About Public Storage

Public Storage is a leading self-storage real estate operator in the United States and is listed on the NYSE under ticker PSA. Over nearly half a century, the company has built a dominant position in an industry that remains highly fragmented. Its business model is centered on owning, operating, and developing self-storage facilities, with additional value creation coming from facility expansions, redevelopment, and selective acquisitions. The company describes itself as the world’s largest owner of self-storage facilities, a scale advantage that supports brand recognition, operating leverage, and a broad competitive footprint. ([publicstorage.com](https://www.publicstorage.com/our-story/our-story.html?utm_source=openai)) Founded in the 1970s, Public Storage is headquartered in the United States. Recent corporate disclosures indicate a headquarters in Frisco, Texas, while also referencing a long-standing presence in Glendale, California; in 2026 the company announced it would relocate its corporate headquarters to North Dallas (Frisco) as part of a broader leadership and strategic transition. This move underscores management’s intent to tap into a larger talent pool and strengthen the company’s operating platform while maintaining its U.S. base. Public Storage’s core portfolio is overwhelmingly domestic, with properties spread across 40 U.S. states.

Typical use cases include moving, seasonal storage, business inventory, and records archiving. The company also owns a 35% equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage Limited, which operates facilities in Western Europe under the Shurgard brand, adding a meaningful international component to an otherwise U.S.-centric platform.

In a highly fragmented sector, this scale can improve pricing power, support digital customer acquisition, and make accretive consolidation easier to execute. The company’s leadership recently introduced PS4.0, a new strategic framework aimed at improving the customer and employee experience, expanding margins, and enhancing long-term shareholder returns.

Public Storage also announced plans in 2026 to acquire National Storage Affiliates in an all-stock transaction, a move that would further strengthen its position as a consolidator in the self-storage industry. These developments matter for investors because they signal both strategic continuity and an active capital allocation posture in the United States market.
