Inlocostore Observatory

Inlocostore Observatory offers neighbourhood self-storage in the Cape Town suburb of Observatory. Rather than building a warehouse, Inlocostore repurposes space in existing structures and fits it with removable storage modules that are manufactured elsewhere and put together on site. The modular design lets the company add or remove units as demand changes.

The business was set up to serve people living in smaller homes as the city densifies, keeping storage close to where they live and work. Booking is done online: pick the site and unit size, get a quote, sign the rental agreement and pay a deposit.
