Sustainable Self-Storage in Vienna Ottakring
Industrial Space Transformed into Sustainable Storage Space
This form of revitalization conserves valuable resources, reduces the demand for building materials, and avoids the emissions that would result from a completely new construction. The repurposing of existing buildings is therefore one of the most resource-efficient forms of real estate development. Instead of demolition and new construction, we focus on revitalization and give already existing buildings a new purpose.
This offers several advantages:
- No additional land sealing
- Reduced use of building materials
- Lower CO₂ emissions than in a new building
- Maintenance of existing infrastructure
- Sustainable use of existing resources
- Revitalization of neighborhoods
This approach is particularly important in a large city like Vienna. After all, every area that does not need to be redeveloped reduces the burden on the environment and contributes to a more sustainable urban development.
Less Land Sealing in the City
Land is a valuable resource, especially in urban areas like Vienna. Every new impervious surface affects the urban climate, hinders rainwater infiltration and reduces natural habitats for human as well as animals. By utilizing existing buildings in Ottakring, we avoid additional land sealing. Instead of developing new plots of land, we focus on the smart expansion of existing infrastructure — an important contribution to sustainable urban development!
Why land sealing is an important issue in Vienna
Cities are growing steadily, and with that, pressure on available land is also increasing. New construction projects for both residential and industrial buildings on previously undeveloped land often lead to additional soil sealing.
For us, these consequences are particularly noticeable:
- Higher temperatures in the summer due to so-called heat islands
- Reduced natural infiltration of rainwater
- Higher risk of flooding during heavy rainfall
- Loss of green spaces and habitats
- Impact on the urban microclimate
By utilizing existing industrial spaces in Vienna’s Ottakring district, we avoid precisely these impacts. We provide you with additional storage space in Vienna without taking up any new space.
Self-storage where people live
Another advantage of our location: It’s right in the city. Customers don’t have to travel long distances to industrial parks on the outskirts of town to access their storage units. Shorter trips mean less traffic, lower CO₂ emissions, and greater convenience. Sustainability and practicality go hand in hand here.

- Efficient use of existing energy sources

More Than Just Self-Storage: Our Rainforest Campaign
For us, sustainability doesn’t end with the building. That’s why STORE ROOM is also committed to protecting valuable rainforest areas.
Rainforests are among the most important ecosystems on our planet. They store large amounts of CO₂, regulate the climate, and provide a habitat for countless animal and plant species.
Through our rainforest campaign, we are actively contributing to the protection of these valuable habitats.
Why rainforests are so important:
- Storage of large amounts of CO₂
- Protection of global biodiversity
- Regulation of the global climate
- Preservation of important ecosystems
- Protection of natural water and climate cycles
Every storage space reservation supports this commitment and makes sustainable practices and our responsibility an integral part of our daily business.
Sustainable Moving with KIBOX
Sustainability isn’t just about storage space — it starts with the move itself. That’s precisely where large amounts of packing materials are often generated, only to be thrown away shortly afterward. That’s why many of our customers rely on KIBOX’s reusable moving boxes .
These sturdy reusable boxes can be used multiple times and replace traditional single-use cardboard boxes.
Our reusable boxes are waterproof, sturdy, and stackable, which minimizes the space they take up and makes moving easier for you. KIBOX moving boxes can be rented for one month and are eco-friendly, as they can be reused up to 500 times.
