Your Property, Powered by the Platform We Built to Run Our Own
We are a self-storage management company — and we are also a self-storage owner, operating 60+ properties across Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. We did not license this platform from somebody else. We built it to run our own properties, and yours runs on the same one.
We manage your property on the same systems we run our own on.
Arborstone is a self-storage management company. We are also a self-storage owner, and the operating platform we manage your property on is the one we built for ourselves. It covers the whole operation:
- Pricing engine and revenue management. Street rates, existing-customer increases and competitor comps, applied on a schedule.
- Centralized call center. In-house, seven days a week, with after-hours capture.
- Gate and camera infrastructure. Per-tenant access, integrated with the management system and monitored centrally.
- Technology infrastructure. The hardware and integrations that make a property remotely operable, designed and built in-house.
- Reporting and owner visibility. Monthly financials, KPI tracking and an operational dashboard you can look at any day you like.
60+ properties across Oklahoma, East Texas and western Arkansas run on that platform today: the ones we own, and the ones we manage for other owners. We are not reselling somebody else’s software with a service wrapped around it — and when a decision is made, it is one we have already made on our own portfolio first.

Monthly financials on a fixed cadence, KPI tracking and an owner dashboard. A management company reports to satisfy a contract. We report because we need the same numbers.
Risk less
Access control, cameras and central monitoring installed to the specification Arborstone requires on every property it manages — not merely to the minimum a management agreement allows.
Pay less
No local payroll, no benefits, no turnover, no coverage gaps. It matters most at a property with little margin for unnecessary overhead, or one that cannot support a traditional onsite staffing model.
How Arborstone manages a self-storage property
Six disciplines, run as one system. Each is a place where an independent owner typically leaves money on the table.
Remote and hybrid management
Why a centralized operating model outperforms a person behind a desk — and how scheduled local oversight bolts on when you want boots on the ground.
Compare the models →Revenue management
Dynamic street rates, existing-customer rate increases and competitor comps, applied on a schedule rather than when someone remembers.
See how pricing works →Marketing and lead generation
Your property joins an established multistate brand with real organic search presence, instead of relying on the presence of a standalone facility.
See our marketing approach →Accounting and owner reporting
Clean books kept on a cash basis as standard, audit-ready records, a monthly operating statement that arrives without you asking, and an operational dashboard alongside it.
See what you receive →Technology and security
Access-control hardware we designed and build ourselves, integrated gate and camera systems, the reporting platform behind them, and an in-house call center.

Alex owns multiple self-storage properties, all of them on the Arborstone platform.
“I own multiple properties and I chose Arborstone to manage them. Since they own lots of properties themselves, I knew our interests were aligned and that we were able to see a cheaper operational experience by joining forces — and over the past three years, I've been impressed with how efficient they've managed to deliver an incredible service.”
60+ properties across Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas — the ones we own and the ones we run for other owners — all on the same platform.
Self-storage management across Oklahoma, East Texas and western Arkansas
We manage across our three-state footprint — roughly 10,000+ units in 40+ communities, from metro-edge facilities to the small-town properties most national managers will not look at.
Arborstone grew up operating in secondary and tertiary markets, which is the harder version of this business. A facility in a town of eight thousand people cannot carry a full-time employee, cannot outspend a REIT on advertising, and cannot absorb a mispriced unit mix for a year. An operating model that works there works comfortably in a larger market. It does not work the other way around.
Proximity matters practically rather than sentimentally: a property within reach of an existing Arborstone facilities route is cheaper for us to serve, and that shows up in what it costs you. If yours sits outside that footprint, we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
Oklahoma
Our home market and the largest concentration of Arborstone-owned facilities, our home market and where the platform was first built out.
East Texas
An established part of our footprint, served on the same platform and facilities routes.
Western Arkansas
The eastern edge of our footprint, and an active area for new partnerships.
What partnering with us looks like
Four steps, no pressure at any of them. Most owners take a few months over this and we would rather they did.
A conversation
No obligation. We ask about the property, your goals and what is frustrating you. Usually 30 minutes.
A free facility performance review
Send twelve months of financials. We return a written analysis of where the property is leaking revenue or overspending — yours to keep either way.
A proposal
Scope, pricing and expectations in writing, built on your numbers rather than a generic template.
Onboarding
A structured transition against our checklist, typically beginning about 30 days before go-live.
