Most self storage developers think about unit mix. But the bigger question is whether it gets the depth of analysis that its impact on performance actually warrants.
The wrong distribution of unit sizes can mean slower lease-up, uneven occupancy, and revenue left on the table — and those gaps rarely show up during design. They tend to surface after opening, when corrections are costly.
We broke down what drives smart unit mix decisions, including why a feasibility study should come first, in our latest blog post:

Discover how self storage unit mix impacts occupancy and revenue and how to optimize your facility's layout for long-term profitability.

Another standout project completed by MakoRabco.

This impressive three-story Trojan Storage facility in Arleta, California, totaling 168,040 sq. ft., is scheduled to open June 3rd. Sold by MakoRabco Executive Vice President Angie Guerin and built for our partners at DAI General Contracting, the project showcases the kind of collaboration and craftsmanship it takes to deliver a modern self-storage facility at scale.

One of the most striking features of the facility is the exterior wall design, featuring a clean, modern panel aesthetic that gives the building a bold architectural presence while elevating the overall look of the property.

We’re proud to have played a part in bringing another exceptional facility to life and appreciate everyone who helped make this project a success.
