Strategic Storage Growth Trust III, Inc. Acquires Class A Self-Storage Facility in Vancouver, British Columbia
This five-level, purpose-built facility offers approximately 52,400 net rentable square feet and features 790 climate-controlled interior units, five drive-up units, and five underground parking stalls. It includes two elevators for convenient customer access and is located in a dense residential area with strong household incomes and projected population growth of approximately 8% over the next five years.
With visibility to roughly 25,000 vehicles per day, the facility is well-positioned to meet demand from both residents and local businesses across Grandview-Woodland, Mount Pleasant, Strathcona, Hastings-Sunrise, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Renfrew-Collingwood, and Riley Park.
Adding to the strength of this acquisition is the City of Vancouver's increasingly restrictive stance on new self-storage development. Recent zoning changes limit the ability to build new facilities, particularly in transit-oriented and industrial zones, making approved, purpose-built assets like this one both rare and highly valuable in the market.
"This facility is a rare find in a highly constrained market and aligns perfectly with our strategy of acquiring well-located, high-quality assets in dense, growing urban areas," said H. Michael Schwartz, CEO of SSGT III. "With Vancouver's tightening development restrictions and strong demographic trends, we believe this property is well-positioned to deliver long-term value."

‘Our community, our words'
Writers from Megaphone's The Shift peer newsroom are speaking out about what it means to see their stories published through the Local Journalism Initiative (LJI). And the impact is profound. Since August 2024, members of The Shift — which is based in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) — have been working with Megaphone's LJI reporter and mentor Amy Romer to expand their journalism skills, continue learning how to report safely and ethically in the DTES community, write and take photos for Megaphone magazine. 'It means a lot to me that it's our community, our words,' says writer Gilles Cyrenne. 'We're putting ourselves out there. It's a contradiction to all the 'gotcha journalism' we see about the DTES, in which there's nothing about the creativity and the soul of the community.' For Nicolas Crier, getting published has been a personal milestone. 'Being published with the pros now… I feel very honoured,' he says. Julie Chapman says the experience writing for the LJI has elevated how she feels about what she does. 'We know we can write, but having other people recognize we can write is really awesome and encouraging,' Chapman says. 'People treat me as a professional rather than someone who writes stuff sometimes.' The Shift's Managing Editor Paula Carlson has watched the newsroom grow in confidence and ability over the last year. 'I can fill this magazine with your stories and your words,' she told The Shift during a recent monthly editorial meeting. 'We never used to be able to do that. I had to hire freelancers.' Yvonne Mark echoes the sense of pride she feels: 'I marvel at the writing that we do together. I'm so proud to be part of this team.' The LJI is funded by the Government of Canada with the aim of creating original civic journalism that covers the diverse needs of under-served communities across the country. The funding is available to eligible Canadian media organizations and the content produced is shared with media outlets across the nation. Megaphone has been a part of LJI for nearly a year — enabling the non-profit media organization to bring award-winning photojournalist Romer on board to mentor The Shift. 'Her support and skills have been invaluable to the ongoing development and growth of The Shift,' says Carlson. 'Thanks to the LJI and Amy, we have been able to move from a publication that relies on outside reporting to fill our pages, to one that is brimming with stories conceived of, reported on and written by our reporters who are based in this community. We have an active, working newsroom in the heart of the Downtown Eastside, with more writers wanting to join. It's incredible and exciting.' Jathinder Singh says she's grateful to be working with Romer and Carlson, saying, 'You make our stories shine.' Adds Richard Young: 'I couldn't do any of this without you, Paula and Amy.' For Louise Boulevin, the work has been a dream realized. 'I'm so thankful to Megaphone. I've dreamed of doing this since I was a child, and here I am.' The Shift is one of the most diverse newsrooms in the country. It is made up of 14 individuals who bring their unique perspectives to the table, informed by their direct experiences with poverty, homelessness, substance use, physical disabilities, mental illness, incarceration, racism and immigration, as well their Indigenous, racialized and 2SLGBTQI+ backgrounds. This makes their reporting on the issues of the DTES particularly insightful, and because they live and work in the community they report on, they are often able to access valuable connections, sources and angles not readily accessible to mainstream media. Reporting done by The Shift includes: 'Scenes from a Decampment,' breaking news coverage of a heavy-handed police and city crackdown that unfolded on the streets of the DTES and barred mainstream reporters from the area; 'From the Inside Out,' a special series on the impacts of climate change on people experiencing poverty; 'Affordable Community Housing — For Whom?', which provided a firsthand look at concerns around the screening practices of a local housing project; 'Love, Labels and Letting Go,' a column about dating with a disability; 'Traditions Rooted in Respect,' a sit-down interview with leaders of Vancouver's three host Indigenous nations; 'The Unassuming Astoria Tent,' a visit to a pop-up and technically under-the-radar grassroots overdose prevention site; and so much more. 'As these storytellers show, community journalism isn't just about local reporting — it's about reclaiming voice, visibility and dignity in a community that's long been misrepresented and overlooked,' Romer says. The Shift is happening — and it's coming from within. Megaphone's The Shift peer newsroom is: Louise Boilevin, Julie Chapman, Nicolas Crier, Gilles Cyrenne, David Deocera, Michael Geilen, Lance Lim, Yvonne Mark, Mike McNeeley, Jathinder Sandhu, Eva Takakenew, Priscillia Mays Tait, James Witwicki and Richard Young.
