What can you store at 1516 N Orleans St?

Interior units run from 4x4 lockers (bikes, boxes, ski gear) through apartment staples — 5x5, 5x8, 5x10, 8x8 — up to 10x15, 10x20, and room-sized 15x15 to 20x20 spaces for full condo moves. Premium temperature-managed interior units hold steady conditions for wood furniture, instruments, electronics, art, and documents. The wine vault offers lockers from 8 cases to 625 cases in a managed environment, with a case-capacity option at nearly every step between. Businesses use the larger rooms and the loading dock for inventory, files, and staging. Note: this is an interior facility — no drive-up, car, or RV storage.

Why store at Orleans & North Ave?

Three reasons customers pick this building. First, the wine vault: roughly 640 temperature-managed wine lockers from 8-case to 625-case capacity — a purpose-built option that almost no other Near North self storage facility offers, minutes from Gold Coast and Lincoln Park collectors.

Second, true city convenience: two blocks from the Sedgwick Brown Line, so you can reach your unit without a car, plus a loading dock, moving carts, and passenger elevators when you arrive with one. 

Third, the small-space lineup: 4x4 lockers and 5x5 units sized — and priced — for apartment living, so you only rent the space you need. The building is access-controlled with 24/7 video recording and well-lit corridors, run by a local team that knows its customers, and it's a Kure It certified location — rentals here help fund cancer research.
