Self-Storage in Marshalltown & the Joburg CBD (51 Pritchard St)
Self-Storage in Marshalltown & the Joburg CBD (51 Pritchard St)
Need self-storage in the Johannesburg CBD? Flexistore's Marshalltown facility at 51 Pritchard Street puts secure, app-controlled storage right in the inner city. You book online, open your unit with a digital key on your phone, and get 24/7 access — no padlocks, no deposit. It is built for the way the CBD works: businesses, traders and residents who need space and round-the-clock access.
Inner-city storage and who needs it
Marshalltown is at the heart of Joburg's central business district, surrounded by offices, wholesalers, traders and a growing residential population. Commercial and retail floor space in the CBD is expensive and tight, which makes a secure storage unit a smart, low-cost extension of any business — and a practical option for inner-city residents in compact apartments.
What people store here
- Business stock and inventory — kept secure and accessible without renting more retail or office space.
- Equipment and tools — for traders and service businesses operating in and around the city.
- Archives and documents — securely off-site (see our document storage and POPIA guide).
- Residential overflow — furniture and boxes for inner-city apartment dwellers.
How the units work
Flexistore units are indoor, dry and secure, with steel walls and doors so nobody can see inside and tamper-proof locks built into the frame. Sensors keep each unit dry and at a constant temperature and humidity level, and units are 2.3–2.4 m tall for generous usable volume. Everything runs through the app: a digital key opens the facility and your unit, you can keep a photo inventory, and you can share access with staff and revoke it later — useful when more than one person needs to reach the stock. Trolleys are on site, with free guest WiFi.
24/7 digital access — why it matters in the CBD
Every Flexistore facility is open 24 hours a day, every day, and you get in with the digital key in your app. For a CBD business, that means reaching stock, equipment or records on your own schedule — early mornings, after close, weekends — without waiting for a manager to unlock a gate. Access can be shared with team members and withdrawn instantly when someone leaves.
What size do you need?
Sizes are in square metres, and the height helps — a compact 1 m² unit holds about 15 moving boxes. Scale up for stock, equipment or a home's worth of furniture. Use the in-app size calculator, and note you can change size with no admin fee as your needs change. See our unit sizes guide and Flexistore's B2B storage page.
What it costs
Price depends on size and facility; the live rate is on the Marshalltown location page and in the app. There is no deposit and the minimum term is one month (paid in advance, 14 days' notice to cancel). See our cost guide.
Security
Digital access control and video surveillance mean Flexistore always knows who is on site, and tamper-proof steel units keep stock and belongings out of sight and secure — reassuring for inner-city storage. See how secure is self-storage.
