Underwriting & analysis
TractIQ
TractIQ sells self-storage market data. One subscription covers prospecting, underwriting and benchmarking: rate comps, occupancy, supply and demand drivers, owner records and a pipeline of facilities under development, assembled for investors, brokers and operators.
The data set is built facility by facility. TractIQ tracks about 68,000 active self-storage sites and roughly 5,000 under development, unit-level pricing on more than 30,000 facilities broken out by floor, climate control and unit type, and web and street rate history reaching back to 2018. Verified occupancy and line-by-line financials - revenue, expenses, NOI and margin - come from CMBS filings covering more than 4,000 facilities and have been updated monthly since 2017. Demand indicators include demographics, 79,000+ housing starts and 318,000+ commercial construction projects.
Alongside the data there is a marketplace of storage listings posted by brokerages, which ties each deal to the occupancy, rates and supply of its trade area, and a buy-box match that surfaces new listings. Owner-of-record names, mailing addresses and direct contacts support off-market outreach. Exports, AI queries and API calls are metered per user and per account.
The company was founded in 2021 and changed ownership in 2024, and says it is the official data provider for the Self Storage Almanac. Two figures on the site disagree on the size of the owner file: the FAQ says 35,000+ owner names and contact details, the home page says 40,000+ facilities with owner contacts. Confirm which tier carries the verified financials for your markets, and what the export and API limits mean for your workflow.
