The MakeSpace Store

The MakeSpace Store is the next step in our mission to make storage easier for city-dwellers. Simply drop off your things to us, and take advantage of free in-store appointments and shorter minimum storage terms on select plans.

If you live in New York City and want to store or pick up a few smaller items, the MakeSpace store is a convenient (and free!) alternative to a traditional full-service or a self-service appointment.

The MakeSpace store is located in New York City at 494 6th Ave, between 12th and 13th.

Mon-Tues: Closed

Wed-Sun : 8am-5pm

Anyone in our New York/Northern New Jersey service area! Existing customers can schedule an in-store appointment to retrieve smaller items, or to add smaller items to your existing storage.

To determine which plan is best for you, give us a call or stop by the store and a storage expert will be happy to assist you.
