Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) and Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) have announced a strategic data science partnership to expand the application of AI in real estate investing.
Under the agreement, Public Storage will license bespoke capital allocation models from Welltower’s data science platform, which leverages machine learning, deep learning, and AI to identify high risk-adjusted return opportunities across acquisitions, developments, and dispositions. The models are designed to accelerate deal timelines and improve capital deployment precision at the micro-market level.
In return, Public Storage will share its operational data science capabilities — including revenue management, demand forecasting, and customer analytics — to enhance Welltower’s operating performance through its Welltower Business System.
Both companies said the collaboration leverages decades of proprietary asset-level data to create a durable information advantage and drive faster, analytics-driven capital allocation and long-term per-share value growth.
