Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT, formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004, to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage properties (“stores”) located throughout the United States. The Company was formed to continue the business of Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1977. The Company’s interest in its stores is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed on May 5, 2004. The Company’s primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership, which meets the definition of a variable interest entity and is consolidated. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company invests in stores by acquiring wholly-owned stores or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities. At June 30, 2024, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 2,389 stores. In addition, the Company managed 1,423 stores for third parties, bringing the total number of stores which it owns and/or manages to 3,812. These stores are located in 42 states and Washington, D.C. The Company offers tenant reinsurance at its owned and managed stores that insures the value of goods in the storage units and also offers bridge loan financing to certain of its third-party self-storage owners.
