Breakdown by Facility
Depot Layton
2025 Performance Summary
Net Rentals: +5 (positive absorption) Average Occupancy Rate: ~78–79% Revenue Collected (2025): ~$297K Gross Potential: Consistently underutilized due to vacancy Unrentable Units: Low and stable throughout the year Key Observations
Layton was the stronger performing SDU asset in 2025 from a net rentals perspective. Demand was steady with controlled churn, supporting stable revenue growth. Occupancy remained below optimal levels, indicating room for rate growth once stabilized. January 2026 Update (MTD)
Autopay Penetration: 77.2% Areas of Focus (2026)
Push occupancy into the low-to-mid 80% range to unlock pricing power. Maintain strong autopay adoption to protect revenue stability. Continue local demand capture through targeted digital promotions. Depot West Valley
2025 Performance Summary
Average Occupancy Rate: ~83–84% Revenue Collected (2025): ~$312K Gross Potential: Suppressed by elevated unrentable units Unrentable Units: Material issue (averaging ~30 units) Key Observations
West Valley generated slightly higher revenue than Layton due to better occupancy. However, negative net rentals and high unrentables limited overall performance. Operational constraints, not demand, were the primary drag on growth. January 2026 Update (MTD)
Autopay Penetration: 68.3% Areas of Focus (2026)
Immediate priority: Reduce unrentable inventory — each unit returned to service directly lifts NOI. Improve autopay penetration to 70%+ to reduce delinquency risk. Stabilize churn through better retention offers and rent increase timing. SDU Portfolio – Consolidated View
Executive Summary – What This Means
Layton is a growth candidate: stable, improving, and positioned for occupancy-driven rate gains. West Valley is an operational recovery story: fixing unrentables is the fastest way to improve performance. The SDU portfolio does not suffer from weak demand — results are driven by execution and asset condition, not market fundamentals. Quick portfolio takeaways (SDU)
