San Antonio
Similarly, the rates for San Antonio rose significantly from January of 2023 at $1.21 PSF to a high of $1.35 PSF in May only to fall to $1.09 PSF in September which is only slightly above the 1 year low of $1.07 reached in August of 2023.
OCCUPANCY
Houston
Occupancy in Houston for the REITs (Extra, Life (ES), Cube and Public) as of September 2023 is hovering between an average of 95% and 91% with Extra on top. This is down from the REIT’s peak occupancy over the last 10 years which occurred in late 2021 where average occupancy ranged from 97% to just under 95% with Extra leading the pack once again at 97%.
