personally if i was gonna build one (of my own) I'd want it wide enough so that i could open my slides and awning....and i would want a WALK THRU door (so i didn't have to use the roll-up overhead door every time wanted access to the storage bay.
Without some demographics study its tough to know what the market could sustain.
I have met folks (in the bay next to me) that live 25 miles away....because there just isn't anything like where i am anywhere else. Ive never paid attn to the number of storage places around until we bought our coach...theres just 1000s of them.
And while my space might be unique, the 100k condo garage place isn't more than 2 mile from where our storage is....so the demand is not unique !
the SMART thing about our storage place is the owner builds one barn at a time....fills it then builds his waiting list and builds another....90 units at a conservative 250 per month generates a nice cash flow on a lot that was otherwise somewhat undesirable....i wish i was 1/2 as smart !
