Where Are These Luxury Storage Units Located?

Luxury storage facilities are popping up all over the world.. but the when we say luxury - how lux is luxury?

Welcome to the golden age of luxury storage. There was a time when storage units were places people reluctantly visited once every few years, usually armed with a flashlight, a vague memory of what was in there, and a growing sense of dread. These days, however, if you’re fabulously wealthy, your storage unit may be cleaner, cooler (literally and socially), and more secure than the homes of 95% of the world population. Scary to think that some humans spend more money on a storage unit in a year than other humans spend on a mortgage for a lifetime.

Let's head around the world to see where these so called "luxury storage facilities" are hanging about?

Dubai

Dubai, the city where gold-dispensing ATMs are the norm and camel racing is a casual day out. Dubai now offers insane storage solutions that make five-star hotels look like budget motels. With approximately 67,900 high-net-worth individuals calling Dubai home for all the reasons we all dream of, the demand for high-security, high-end storage is booming.

Imagine climate-controlled vaults for your art collection, biometric access for your vintage car, and a dedicated sommelier to tend to your wine stash. It's not just storage; it's a lifestyle. Each of your items has a personally selected expert to tend to your treasures. After all, if your possessions aren't living their best life as well, are you even wealthy?

One company even offers private viewing rooms for your art and collectibles. The facilities aren't your average Joe rows of storage units. They come with biometric access, armored delivery, concierge services & even unknown locations.

Monaco

Then there’s Monaco, where storage is less about space and more about square meter bragging rights. A prominent provider in Monaco, Monte-Carlo Self Storage offers flexible storage options for both wealthy individuals and high-end professionals. Their facility features over 1,000 square meters of storage space, divided into units of various sizes, accessible 24/7. These units are built on top of each other to be able to maximize space.

Security measures are not too shabby either, some of the "basic" features include personalized access badges, video surveillance, and advanced fire detection systems. With Monaco covering just over 2 square kilometers and housing approximately 18,000 individuals per square kilometer, space is at a premium and an expensive one at that. This scarcity drives the need for external storage solutions to declutter living already small but luxurious living and crowded working environments. These self-storage solutions cater to Monaco's unique spatial constraints and their unique residents. Providing residents and businesses with highly secure and flexible options to manage their high end collectables, cars & artworks effectively.

Geneva

Let’s start travel to Geneva, home to the Geneva Freeport.. a facility so exclusive that it sounds fictional.. Nestled next to the airport for tax reasons (how convenient), the Freeport houses over 1.2 million artworks, including around 1,000 Picassos. No one is entirely sure who owns what as the details are confidential, but we assume it’s all very legal and extremely tasteful..

While the building looks like a cross between a tech entrepreneurs data center and a Bond villain’s garage, inside it's climate-controlled, highly secure, and probably smells faintly of mahogany and generational wealth. Some smells only for the 1% in the world.. if not the 0.5%.

Wine lovers.. Do not faint. It's also home to the world’s largest wine collection, with space for up to 3 million bottles. Presumably, all sealed and completely inaccessible unless called upon for a long lunch..
