storage facility

Place for belongings

A storage facility is a commercial property where individuals or businesses rent space to store belongings.

Units range from small lockers to garage-sized rooms, typically accessed by the renter at will.

Self-storage facilities line American highways and fill industrial parks: We put the furniture in a storage facility while the house was being renovated.

The term also applies to any dedicated space for holding materials—warehouses, data centers, fuel depots.
