Most metros in the state provide limited opportunities for new development due to restricted zoning regulations and land availability. As a result, almost every major metro in California is underpenetrated. As of March, there were some 16 million square feet\u20149.5 percent of existing stock\u2014of storage space under construction or in the planning stages in the top California markets tracked by Yardi Matrix.<\/p>\n<p>Although select metros saw an uptick in development activity in March, construction is expected to taper across California in the coming months, due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. While most cities in the state are allowing essential construction to continue, required safety measures for construction sites will likely slow deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>The table below highlights the top five markets in California for underway and planned projects as a percentage of total stock, using Yardi Matrix data.<\/p>\n<p><script id=\"infogram_0_4daa688b-a93b-4350-97e1-fc9cd99191b4\" title=\"Top 5 California Markets for Self Storage Development Activity - table\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed.js?k2y\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5.

High costs of living and a shortage of affordable housing may prompt residents to rent smaller apartments, further driving demand for self storage.<\/p>\n<p>As of March, there were around 4.7 million square feet of storage space under construction or in the planning stages, accounting for 7.3 percent of the metro\u2019s existing inventory and representing a 30-basis-point increase over the previous month. Los Angeles\u2019 supply still lags behind demand\u2014the storage inventory per capita is at 4.6 net square feet, below the 6.5 national figure.<\/p>\n<p>However, limited supply is positively impacting rental rates in the metro. In California, Los Angeles registered the highest year-over-year rent growth in March\u2014up by 1.1 percent for standard 10&#215;10 non-climate-controlled units and 2.7 percent for climate-controlled units of similar size.<\/p>\n<h2>4. San Francisco<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to its robust economy, San Francisco is one of the nation\u2019s top attractions for both talent and employers. Despite elevated housing costs, the metro gained 18,791 residents in 2018, up by 0.4 percent and slightly below the 0.6 percent national rate. Demand for self storage is high, but there is little opportunity for new development due to strict zoning regulations. The metro has storage-space stock of more than 30.8 million square feet. Its per-person inventory is 5.5 net square feet, below the national average.<\/p>\n<p>There were some 3.3 million square feet of self storage space under construction and in the planning stages as of March, representing 10.7 percent of existing stock. The metro\u2019s new supply pipeline stagnated month-over-month and given the ongoing health crisis, this trend is expected to continue. Counties in the Bay Area have halted all construction except the development of health-care facilities that relate directly to the fight against COVID-19.<br \/>\n<script id=\"infogram_0_429f8d8e-9274-4138-844c-a15cd521bbd1\" title=\"Top 5 California Markets for Self Storage Development Activity - compare\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed.js?VdP\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>3.
