Storage managers
Devon Self Storage
Devon Self Storage owns, develops and operates self-storage facilities and manages them for third-party owners. Its facilities offer climate-controlled, drive-up, vehicle and RV, boat, business, student and military storage on month-to-month leases, with online rental and payment and video surveillance.
The third-party management platform gives owners a dedicated relationship manager, an owner portal with data analytics, revenue management with dynamic pricing and existing-customer rate increases, digital marketing, in-house construction management and consulting, institutional financial reporting and account management, and remote management options. Onboarding is described in three steps: contact the team, review goals, then scale from marketing services alone to full management of daily operations.
The company says it was founded in 1988, is now a member of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, and has owned, managed or developed more than 350 self-storage facilities in 32 states and three European countries. Inland and Devon are both headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, and the site says Devon has been collecting operating data across its properties for over 35 years.
