CubeSmart is a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, operates, and develops self-storage properties across the United States, with a portfolio comprising hundreds of climate-controlled and conventional storage facilities serving residential and commercial customers on month-to-month leases. The company generates revenue primarily from rental income on self-storage units offered at flexible terms with 24-hour access at select locations, supplemented by management fees from third-party owned properties. CubeSmart competes with other public REITs and local operators by emphasizing location, operational quality, security, and customer service in major metropolitan and suburban markets.
