The Vaults is not your ordinary storage facility, and it’s quite clear Okanagan residents are intrigued by the one that will soon be under construction in Kelowna.

“We were really blown away by the success of the launch event and the interest in the Kelowna project,” The Vaults vice-president James Murray said. “So we ended up reserving way more units than what we had targeted.”

The Vaults, which describes itself as “Canada’s premier secured storage condominiums,” is scheduled to break ground in November and open next September in the Airport Business Park. Murray said they were expecting 80 to 100 people at its launch event last month but got more than 130 prospective patrons. As a result, 70 per cent of its units are already reserved.

“It’s a very unique development as opposed to a standard residential condominium or a utility storage space,” Murray said. “Having that lifestyle element, tied in with the security aspect of what we offer, really appealed to people.”

If you’re wondering what a storage unit at The Vaults is like, do not picture your average storage unit. The Vaults features units between 1,678 and 4,600 square feet, and each one has a three-piece bathroom. They have 27-foot ceilings, and mezzanines that are 13 1/2 feet off the floor and are the size of 40 per cent of the floor space down below.
