From Smartstop Self Storage Reit, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-27)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- We seek to acquire undermanaged facilities that are not operated by institutional operators, where we can implement our proprietary management and technology to maximize net operating income.
- In considering and evaluating potential acquisition opportunities, and to augment our seasoned acquisition team, we employ our proprietary underwriting methodology.
- While we have developed processes and notices that are intended to comply in all material respects with applicable CCPA and CPRA requirements, a regulatory agency may not agree with certain of our implementation decisions, which could subject us to litigation, regulatory actions or changes to our business practices that could increase costs or reduce revenues.
- Joint ventures may also allow us to acquire an interest in a property without requiring that we fund the entire purchase price, but for which we would target being the property manager, both in the U.S. and Canada.
Partnerships
- While we have adopted an Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan which is applicable to each of these officers, we do not have an employment agreement with any of these key personnel and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, will remain employed by us.
- For example, we acquired a joint venture arrangement with SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust, an unaffiliated third party ("SmartCentres"), pursuant to which we and SmartCentres work together to identify primarily self storage development opportunities in certain regions in Canada. 4   Generally, SmartCentres has been responsible for the development of the properties and we have been responsible for the management of the facilities upon completion.
