Why Self-Storage Demand Keeps Growing in Singapore
With an average living space of about 85 square metres per household and property prices that rank among the highest globally, Singaporeans face ongoing space constraints. According to data from JTC Corporation, the warehouse sector occupancy rate stands at 89.6% as of Q3 2025.
Self-storage has become a practical alternative for residents downsizing between flat types, businesses needing overflow inventory capacity, and expats in transition. The market currently has over 50 facilities spanning both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned options across the island.

Regulations Worth Knowing
Since April 2025, self-storage operations in Singapore are restricted to selected JTC Business 1 (B1) zoned sites only. B2 (heavy manufacturing) and Business Park zones are excluded. Operators must maintain compliance with URA's 60:40 space usage rule, where at least 60% of premises remain dedicated to industrial activity.
These zoning restrictions directly affect where new facilities can open, which in turn influences pricing and availability in specific neighbourhoods.
For more detail, consult the JTC self-storage guidelines.
