SmartStop Self Storage REIT Inc., a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust, has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed underwritten public offering in conjunction with the listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange.
SmartStop intends to apply to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SMST.”

Citigroup, Wells Fargo Securities, KeyBanc Capital Markets, and BMO Capital Markets are acting as joint book-running managers of the offering.

Last March, another affiliated non-traded REIT, Strategic Storage Trust IV, merged with SmartStop in an all-stock transaction valued at $370 million.
The REIT had an estimated net asset value per share of $15.08, as of June 30, 2021.
