Compare what each model requires: the property, the operating capabilities, the infrastructure and the risks. Start with the business you can understand.
01 / ENVIRONMENTExplore an enclosed facility where the building envelope, circulation and environmental controls work together. The customer rents a compartment; the operator manages a system.
02 / ACCESSA direct route from vehicle to unit gives this format its distinctive geometry. Rows of doors are only one part of a site shaped by access, circulation and weather.
03 / MODULARITYContainers offer a clear, legible storage module. The land beneath them, their condition and the customer's access route determine whether that module can support a practical operation.
04 / COMMERCECommercial customers bring recurring stock movements, delivery schedules and a different set of service expectations. The storage operator must define where space rental ends and handling begins.
05 / MOBILITYVehicle storage is shaped by turning paths, bay dimensions and seasonal movement. A marked rectangle is only useful when a customer can reach it and leave safely.
06 / SERVICECollection, handling, inventory and return connect the warehouse to the customer's door. The unit of analysis becomes an item, a visit or a container as well as a square foot.
