Core, Trophy Los Angeles MSA Self-Storage Opportunity – Azusa, CA
900 W Foothill Blvd Azusa, CA 91702
Strategically located along historic Route 66 (Foothill Boulevard), the property benefits from iconic architecture and exceptional visibility along one of Southern California’s most recognizable corridors. The high-profile corner site offers climate-controlled space, superior ingress/egress, and a covered loading area, delivering a competitive advantage over older, first-generation facilities.
The facility opened in Fall 2023 and achieved 90%+ physical occupancy within its first 18 months, now stabilized at 97%. This rapid lease-up underscores the pronounced supply/demand imbalance in the San Gabriel Valley—where this is the only new project delivered in the past two decades and with little new development in the pipeline. With in-place rents still trailing submarket averages and Los Angeles County’s emergency rent restrictions scheduled to expire in January 2026, the asset is exceptionally well positioned for immediate, outsized rental rate growth.
Situated on West Foothill Boulevard, the store boasts exposure to more than 22,000 vehicles per day. It is proximate to Azusa Pacific University (10,000+ students) and Citrus College (12,000+ students), ensuring consistent demand from students, faculty, and staff. The surrounding community continues to benefit from robust housing development, with both multifamily and single-family projects under construction and planned.
Azusa, located in the San Gabriel Valley, is home to more than 1.5 million residents and serves as a key employment and housing hub within Los Angeles County. The immediate trade area supports over 120,000 residents within three miles and more than 325,000 within five miles, with average household incomes exceeding $117,000 and $120,000, respectively.
With exceptional lease-up performance, scarcity of new supply, strong demographics, and a prime location adjacent to major universities and expanding residential neighborhoods, this opportunity represents an irreplaceable chance to acquire a core, best-in-class self storage investment in one of the nation’s most sought-after and supply-constrained markets.
