San Diego has a housing problem that no amount of new development can easily fix. Unlike cities where builders can push outward into open land, San Diego is essentially full — nearly 95% developed, with little vacant ground left to build on. Yet the population keeps growing, rents stay high, and the gap between what ...

For most of the past decade, commercial real estate investors operated with a safety net they didn’t always recognize as one.

The self-storage sector rarely makes headlines the way multifamily or office markets do, but for investors paying close attention, it offers dynamics that reward discipline and long-term thinking.
