The Dubai Marina Lifestyle: Why You Need Professional Movers and Storage
The Dubai Marina lifestyle is unrivaled when it comes to luxury, convenience, and fast-paced living; however, if you are lucky enough to live in one of the fabled towers, such as the Princess Tower or Marina Gate, you will most likely have minimal storage in your apartment.
Whether you are travelling often or are an expatriate that travels between villas at Arabian ranches and apartments in Marina, or are a business owner in JLT looking for somewhere to store extra inventory, finding a dependable business partner is priority one.
Safe Storage has a full understanding of the particular pain points to those residing in Marina:
-
Move in/move out permits - navigating the stringent criteria of Emaar or Dubai Marina’s building managers;
-
Space Optimization - removing clutter out of high-value real estate so that one has as little clutter as possible while maintaining nicely decorated homes and living spaces;
-
Climate concerns – protecting sensitive items from extreme humidity and heat of Dubai.

Advantages

Affordable: Storing your items in self storage will cost you 70-80% less than renting a larger apartment solely to gain extra square footage where you can store your excess items.
-
Less Stress: With SafeStorage's professional packing service, you won't have to do any of the hard work when you move your belongings.
-
Flexible: You have the option of either increasing or decreasing the size of your self storage unit as your needs widen and narrow.
Disadvantages
-
Your belongings are housed at an off-site location. Although your self-storage unit can be accessed at any time, your belongings won't be easily accessible from your living room (where our delivery service comes in handy).
-
Ongoing Costs: Monthly rent will be your ongoing recurring costs, but typically offsets the costs incurred when you lived in your old home rental (multiple.) [Get Free Quotation]
