The Amsdell group of companies (the “Amsdell Companies”), draws its roots from the family owned construction company founded in 1928. Today, it enjoys tremendous success as a premier full service, privately owned real estate company, specializing in the construction, development and management of self-storage facilities, business parks, and related commercial real estate. In over 85 years of doing business, the Amsdell Companies have been active in several billion dollars worth of real estate ventures. In 1976, the Amsdell family founded U-Store-It,na real estate company focused on the ownership, operation, acquisition and development of self-storage facilities. In 2004, U-Store-It became U-Store-It Trust (now CubeSmart Trust), a publicly traded REIT which grew to be the fourth largest owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States according to Self-Storage Almanac. The Amsdell Companies continue to pursue the operation, acquisition and development of self-storage facilities, and office and industrial parks across the country. The Amsdell team has extensive experience in property acquisition, construction and management. This experience, coupled with a conservative operating philosophy and solid planning are the roots of the Amsdell Companies’ success.
