How Condo Boards Are Adding Storage Without Construction or New Square Footage

Every condo board hears it eventually. Residents want more storage. The storage room is full. The waitlist is growing. Someone’s bins have migrated to the garage floor again. It is one of the most consistent complaints in condominium living, and for most boards, it has never had a good answer.

Until now, the options were limited. Build more storage rooms, which requires space the building does not have. Point residents toward off-site self-storage, which costs money and solves nothing for the building. Or do nothing and let the complaints continue.

There is a fourth option most buildings have not considered. And the space for it has been sitting empty above every parking space in the garage. Overhead parking space storage gives condo boards a fourth option that requires no new square footage and no structural work.

The Space That Was Always There

Residential parking garages are designed around one thing: the vehicle. The parking garage storage locker that sits above each assigned space uses what was already there. The space above the car, from roof to ceiling, sits completely empty in virtually every multifamily building in the country. Park’Nest puts that space to work.

A freestanding overhead storage locker installed directly above each resident’s assigned parking space gives residents 88 cubic feet of private, lockable storage. The car parks safely below, with adjustable clearance that accommodates standard vehicles, SUVs, and trucks. The locker sits above, built from powder-coated galvanized steel and designed specifically for the garage environment.

"No square footage is added. No
structural modifications of any kind are made
to the building. The overhead space that was already
there becomes a premium amenity."

What This Means For The Board

Every association is different. Park’ɴNest is structured to work with that.

Some buildings have residents purchase their own locker directly through Park’ɴNest. No capital outlay for the HOA. The board approves and residents get the storage they have been asking for.

Other associations acquire the lockers as a building asset and offer them to residents as part of the amenity package or as a monthly add-on.

We work closely with each building through every stage of the process. From the initial site evaluation through installation, we are available to present to the board, answer resident questions, and support the rollout in whatever way works best for how the building operates.

Because Park’ɴNest is 100% freestanding, there are no structural modifications of any kind and no changes to the garage infrastructure. The locker sits above the parking space. Every locker is individually and uniquely keyed with no master key. Storage is completely private. Residents manage their own locker independently.

See It Before The Board Decides Anything

The Complimentary Nest Program gives condo associations the opportunity to experience Park’ɴNest firsthand before the board commits to a full rollout. We install one full-size locker in your garage at no cost and no obligation. Board members and residents can open the door, check the clearance, and see exactly how it works in your specific garage before making any decisions. If the building chooses not to move forward, we remove it.

No cost. No commitment. No risk to the building.

Park’ɴNest lockers are installed in residential buildings across the country.
