Micro-units—apartments 441 square feet or smaller—are gaining popularity, but developers and building owners are finding that they also come with challenges, including providing amenities for residents. The most impactful amenity isn’t a gym—it’s on-site storage. Here’s why.

Key Highlights

  • Micro-units are growing, but livability depends on solving clutter and storage challenges.
  • Secure on-site storage improves resident satisfaction, boosts occupancy, and drives retention.
  • Storage retrofits are cost-effective upgrades that transform dead space into revenue-generating assets.
