Exhibit 99.1
Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. Recognized as Top Performer Among Lifecycle REITs in Recent Stanger Industry Performance Data
LADERA RANCH, Calif. – (May 14, 2026) – Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), announced that it was recognized by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. (“Stanger”) as the top performing Lifecycle REIT over a three-year period as of March 31, 2026. SST VI achieved a total return of approximately 13.0% as published in the Q1 2026 Non-Listed REIT edition of the Stanger Report.
“We are proud of the continued growth and performance of our platform and the value we strive to deliver to our stockholders through a disciplined investment and operational strategy,” said H. Michael Schwartz, President and CEO of SST VI. “We believe this recognition reflects the strength and resilience of the self-storage sector, the quality of our portfolio and the dedication of our team across the organization. During the pandemic-era boom, when much of the sector was characterized by aggressive development assumptions and compressed valuations, we focused on strategically positioning our portfolio — targeting underserved growth markets in the U.S. and expanding into Canada through our sponsor's platform. Being recognized as a top performer among Lifecycle REITs reinforces our long-term approach to building a high-quality platform focused on operational excellence and sustained value creation for investors.”
Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. (“Stanger”) tracks the performance of non-traded REITs, including publicly registered and private placement Net Asset Value (“NAV”) REITs and Lifecycle REITs, through its quarterly total return indices and performance rankings. The information included in this press release is based on industry data published by Stanger and reported by AltsWire in May 2026. For more information, visit Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc.
