Why CSSVS
Canada's only firm dedicated exclusively to self storage valuation — combining 20+ years of industry expertise, CUSPAP-compliant standards, and the deepest proprietary database in the market.
Founded 2005
We provide accurate, efficient reports that adhere to the highest standards in the industry — and we do it exclusively for self storage, giving our clients unmatched depth of market data that generalist firms simply can't match.
CSSVS has been a sponsoring member of the CSSA since our founding — giving our clients the benefit of direct relationships across the national self storage community, and a seat at the table as the industry's standards evolve.
To be Canada's first choice for self storage valuation and advisory services — trusted not for a single report, but for a relationship that supports owners, lenders, developers, and investors at every stage of the asset lifecycle, coast to coast.
CSSVS combines top-notch industry knowledge with advanced technology to deliver efficient service and innovative solutions — extracting market knowledge from brokers, lenders, property managers, and other commercial appraisers, and translating it into a fair, equitable value.
Every engagement draws on the same institutional-grade data resources used by Canada's largest commercial real estate firms:
All reports are prepared in conformity with Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and every appraiser is a member of the Appraisal Institute of Canada. Our affiliations extend across the industry:
Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice govern every report we produce — the same standard required by all major institutional lenders.
All our appraisers are AACI, P.App designated members of the AIC, subscribing to its Code of Professional Ethics.
Every engagement is handled with the discretion we'd expect in return — no information shared with CSSVS is disclosed without written consent.
