S&P upgrades CubeSmart

Standard & Poor's said it raised its corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings on CubeSmart to BBB from BBB-.

The outlook is stable.

"The upgrade acknowledges CubeSmart's improved operating results from a larger, higher-quality portfolio than we initially rated in December 2011. Average occupancy in the same-store portfolio grew 180 basis points year-over-year to 92.3% in the third quarter 2014, while realized annual rent per occupied square foot increased to $14.05 from $13.35 in the prior year. Operating metrics which have historically lagged peers are now much more in line with the group," S&P credit analyst Matthew Lynam said in a news release.
