    Is anyone out there currently converting an existing structure into self-storage? If so, I would love to hear about it. I have always enjoyed sharing ideas on the topic.

    Hey Chris, I have a question. If you were purchasing a facility that was a conversion what are the main things you would look at?

    Jeanne,
    Great question.

    I would primarily look for a few key factors-

    Location/Visibility
    Gross Sq ft over 40,000 (preferably larger)
    Entitlement/Zoning
    CAPEX

    Every conversion is different, and it's like putting a puzzle together.

    Devon is doing multiple conversions currently. Looking at old Kmarts, Sams Clubs, Sears, etc.
