      Part I, Item 1:  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
                              (unaudited)

Note A -- Basis of Presentation
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
  Company, and its subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and
  transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Prior to
  March 1, 1994, the Company was inactive.
  
  The consolidated financial statements included in this report are
  unaudited.  In the opinion on the Company, all adjustments
  necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have
  been included and such adjustments consisted only of normal
  recurring items.  The interim financial statements should be read
  in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report.  Interim results are
  not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
  
  On March 1, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of 17
  publicly-held limited partnerships (the Predecessor) as a means for
  assembling an initial portfolio of real estate investments.  The
  combined financial statements presented herein for the period from
  January 1, 1994 to March 1, 1994 represent the Predecessor's
  combined results of operations and cash flows prior to the March 1,
  1994.  Since the purchase method of accounting was used to record
  assets acquired and certain limited partners elected to receive
  cash rather than Company stock, the Predecessor financial
  statements are not comparable in all material respects with
  financial statements subsequent to the Acquisition Date.  The most
  significant differences relate to the Partnerships' higher
  historical cost of storage centers and the related depreciation and
  the Company's higher debt and related interest expense in periods
  after the Acquisition Date.
  
  Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months and nine
  months ended September 30, 1995 were 23,133,515 and 19,807,707,
  respectively and for both the three months and nine months ended
  September 30, 1994 were 16,983,887.
  

Note B -- Merger
  On March 24, 1995, the Company merged with Shurgard Incorporated
  (the Management Company) in order to become self-administered and
  self-advised.  On that date, the Company issued 1,266,705 new
  shares of Class A common stock to the shareholders of the
  Management Company.  In addition, 282,572 shares previously owned
  by the Management Company were reissued to Management Company
  shareholders.  On August 28, 1995 pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
  an additional 23,030 shares were issued as a result of adjustments
  identified in the audit of the Management Company's final statement
  of assets, liabilities and stockholder's equity.  The Management
  Company shareholders may receive additional shares over the next
  five years as consideration for certain partnership interests held
  by the Management Company which were not valued at the time of the
  Merger.  A summary of the assets and liabilities assumed in this
  transaction are as follows (amounts in thousands):

      Storage centers                          $ 8,058

                                               ========
  
  During the second quarter of 1995, SSC Evergreen, Inc., a wholly
  owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased the limited partnership
  interest in a partnership (the Evergreen Partnership) which owns
  seven storage centers and a 59.5% interest in a joint venture
  owning three additional storage centers.  The Company paid $35.5
  million in exchange for the 99% limited partnership interest.  The
  Company previously owned the 1% general partnership interest which
  was acquired in the Merger.
  
  The following unaudited pro forma statements of income represent
  the results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended
  September 30, 1994 and as if all properties owned by the Company at
  September 30, 1995 had been acquired on January 1, 1994 and the
  merger of the Management Company, the acquisition of Evergreen
  Partnership and the stock offering had been consummated on January
  1, 1994.  The pro forma results do not necessarily indicate the
  actual results that would have been obtained, nor are they
  necessarily indicative of the future operations of the combined
  companies.

Note C -- Lines of Credit
  During 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $54.1 million on
  its lines of credit.  Proceeds were used to repay the $4.3 million
  line of credit assumed in the Merger as well as fund the
  acquisition of the Evergreen Partnership and four storage centers.
  Proceeds were also used to fund the purchase of several parcels of
  undeveloped land and the initial construction costs at these
  development sites.  All outstanding balances on the lines of credit
  were repaid in June with the proceeds from an offering of Company
  shares described in Note D.  During the third quarter, the interest
  rate on one of the $50 million lines of credit was reduced from
  LIBOR plus 200 basis points to LIBOR plus 175 basis points.
  

Note D -- Shareholder's Equity
  On June 13, 1995, the Company issued an additional 4.5 million
  Class A Common shares at $23.00 per share, providing net proceeds
  after offering costs of $96.9 million.  On July 11, 1995, the
  Company's underwriters exercised their over allotment option and
  the Company issued an additional 420,000 shares, providing
  approximately $9 million in net proceeds.  Net proceeds were used
  to repay lines of credit and the remaining funds will be used to
  fund storage center development and acquisitions and general
  corporate purposes.  Stock options exercised during the quarter
  total 300 shares at an exercise price of $23.00 and market value of
  $24.125 at the time of exercise.



Part I, Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

The Company has entered into a number of important transactions during
1995 that further establish the structural and financial means of
executing its 1995 growth plan.  The following discussion summarizes
the recent developments pertaining to the Company.

Merger of the Management Company  -  In order to create a fully
integrated company and more closely align the interests of management
with the shareholders, the Management Company merged with the Company
on March 24, 1995.  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the
outstanding shares of the Management Company common stock were
converted into an aggregate of 1,289,734 newly issued shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock (Common Stock) and an additional
282,572 shares that replaced the Common Stock previously owned by the
Management Company, subject to certain adjustments.  Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Management Company shareholders are also entitled to
receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future based on (i)
the extent to which, during the five years following the Merger, the
Company realizes value as a result of certain transactions relating to
interests in or assets of six limited partnerships acquired by the
Company in the Merger and (ii) the value, at the end of five years
after the Merger, or in the event of a change of control of the
Company, of any remaining interests in such partnerships as determined
by independent appraisal.

