HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Westlake Royal Building Products^™, a Westlake company (NYSE: WLK), has launched two new shake colors under its DaVinci^® Roofscapes brand: Timber Black and Blonde Cedar. Representing opposite ends of the color spectrum, each showcases the unique, natural variations of cedar that emerge depending on when, where and how it is harvested, opening a world of possibilities for nearly any home exterior.

“The latest additions to our Nature Crafted Collection highlight DaVinci’s dedication to creating roofing options that balance natural beauty with exceptional performance,” said Mark Pagel, general manager, DaVinci Roofscapes. “Timber Black and Blonde Cedar showcase the striking contrast and authenticity of real cedar, while delivering the durability and low-maintenance benefits homeowners expect from DaVinci.”

The new Timber Black color features deep grays and blacks reminiscent of the rich shades of freshly burning charcoal. Part of the Nature Crafted Collection, Timber Black combines a textured shake appearance with bold hues for the authentic feel of rustic black cedar trees found deep in the eastern forests of North America.

Warm and refined, the new Blonde Cedar color features distinct grain patterns that replicate the depth and light, airy coloring of sun-kissed cedar. The hue highlights a roof with a subtle luster of golden tones that add a comfortable, natural cedar distinction to lighten the mood of the entire home exterior.

Timber Black and Blonde Cedar are available in Select Shake, Single-Width Shake and Multi-Width Shake. DaVinci shake products are modeled from hand-split shake for natural, non-repeating beauty but without the ongoing maintenance, repairs and replacement needs of wood. The product’s unique composite construction outperforms natural cedar shake with a Class A Fire Rating, Class 4 Impact Rating and a 110-mph Straight-line Wind Rating. The tiles withstand winds up to 180 mph, meeting Coastal Florida’s performance for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) and Miami-Dade wind requirements when fastened properly.

LADERA RANCH, Calif. & TUCSON, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), an internally managed real estate investment trust and a premier owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States and Canada, announced a significant milestone in its growth strategy with the signing of a contribution agreement for Argus Professional Storage Management (“APSM”), the sixth largest (and second largest independent) self-storage third-party management company in the U.S., according to Inside Self Storage, to combine with SmartStop. Together, SmartStop and APSM will own or manage over 460 self-storage properties in North America. The transaction is expected to close in October 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

“We are very excited to announce this strategic combination, which expedites SmartStop’s expansion into third-party management in a manner that we believe will be immediately accretive to SmartStop’s FFO as Adjusted,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SmartStop. “Perhaps more importantly, we are doing so with an absolutely top-notch entrepreneurial partner managing a portfolio with sizeable geographic overlap to our existing portfolio. APSM has earned a strong reputation for integrity and performance within the self-storage industry, and we are proud to join our two great companies. By combining Argus’ presence in the property management space with our innovative technology-driven platform, we can provide storage owners with a differentiated offering that is both flexible and powerful. Likewise, we believe that our entrepreneurial roots make us a terrific partner for owners both in the U.S. and Canada.”

“This is a game-changing deal for the self-storage industry,” said Ben Vestal, Chief Executive Officer of APSM. “This merger will create a best-in-class operating and management platform. SmartStop’s entrepreneurial approach along with its robust technology will allow APSM to continue to provide its clients with the flexibility they value while tapping into an industry-leading platform. The two companies’ cultures are very similar, with an emphasis on putting the client’s investment goals and objectives first. This merger will create the first entrepreneurial-minded, industry leading operating platform in self-storage.”

SmartStop will continue to embrace APSM’s entrepreneurial and collaborative approach to third-party management designed to meet the needs of independent storage owners and will be expanding that offering to three distinct partnership options:

1. SmartStop – a traditional SmartStop-branded strategy,
2. SmartStop Legacy – an option in which partners maintain their existing brand, but operate on SmartStop’s website and the SmartStop Platform, and
3. Full Private Label – a fully white label solution that fully preserves the existing brand identity from top to bottom, while running on the SmartStop Platform.

This flexible model empowers storage entrepreneurs to engage with SmartStop on their own terms, while gaining the advantages of SmartStop’s industry-leading technology, that drives operational efficiency, dynamic pricing, and comprehensive marketing. Additionally, SmartStop will offer customized bridge lending opportunities, providing further flexibility and liquidity to its partners. SmartStop’s collaborative approach to third-party management emphasizes independence and flexibility, tailoring solutions to each partner’s goals.
