Urban renewal (earthquake-driven redevelopment) projects aim to create stronger, more modern and more comfortable spaces by renewing the buildings we live in. In some cases this involves structural improvements; in others, buildings are completely demolished and rebuilt.
Demolition and construction can drag on, and the handover date of your new apartment may not turn out as expected. Amid all this uncertainty, one question comes to the fore: where do you put your household belongings? This is exactly where an urban renewal storage service steps in, offering a safe and practical solution. We've laid out every step, from moving out to returning to your new apartment, in our article on the urban renewal storage process.
Troy Depo develops comprehensive solutions for people who need to store their household belongings temporarily or long term during urban renewal. With benefits ranging from moving and packing services to insurance coverage, it makes the process easier and keeps your belongings away from construction crowds and high-risk environments.
Demand for storage is growing. Choosing the right facility matters.
The longer demolition and construction drag on, the more you need a safe place for your belongings. In TRT Haber’s report on household storage, our co-founder Batuhan Yusuf Hakan explained how storage fees are set and what safe storage should look like.
Why Does Urban Renewal Call for Storage?
Urban renewal is a demanding process from start to finish. During this time, we want to take the worry of protecting your valuable belongings off your hands. With in-city storage solutions, you can get through urban renewal in comfort.
Demolition, Renovation and Long-Term Projects
The main goal of urban renewal is to renew buildings that are aging or not earthquake-resistant. Sometimes only renovation work is carried out, but more often the old building is demolished and rebuilt.
During this process, homeowners and tenants have to leave their homes, and finding a place for their belongings isn't easy. Leaving them on a construction site means risking dust, moisture or theft. Besides, belongings simply can't stay there once demolition begins.
- The Temporary Housing Problem: You'll need to move to a different address until your new building is complete. Since this can take more than a year, fitting your belongings into a relative's home often becomes impossible.
- Risk of Damage: Constantly moving your belongings from place to place is exhausting. And every move during this period also puts your belongings at risk of damage.
Keeping Household Belongings Safe
“Where do you put your belongings during urban renewal?” is a question that may cross the mind of anyone starting such a project.
With an urban renewal storage service, you can entrust your belongings to facilities equipped with security cameras, humidity control and staff supervision.
This kind of professional approach is a big advantage, especially for bulky furniture, large appliances, electronic devices and even fragile decorative items. That way, your belongings are stored without risk until your new apartment is finished.

Urban Renewal Storage Options
When storing your belongings, you have the following options:
· Choosing the storage period

Short- or Long-Term Storage Contract
Urban renewal projects usually take several years. Even when things go according to plan, the timeline can be extended by construction delays or setbacks with renovation work and permits.
Short-term storage rental is ideal if you don't want to commit to months of storage up front; if the project runs longer, you may be able to continue the contract flexibly.
Moving, Packing and Insurance Services
At its core, urban renewal involves demolition, construction or renovation. So moving your belongings yourself is both very laborious and a job that calls for expertise. Our professional moving and packing team takes your furniture apart, wraps it in protective materials and places it in your storage unit, greatly reducing the risk of breakage or scratches at this stage.
The insured storage option is also especially important during urban renewal. In the event of delays, unexpected accidents on the construction site or natural disasters, insurance protects you against financial loss. That way, you can store your valuable belongings with peace of mind, however uncertain the future may be.
Urban Renewal Storage Prices
“How are household storage prices determined during urban renewal?” is what people looking for this service want to know most.
Several factors affect the price:
- Unit Size (m³ / m²): The greater the volume of your belongings, the larger the storage space you need and the higher the cost.

How are storage prices calculated during urban renewal?
Prices depend on factors such as the storage space (in cubic meters or square meters), the contract term and additional services (moving, packing, insurance). It's important to choose a unit size that matches the volume of your belongings and the estimated length of the project.
Where can I store my belongings during urban renewal?
You can store them in facilities offered by professional storage companies. At some of its partner warehouses, Troy Depo protects your belongings with 24/7 CCTV, alarm systems and insurance options.
Does it make sense to rent short-term storage during urban renewal?

What should I keep in mind when storing belongings for urban renewal?
It's important to pack your belongings properly, work with professionals when choosing a moving team and consider the insurance option. When choosing a facility, you should also look at factors such as humidity control, climate control and security.
How can household goods be moved without damage?
Wrap your belongings in bubble wrap, pack them in suitable boxes or use special foam materials, and label fragile items. If possible, take apart furniture that can be disassembled and wrap the pieces in protective packaging. A professional packing team makes this process much easier.
