SmartStop is a self-storage REIT (NYSE: SMA) that completed an $810 million IPO in April 2025 and sponsors self-storage DSTs through its broader platform, with assets in the $7 billion-plus range post-listing. Its pure-play self-storage focus, internal management and combined U.S.-and-Canada footprint give it a clean, single-sector thesis, and the recent public listing adds a transparency and liquidity dimension uncommon among DST sponsors. For exchangers, it offers concentrated exposure to a resilient, low-operating-intensity asset class.
