Josie and Ricky discovered the demand for accessible downtown storage through a journey of their own storage needs when they moved to combine households. This need included storage of tools, outdoor gear, the histories of older children, business documents, and other significant belongings. These items needed to be accessible, but there was no room in the new home space, and convenient storage was not an option. This lack of choice sparked the idea to build a storage park where location mattered; however, once the plan was in motion, the project proved not to be as simple as initially thought. Development never is.

It required a resolve of pure determination. While Research demonstrated viability and a joint venture arrangement was established that provided access to capital, resilience and creativity were key. And in 2011, Titanium Storage was born: Whitehorse’s first downtown storage park.

Operations opened on a cold, grey day in November with an occupancy rate of one for the first month. Josie and Ricky remember the feeling that doom was sure to follow. However, as awareness of the new storage facility grew, occupancy rates steadily climbed, reaching a 90% occupancy by spring. Titanium Storage has been operating at capacity ever since!

In 2014, Josie and Ricky were proud to say that they had purchased their joint venture partner’s shares, becoming the sole owners of Titanium Storage.
