ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Modern Storage Media (MSM) celebrated the best in self-storage last night during its Red Carpet Awards Gala at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia as part of MSM’s inaugural self-storage conference and trade show, THE Show. The gala marked the first time the winners of the annual Facility of the Year awards were announced live before an audience of industry professionals. The evening began with a cocktail reception and red carpet entrance, followed by dinner and the awards presentation.

Since 1987, MSM has recognized the industry’s most exceptional facilities. Today, there are winners in six categories: Overall, New, Construction, Smart, Conversion, and International. The awards recognize excellence in self-storage design, development, innovation, and technology, showcasing properties that set the standard for the industry. And because every facility has a story, the selection process also considers the challenges developers faced in bringing their projects to fruition and how they overcame them.

The 2026 Facility of the Year winners are:
– Overall Facility Of The Year: The Space Shop, Largo, Florida
– New Facility Of The Year: Storage Sense, Bowling Green, Kentucky
– Construction Facility Of The Year: Storelocal Storage at Tesoro Viejo, Madera, California
– Smart Facility Of The Year: Centro Storage, Jacksonville, Florida
– Conversion Facility Of The Year: Storelocal Storage, Irving, Texas
– International Facility Of The Year: Bow City Seton, Calgary, Canada

“We look forward to recognizing the industry’s most modern, cutting-edge self-storage facilities each year, and every time they manage to raise the bar for the next round of awards,” says MSM Publisher Poppy Behrens. “This year, it was especially rewarding to honor the winners at THE Show and give them the opportunity to accept their awards in front of their peers.”

Each winning facility received an engraved trophy and will be featured in the December issue of MSM’s Messenger magazine, available in print and digitally in the coming weeks. In-depth profiles of all six award-winning properties will also be published on the MSM website at www.modernstoragemedia.com.
