Executive Summary

CBRE’s Self Storage Advisory Group is retained as the exclusive listing advisor for the US Storage Centers 2 Portfolio, which is a pair of self-storage properties located in the Durham and Raleigh regions of North Carolina offering a combined 1,386 units across 131,005 net rentable square feet of interior climate-controlled self-storage space along with 11,250 net rentable square feet of parking spaces.

Raleigh and Durham anchor one of the nation’s most compelling long‑term investment markets within the Research Triangle, consistently earning top national rankings for economic performance, job growth, and innovation. Raleigh was ranked the No. 1 best‑performing large metro in the U.S. by the Milken Institute in 2025, supported by strong wage growth, a deep high‑tech employment base, and sustained population inflows. Durham‑Chapel Hill has also surged in national standings, climbing into the top 20 best‑performing metros, driven by life sciences, advanced research, and proximity to major universities including Duke and UNC. The broader Triangle continues to benefit from above‑average population growth, a highly educated workforce, and expanding venture capital and corporate investment pipelines, positioning both Raleigh and Durham for durable future growth across office, life science, industrial, and multifamily sectors.
