“NOI to Exit: How Appraisers, Lenders, and Buyers Look at Storage Right Now.
Industry Leaders Gather to Discuss the Current State of Self Storage
The room was filled with industry professionals, insightful discussions, and meaningful collaboration during the recent Lunch & Learn: "NOI to Exit: How Appraisers, Lenders, and Buyers Look at Storage Right Now." Hosted at Keller Williams Realty East Valley, the event brought together developers, lenders, appraisers, operators, and construction professionals to explore the factors influencing today's self-storage market.
As the industry continues to evolve, conversations like these provide valuable perspectives on financing, development, valuation, and investment strategies.
TLW Construction Shares the Construction Perspective
We were especially proud to have TLW Construction President, Tarik Williams, serve as a panelist during the event.
Representing the construction side of the industry, Tarik shared insights into rising construction costs, current underwriting expectations, and the challenges developers face when planning new self-storage projects in today's lending environment.
His perspective highlighted the importance of strategic planning, realistic budgeting, and early collaboration to help keep projects both financially viable and positioned for long-term success.
Collaboration Drives Better Projects
With lenders, appraisers, developers, operators, and construction professionals all contributing to the discussion, attendees gained a comprehensive view of the current market landscape.
The conversation reinforced that successful self-storage developments require more than quality construction—they depend on collaboration, informed decision-making, and alignment across every stage of the development process.
By bringing together professionals from different sectors of the industry, events like this help create stronger partnerships and better outcomes for future projects.
