Senior Leadership Transition
Effective January 1, 2014 and following a thoughtful and well-coordinated succession plan, Christopher P.

New Headquarters
On December 16, 2013, the Company completed the relocation of its corporate headquarters to 5 Old Lancaster Road, Malvern, PA. The Company-owned, 86,000 square foot property offers an open and collaborative work environment for CubeSmart's headquarters-based team members, including its National Sales Center, and the flexibility to support future growth.
The location has a unique dual-use application, serving not only as the Company's corporate office, but also as a fully-operational, 236 unit self-storage facility that will be an important internal resource for training, systems implementation, and business development.
