JLL Self Storage Capital Markets

JLL Self Storage Capital Markets is the storage-focused team inside JLL, a commercial real estate and investment management firm that works with owners, tenants and investors in local, national and global markets. Its brokerage and financing work sits within JLL's wider capital markets business.

JLL describes its service range as strategy, advice and operational support covering investing and leasing through to facilities management and construction, delivered from local offices. Enquiries on the public site route through a contact form or a local office rather than a named storage desk.

The firm reports more than 310 corporate offices in over 80 countries and more than 113,000 employees, work with 95% of top global investors and half of the Fortune 500 at a 99% retention rate, and $425 million invested in proptech startups. It also runs a proprietary commercial real estate AI platform, JLL Falcon, and publishes research including the Global Real Estate Transparency Index.

The pages JLL publishes on its main site are firm-wide rather than storage-specific: they name no self-storage team, no storage transaction record and no direct phone number. An owner taking a facility or portfolio to market should ask which office covers the market, who leads self-storage there, and what the fee arrangement would be, before signing a listing agreement.

Best for
