Space that fits your life, not the other way round
You You Space gives you the extra room your home or office doesn't have. You pick a unit size, sign for as little as one month, and come and go as you like — the facility is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Units are independent rooms, not shared shelving. Your belongings stay exactly where you put them, behind a door only your key opens.
- Move in the same day you sign — no waiting period.
- Switch to a bigger or smaller unit at any time as your needs change.
- Pay monthly, quarterly or yearly. Cash, card and bank transfer accepted.
More than 20 sizes to choose from
Most customers start with a unit roughly the size of a small closet and scale up as they need to. Not sure which one? Send us a photo of your belongings and we'll tell you honestly what will fit.

Why temperature and humidity matter in Shanghai
Shanghai summers are humid enough to warp wood, rust metal and grow mould on leather and paper. Every You You Space unit is held at 18–25 °C with humidity around 60%, so what you store comes out the way it went in.
- Central heating in winter, cooling in summer — never a sealed box in the sun.
- Year-round dehumidification, not just in the rainy season.
- Protects photographs, paintings, instruments, electronics, leather and documents.
- Cleaner air means far fewer insects, dust mites and mildew.
You lock it. You keep the key.
Security here is layered, not a single camera pointed at a gate.
Your own lock
Each unit takes your padlock. Staff cannot open it, and no one else has a key.
IC card entry
The gate, the lift and your floor all read your personal card — and log every entry.
CCTV everywhere
Laser CCD cameras cover every corridor and entrance, recording around the clock.
On-site staff
Uniformed staff are present during access hours, with patrols day and night.
Alarm system
The whole building is alarmed, with access codes required to enter and leave.
Insurance available
Basic cover can be arranged for stored goods. Ask your consultant for details.
Almost everything except the things that spoil
Good to store
Household goods, furniture, seasonal clothing, books and documents
Business inventory, archives, accounting records, IT equipment
Artwork, paintings, antiques, musical instruments
Electronics, appliances, leather goods, photographs
Not permitted: perishable food, plants, live animals, flammable or toxic materials, anything illegal in China.
