Storage builders turn to bridge loans as new supply crests
September 26, 2018 – SpareFoot Storage Beat
The self-storage building boom appears to have reached an impressive financial milestone. Talonvest Capital Inc., the California self-storage financial adviser and mortgage broker, reports that lenders are now offering extremely attractive bridge loan deals to developers who want to get out of their original construction loans earlier than anticipated. Traditionally, bridge loans have loan-to-cost ratios of about 75 percent to 80 percent, meaning lenders will let developers borrow up to that percentage amount of the total cost of constructing and opening new self-storage facilities. Bridge loans are typically temporary financial tools that developers use until they can negotiate permanent post-construction loans. With a record level of new deliveries coming to market, some merchant builders are left operating facilities longer than expected while they market their facility. View Full Story.

Is self-storage boom too much of a good thing for lenders?
June 20, 2018 – American Banker
The storage wars are on in the real estate world, as is the debate about whether banks will emerge victorious or with wounded loan books. Commercial loan demand has been in a prolonged holding pattern, so any loan category with vibrant growth characteristics was bound to attract bankers. Lately that category has been financing self-storage facilities, as many Americans shift from single-family homes to apartments but are still carrying as much stuff as they always have. The economics of the self-storage industry are attractive. After initial construction costs, self-storage facilities require little overhead. Customers rarely move out if rent increases. And a self-storage business can be structured as a real estate investment trust, providing the owner with tax benefits. No wonder bankers have rushed in to make loans for self-storage construction.
