The city has 3.3 square feet per capita and the fastest population growth in the group at 11.0% over five years, and it has no deliveries planned after 93,336 square feet opened in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, seven of the 10 cities have no new space scheduled for 2026, which leaves their tight inventories intact. The three with projects in the pipeline, Lincoln, Little Rock and Fort Wayne, will add about 462,000 square feet combined.

inventory at the end of 2025 <br><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>\n\n<p>Florida\u2019s cities are scheduled to add 2.4 million square feet in 2026, more than any other state. Jacksonville, FL, leads the 150 largest cities with 705,437 square feet, a 32% increase over the 534,523 square feet delivered in 2025, arriving in a market that already offers 10.5 square feet per capita and where street rates are down 3.8% year-over-year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/fl\/cape-coral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Coral, FL<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, is planning the largest proportional expansion of any large city, with 472,139 square feet equal to 20.7% of its inventory and more than triple last year\u2019s 142,674 square feet. Population growth of 15.6% over five years gives Cape Coral\u2019s developers a growing customer base, although its 9.4 square feet per capita already sits above the national benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>South Florida\u2019s additions respond to tighter supply. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/fl\/miami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami, FL<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, has 379,270 square feet underway for a market with just 4.0 square feet per capita, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/fl\/orlando\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orlando, FL<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, is on track for 310,903 square feet at 7.1 square feet per capita, right at the national benchmark. Texas follows with 1.9 million square feet across six cities, and three of them account for 1.4 million.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/tx\/houston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston, TX<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, is set to deliver 668,366 square feet, up 115% from the 311,025 square feet of 2025, although that volume equals only 2.3% of an inventory totaling 28.5 million square feet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/tx\/el-paso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Paso, TX<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, is planning 387,239 square feet, nearly five times its 2025 deliveries and 7.6% of its inventory, at 6.5 square feet per capita. <a href=\"http:\/\/rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/tx\/san-antonio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Antonio, TX<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, moves in the opposite direction, with 363,174 square feet scheduled after a heavy 843,605 square feet in 2025, a 57% pullback that gives the market room to absorb recent additions.<\/p>\n<p>In the Southwest, Las Vegas, NV, has 666,290 square feet in the pipeline, 9% above last year\u2019s volume, and combined with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/nv\/clark-county\/henderson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henderson<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> at 187,527 square feet and <a href=\"http:\/\/rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/nv\/north-las-vegas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Las Vegas<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> at 79,060 square feet, brings the Las Vegas Valley to roughly 933,000 square feet. With 8.3 square feet per capita and street rates already down 5.8%, the Valley faces a delicate balance between new space and softer pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Metro Phoenix is adding about 1.1 million square feet across five cities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/az\/mesa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mesa, AZ<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, leads with 345,814 square feet, nearly six times its 2025 deliveries, while Phoenix has 271,814 square feet scheduled and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/az\/peoria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peoria, AZ<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, is planning 213,044 square feet, equal to 10.5% of its inventory. Mesa is the only top-10 city for 2026 deliveries where street rates are still rising, up 0.2%, while rates in Peoria have slid 5.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, several large additions are landing where supply is tight, including Yonkers, Los Angeles and Elk Grove. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/ny\/yonkers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yonkers, NY<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, has 187,072 square feet scheduled, or 14.8% of its inventory, in a market with just 2.4 square feet per capita. Los Angeles, CA, is set to deliver 234,074 square feet at 2.2 square feet per capita, a 68% drop from the 740,055 square feet that opened in 2025. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/storage-units\/us\/ne\/lincoln\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lincoln, NE<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, adds 236,668 square feet equal to 11.5% of its inventory, and Elk Grove, CA, plans 223,376 square feet, or 14.1%.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, 38 of the 69 cities with projects are below the 7-square-foot national benchmark, so more than half have room to grow. The cities to watch are those already above the benchmark with rates falling, led by Jacksonville and Houston, along with Cape Coral, where the pipeline is large relative to its inventory.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>September 2026 closed out the summer moving season with street rates at $133, down 2.2% year-over-year and lower for a second straight month, as 75% of the 150 largest cities posted annual declines. Softer pricing appeared in oversupplied Sun Belt markets and undersupplied coastal ones alike, while lean-inventory Midwestern cities kept pricing power, and six of the 10 strongest gainers sit in the region.<\/p>\n<p>A 2026 pipeline that is 10% thinner than 2025\u2019s, with most of the 69 cities that have projects still below the 7-square-foot national benchmark, may ease some of the pressure on supply as the year ends. How quickly Jacksonville, Houston, Las Vegas and Metro Phoenix absorb their new space, along with the demand that population growth and housing activity generate in each market, will shape rates as the industry heads into 2027.<\/p>\n<h2>Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>This analysis was conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/self-storage-near-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RentCafe&#8217;s Self Storage division<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, which aims to capture the pulse of the self storage market and provide consumers with actionable insights to support informed storage decisions.<\/p>\n<p>This report considers self storage rents and forecasted construction for 2026 based on September 2026 data.<\/p>\n<p>The report features the 150 most populous cities that have a self storage inventory.
