Excited to share that Redamo Suites was featured in the latest UNO Real Estate Market Analysis. It’s always encouraging to see the vision validated from redevelopment to stabilization, with continued growth driven by medical and extended-stay demand.

Chris and Ronald recently shared their story on the Self Storage Income Podcast - and it's a must-listen!

They’ve built Safe Space Companies by converting everything from bowling alleys to hospitals into self-storage, and they explain exactly how they did it. If you’re into real estate, development, or just want to hear how two college friends built something big, give it a listen and let us know your thoughts!

Self storage has been a “goldilocks” asset for the last 15 years, but it’s a little harder to find opportunity today. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty, though, you can create massive value with self storage conversion projects, and just one or two of these deals could make you VERY....

From everyone at Safe Space Companies and Genard Company, thank you for being such an important part of this milestone. Your kindness and community spirit mean the world to us.

A huge thank you to our friends at Grounded Coffee Cafe for generously donating coffee and sandwiches for our Redamo Suites ribbon cutting ceremony!

Your support helped create such a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our extended community. It means the world to have a local business like yours stand with us as we open our doors in Jefferson.

Also… we have to mention the iced latte which was a total hit! Smooth, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Pretty sure we overheard more than one guest say it was the best they’ve had in a long time!

We’re proud to partner with a team that embodies the same spirit of care and connection we hope to offer at Redamo Suites. Here’s to many more moments of collaboration and community!

If you haven’t tried their iced latte yet, do yourself a favor and stop by their shop... you won’t be disappointed!

🎀 Ribbon Cut, Doors Open! 🎉
After over 2 years of vision, grit, and hard work, we officially cut the ribbon on our newest project in Pasadena — the transformation of an abandoned hospital into a state-of-the-art self-storage facility.

This project is a testament to what Safe Space Companies is all about: revitalizing forgotten spaces and turning them into something functional, secure, and valuable for the community.

Swipe through to see the incredible before-and-after shots, plus a few highlights from our ribbon cutting celebration. Thank you to the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, Fremin General Contractors, LLC, and everyone who helped bring this project to life — we’re proud of what we’ve built together.

As we continue evaluating investment opportunities, we’re keeping a close eye on self-storage trends. The latest data from Yardi Matrix shows signs of stabilization in the market, with slowing rent declines, selective metro-level rent growth, and a shrinking supply pipeline.

While national rates are still down year-over-year, the pace of decline has slowed significantly, improving from -2.4% in November to -1.2% in January. Some markets are already seeing positive movement, with rent increases in 10 of the top 30 metros for non-climate-controlled units and 9 metros for climate-controlled spaces. Cities like Washington, D.C., Tampa, San Jose, Seattle, and Chicago are leading the way in rent growth.

On the development side, supply constraints are playing a key role in this shift. The share of projects under construction has dropped again, and new supply deliveries are expected to decline by 15% in 2025, continuing to decrease through 2027. This slowdown in new inventory should help stabilize pricing over time.

Another trend shaping the industry is the growing role of AI in self-storage operations and investment strategies. From dynamic pricing models to improved facility management, operators are leveraging technology to optimize performance and adapt to changing market conditions.

So, is the market expected to improve? The data suggests we’re at a turning point. While a full rebound isn’t here yet, conditions are becoming more favorable for price stabilization and future growth. We’ll continue monitoring these trends as we assess new opportunities in the space.

✨ We love celebrating community-driven success! ✨

Two weeks ago, we had the privilege of attending the Jefferson Parish Council meeting, where a $5,000 grant check from Entergy was presented to the Suburban Terrace Civic Association to support the completion of our mural project on Jefferson Highway.

This funding has played a pivotal role in making this vision a reality, and we’re so grateful for the collaboration between local government, businesses, and community organizations to enhance the neighborhood. A heartfelt thank you to the Jefferson Parish Council members, the STCA, and Entergy for their continued support of projects like this!

If you haven’t already, check out our recent post to see the stunning mural in full detail. It’s a vibrant addition to the area, and we’re so proud to have been part of this meaningful collaboration.

The mural is up, and we couldn’t be prouder!

We’re thrilled to share that the mural on Jefferson Highway is now completed and looking incredible. This project has been a true collaboration, made possible by the support of the Jefferson Parish, who commissioned the mural and helped secure grant funding from Entergy.

This is a perfect example of what can happen when local businesses and government come together to make a community better. Huge thanks to Quattro Signs & Graphics for their impeccable work in bringing this mural to life—it’s nothing short of impressive!

Check out the reel below to see the mural come together or drive by Jefferson Highway to see it for yourself. Let us know what you think!
