners and operators in the United States.
Key performance indicators from the most recent filings show an occupancy rate of 96 percent in 2024, an average rental rate of about $1.45 per square foot, and a 2024 adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) of $1.03 per share, reflecting a 7 percent year-over-year increase driven by strong demand and disciplined pricing.
The self-storage sector is currently buoyed by two macro trends: (1) continued e-commerce growth and residential downsizing, which lift demand for short-term storage, and (2) a relatively low-interest-rate environment that supports REIT financing costs. However, rising construction material prices could pressure new-development margins, making acquisition of existing high-occupancy assets-NSA’s core strategy-a relative advantage.