Listing of Common Stock on the NYSE  -  The Common Stock was
authorized for listing on the NYSE under the symbol "SHU" on April 27,
1995, and commenced trading on the NYSE on May 5, 1995.  From March
28, 1994 through May 4, 1995, the Common Stock traded on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "SHUR."

Acquisition of Evergreen Properties  -  In May 1995, SSC Evergreen,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased the limited
partner interest in Shurgard Evergreen Limited Partnership (the
Evergreen Partnership), an entity formed in May 1990 to develop and
own self storage centers, of which the Company is the general partner.
The limited partner interest was owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of
the State Investment Board of the State of Washington.  The Evergreen
Partnership developed and owns seven self storage centers directly
and, through a joint venture, owns an interest in an additional three
centers.  Three of the centers are located in the Atlanta, Georgia
area, three are located in the Portland, Oregon area, and one each is
located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Phoenix, Arizona, San
Antonio, Texas and Seattle, Washington.  At the time of acquisition,
the centers, having an aggregate of 631,000 net rentable square feet,
had a weighted average occupancy rate of 81%, based on net rentable
square footage; weighted average occupancy for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 was 85%.  The purchase price for the limited
partner interest in Evergreen Partnership was $35.5 million which was
financed through the Company's line of credit.

Additional Developments and Acquisitions  -  In 1995, the Company has
continued to selectively acquire development parcels and self storage
centers in its target markets.  Nine developments are currently under
construction in the United States which will contain an aggregate of
approximately 518,000 net rentable square feet of storage space.
Additionally, three storage centers were opened or partially opened by
the Company's Tennessee joint ventures.  The Company has also acquired
existing self storage properties in Taylor, Michigan (March 1995),
Orland Park, Illinois (May 1995), Puyallup, Washington (May 1995) and
Madison Heights, Michigan (June 1995) with a total of approximately
173,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. In the first nine
months of 1995, the Company invested $4.7 million in its Benelux
subsidiary which owns three operating storage centers having aggregate
net rentable square footage of 169,000.  The following table
summarizes the 1995 acquisition and development activity for the
Company and its joint ventures:

                                                              Net

* Includes a majority interest acquired in three properties

Public Stock Offering  - On June 13, 1995, the Company issued an
additional 4.5 million Class A Common shares at $23.00 per share,
providing net proceeds after offering costs of $96.9 million.  On July
11, 1995, the Company's underwriters exercised their over allotment
option and the Company issued an additional 420,000 shares, providing
approximately $9 million in net proceeds.  Net proceeds were used to
repay lines of credit and the remaining funds have been used to fund
storage center development and acquisitions and general corporate
purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 1995, the Company has invested $34 million in storage centers.
In addition to the $8 million storage center acquired in the Merger,
the Company invested approximately $10 million in acquisitions of four
operating storage centers, $13 million in development projects and $3
million in capital improvements to its existing portfolio.  The $7.2
million increase in other real estate investments reflects primarily
the $4.7 million invested in the Company's Benelux subsidiary and the
$2.3 million invested in the Tennessee joint ventures.  As described
above, the Company also invested $35.3 million in cash (net of
partnership cash received) in the purchase of the Evergreen
partnership interest.

Cash balances increased from December 31, 1994 to September 30, 1995
as a result of excess stock offering proceeds.  Prior to the stock
offering, $54 million was borrowed on the lines of credit  to meet
interim acquisition and development requirements and repay the $4.3
million line of credit assumed in the Merger.  All outstanding
balances on the Company's lines of credit, including the $42 million
borrowed in 1994, were repaid on June 13, 1995, leaving current
capital available from lines of credit at September 30, 1995 of $100
million.  At September 30, 1995, the Company's debt to total asset
ratio was 22% and its debt to total capitalization ratio was 19%.

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities,
available lines of credit and the proceeds from its equity offering
will continue to provide adequate capital for planned expansion,
principal payments and dividend payments in accordance with REIT
requirements.  Cash provided by operating activities for the nine
months of operations was $36 million.  The Company has declared the
following dividends during 1995:

     Quarter ended  Record Date      Pay Date     Per Share Amount
     -------------  -------------  -------------  ----------------
     Dec. 31, 1994  Feb. 10, 1995  Mar. 29, 1995       0.44
     Mar. 31, 1995  Mar. 22, 1995  May 19, 1995        0.46
     June 30, 1995  June 2, 1995   July 31, 1995       0.46
     Sept. 30, 1995 Nov. 9, 1995   Nov. 22, 1995       0.46

In order to distribute accumulated earnings and profits related to the
merger with the Management Company, the Company expects to accelerate
its usual fourth quarter dividend and to declare a special dividend of
$2 to $3 million.  The Company expects to declare both dividends prior
to year end, with payable dates in January 1996.

