Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. Expands in Toronto With New Class A Facility

LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), announced the opening of a new Class A self-storage facility in Toronto, Ontario.

Located at 1983 Kipling Ave., the new facility reflects the company’s long-term commitment to growing its Canadian platform through high-quality development in dense, supply-constrained urban markets.

The five-story, climate-controlled facility offers approximately 90,300 net rentable square feet and features modern design, enhanced security, multiple elevators, and large indoor loading bays for convenient access throughout the building. The property is purpose-built to serve both residential and commercial customers seeking a secure, professionally managed storage solution.

Strategically positioned with convenient access from Highway 401 and Kipling Avenue, the property benefits from strong visibility within a high-traffic commercial corridor that sees approximately 400,000 vehicles pass daily. The surrounding trade area includes nearly 600,000 residents within a five-mile radius, with approximately 45% of households within three miles being renter-occupied, supporting sustained demand for self-storage.

The facility will serve customers across Toronto, Rexdale, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Woodbridge, and North York, providing modern storage solutions in one of the Greater Toronto Area’s most dynamic and densely populated corridors.

“This new Toronto facility reflects our continued focus on expanding in high-growth, high-density markets with strong fundamentals,” said H. Michael Schwartz, President and CEO of Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. “With its premier location, modern design, and strong demographic profile, we believe this property is well-positioned to meet the storage needs of residents and businesses throughout the surrounding communities.”
