Now in Explorer: Expanded Coverage of U.S. Multi-Family Housing Developments to Help You Spot Future Self-Storage Demand

StorTrack’s Explorer platform has already been tracking new housing construction to help self-storage professionals anticipate where demand may emerge. Now, we’ve significantly expanded that coverage—Explorer now features both Single Family and Multi-Family Housing Developments across the U.S., available to all Basic and Unlimited subscribers.

This update includes more than 29,000 multi-family developments and 8,200 single-family communities nationwide—giving users a clearer picture of where residential growth is occurring and what it means for storage demand.

When you hover over any of these developments on the map, you’ll see key available details, including:

  • Estimated number of homes or units
  • Price range
  • Builder and developer information
  • Type of housing (e.g., apartments, townhomes, multi-family or single-family)
  • Development status
Why It Matters

Multi-family developments are a major demand driver for self-storage—more so than ever in today’s environment of sluggish home sales, tighter living spaces, and rising population density. Renters in large apartment communities often face storage constraints, creating a consistent need for off-site storage solutions.

By showing what’s being built and where, this expanded data gives self-storage developers and investors a clear edge: the ability to align site selection and planning with residential growth trends at a highly local level.
