What our partners say

The Swig Company:

We look at it also as a community benefit. There's a high-rise apartment complex right across the street, there's a residential neighborhood behind us, storage isn't always easy to get to in these kinds of neighborhoods....so we see it as a win-win for everybody." - Cory Kristoff, Executive Vice President of Asset Management and Director of Leasing at The Swig Company

RXR

470 Vanderbilt is minutes away from Manhattan, creating the perfect hub for a self-storage facility in addition to providing a convenient service for our neighbors at 475 Clermont. We are proud to partner with a brand like Stuf who has modernized the storage experience." - William Elder, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of New York City Leasing at RXR

Jamestown

With Stuf Storage, we can activate underutilized space for productive use. It creates a new revenue stream for the property while also providing a new amenity for the community. - Dana Griffin, Director of Asset Management and Development & Construction at Jamestown.

FAQ

How do you know who's accessing the space?

We require all members to provide identify and address verification before providing access. Additionally, we monitor all locations 24/7 through our smart security camera and access control systems. If members are late on payment or do not follow rules / regulations, we immediately revoke access.

What are your members storing?

Our storage units range from 3x3 to 10x10. We determine unit mix based on market demand and competitor performance. This means our members generally store boxes, clothes, seasonal items (skis / golf clubs), documents, and small pieces of furniture.

Will you have on-site staff?

We have field operations team members who oversee our locations in any given market, but we do not have staff on site 24/7.

Do you need 24/7 access?

We generally avoid 24/7 access and adhere to extended building hours.

Do you sign leases or management agreements?

We sign 7-10 year leases and generally secure one or two 5-year extension options. All our leases provide percentage rent to our landlord partners (in lieu of fixed rent) which allows them to participate in the upside of our self storage business.

Do you do any structural work?

Our storage units are made of corrugated sheet metal and metal wiring. The bottom channel is bolted to the floor. No structural work is required. We can be up and running in 1-2 weeks depending on existing conditions. Ramp up sales and move-in users

Who pays for the buildout?

We share the buildout capex with our landlord partners. They receive a higher percentage rent until the TI allowance is paid back; thereafter, it reverts to a more equitable split. All storage operating expenses are paid solely from Stuf's share.

How do you get customers?

We develop custom marketing plans for each new location, which often include: on-site signage, digital marketing (Google ads), digital directories, SEO, email marketing, partnerships (with moving companies or local businesses), local activations, and more.

Who are your customers?

Stuf provides self-storage to the general public within the local neighborhood community, small businesses and existing building residents in need of a valuable tenant amenity.