Results of Operations

The Company operates a professionally-managed real estate portfolio
consisting primarily of self service storage properties that provide
month-to-month leases for business and personal use.  Net income for
the third quarter of 1995 was $9.2 million, or $0.40 per share,
reflecting three months of consolidated operations for 168 storage
centers, a commercial building and two business parks.  The table
below provides measures of geographic diversity and property earnings
as a percentage of historical cost.  Performance measures are
annualized to allow comparisons between periods.

The annualized property performance percentages are determined by
dividing the annualized property level net operating income (rental
revenue less direct property operating expenses and real estate taxes)
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by the original
acquisition cost.  This new definition of NOI excludes management fees
which were incurred prior to the merger in order to be comparable with
the current presentation.  This performance is not necessarily
indicative of what the actual property performance percentages for the
full year will be.  Net operating income is not reduced by
depreciation, general and administrative expenses or certain
management level operating expenses and, had it been, the percentages
would be lower.  This performance measure should not be construed as a
yield or return of investment.

FFO is used by many financial analysts in evaluating REIT's. The
Company has historically defined FFO as net income before
extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization, plus or minus
certain non-recurring revenue and expenses. The Company has modified
our definition of FFO in accordance with the recommendations of NAREIT
(the REIT industry association) to exclude amortization of financing
costs.  Accordingly,  management now calculates FFO as net income
before extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization
relating to real estate activities, plus or minus certain non-
recurring non-real estate revenue and expenses.

The following table reconciles our previous definition to the new
NAREIT definition (in thousands):

FFO for the third quarter of 1995 rose $4.4 million over the pro forma
FFO for the third quarter of 1994.  This growth reflects the improved
performance of current properties as well as the addition of
properties acquired during the past year.  Future growth rates will
reflect the performance of developments, as well as current properties
and acquisitions.  Given the anticipated rent-up time frame on
development properties, it normally takes six to nine months after
opening a store to generate positive operating cash flow and at least
twelve months to cover its debt service costs.  Additionally, it could
take a year or longer to reach a return consistent with the current
portfolio.  During  this `rent-up' period, management expects earnings
and FFO per share will be effected.  Management estimates that, at the
current share level, the effect on FFO, for  the first year of
operations for an average development, will be approximately $0.01 per
share, assuming that it is financed with debt.  Despite this interim
drag, management continues to believe that development of storage
centers will provide superior long-term returns.


Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1994

Net income for the third quarter of 1995 has increased 54% or $3.2
million over net income for the third quarter of 1994.  This
significant improvement reflects the Company's merger with its
advisor/property management company, the acquisition of 35 storage
centers (20 of them on September 1, 1994), the opening or partial
opening of three development sites, as well as strong growth in
earnings for the original portfolio.
Third quarter 1995 revenues rose 27% or $5.6 million compared to the
third quarter of 1994, including the addition of $1 million in
revenues from property management operations and a $4.3 million
increase in rental revenues.  Rising rental revenues reflect
approximately $1.6 million of revenues related to the 20 storage
centers acquired September 1, 1994, $2 million of revenues related to
properties added during the second quarter, and a 6% increase in
average rental rates for the original portfolio of assets.  The
average rental rate on the Company's original portfolio of storage
centers rose from $8.42 for the third quarter of 1994 to $8.96 for the
third quarter of 1995.  Average occupancy levels remained relatively
stable at 89% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 compared to 90%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.
Total expenses for the third quarter of 1995 rose 22% or $2.7 million
over the third quarter of 1994, of which $1.3 million represents
increases in noncash depreciation and amortization reflecting the
Company's acquisitions and loan costs related to the lines of credit.
An additional $1.1 million of the increase reflects the addition of
the storage centers discussed above.  Due to its merger with the
management company, the Company no longer pays management fees but
instead recognizes the actual expenses of management administration
and real estate operations.  These additional expenses are also offset
by the revenues received for services performed for outside parties.
General and administrative expenses includes an additional $400,000
and operating expenses includes $1.3 million related to the addition
of the management company expenses.  These are offset by the $1
million in revenue generated from its external operations and the $1.2
million elimination of management fees.
Interest expense decreased $459,000 for the third quarter of 1995
compared to the same quarter in 1994 primarily due to the
capitalization of $435,000 in construction period interest.
Additionally, the Company had no outstanding balances on its lines of
credit during the third quarter of 1995.


Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, 1995 compared to Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, 1994

The following discussion of operating results compares the Company's
actual results for the first nine months of 1995 to the combined
operating results of the Predecessor from January 1, 1994 to March 1,
1994 and the operating results of the Company from March 1, 1994 (the
beginning of operations) to September 30, 1994.
Revenues for the first nine months rose 23% or $13.4 million compared
to the first nine months of 1994, including the addition of $2 million
in revenues from property management operations and a $10.5 million
increase in rental revenues.  This reflects approximately $4.4 million
of revenues related to the 20 storage centers acquired September 1,
1994, $2.8 million of revenues related to properties added during the
second quarter, as well as a 6% increase in revenues for the original
portfolio of assets.
Total expenses for the first nine months of 1995 rose 17% over the
first nine months of 1994, while income from operations rose 32% for
the same period.  This increase reflects the addition of acquisitions
made during the last year as well as the merger with the property
management company discussed above.
