Prominently positioned on a large intersection, our facility is well branded with striking signage that internally illuminates at night. Our sweeping ‘water free’ gardens are planted with a range of shrubs and trees which have been carefully selected to withstand the harsh Melbourne climate, whilst providing greenery all year round.

Offering a wide range of benefits to our storage clients, including individual door alarms, back to base CCTV monitoring, “A” grade security response, movement sensors, smoke sensors that are fire brigade direct, pin access and our unique fortress locking system for additional protection against forcible entry, we pride ourselves on our elite security.
