Founder/President
A graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, Jon has been involved in the self-storage industry for over 20 years. During that time, working along side his father Bruce Manley, Jon has overseen the development of over 3.5 million square feet of self storage in the northeast, south Florida, and Chicago. In January 2021 Jon decided to leave the family business and formed JDM Storage Advisors, LLC.
JDM is able to provide a wide range of development advisory services by leveraging years of development experience, together with its relationships with design professionals, national storage executives, financial institutions, real estate brokers, local land use attorneys, general contractors, and self-storage management companies. Providing clients with the highest quality project and maximizing investment returns are top priority.
JDM focuses on finding high barrier to entry locations, unit mix optimization, and cost effective building components to maximize return on investment for its clients.
In partnership with local volunteer teams and international organizations, 10% of all company earnings is committed to providing funding and scholarships to enable volunteers in providing suitable housing, drinking water, and food supplies to those living in extreme poverty in Guatemala and other locations internationally.
