An app, a smart lock, an unmanned floor — simple on the surface, three years of integration underneath. At our Yanji flagship in Taipei, this system has become routine. We are now opening three structured ways to participate: brand franchise, system license, co-investment — for partners with a considered view on Asia's urban future.
Latent demand has long been displaced — to stairwells, makeshift rooms, and informal arrangements. Today, three macro curves are converging: declining housing footprints, the rise of micro-commerce, and APAC penetration catching up to mature markets.
The figures below are written by the platform itself, in continuous operation at our Taipei flagship. Operating-system access is available to qualified counterparties on request.
Traditional operators outsource six modules to six vendors. We built all six as one system. Stability, iteration speed, customization — fully owned, which is why "unmanned" actually works.
Browse facilities and units via app with real-scene imagery — no on-site staff needed for tours.
Real-time availability with sizes and pricing. Users self-select and book; the system auto-locks the unit.
Legally binding e-contracts with auto-filing and notifications — eliminating paperwork.
Multi-channel payment with auto-debit renewal. Overdue reminders and handling — zero manual follow-up.
Digital PIN locks with app-based remote unlocking. Real-time access logs and automatic alerts.
24H in-unit camera streaming — users check belongings anytime, managers monitor all facilities remotely.
Download Our App
Users find Spark Space through Google, social ads, or referrals and enter the app or website.
Browse facility tours, select unit size, and check real-time pricing and availability via the app.
Sign digital contracts and complete first payment online — entire process done in 5 minutes.
Digital access code auto-sent upon payment. Immediate use — no waiting for manual assignment.
Enter facility and unit with PIN code to store items. Full camera coverage ensures security.
Monitor, manage contracts, auto-renew, or cancel anytime through the app — fully autonomous.
Real tenant mix at Yanji shows no segment over ~35%. Diversified demand = lower tail risk against any single market swing.
Temporary furniture storage during renovation — move back when done.
Inventory off-site, 24H access for restocking anytime.
Luggage, bedding, things you can't part with — all safely stored.
No need for a full warehouse. Inventory, accounting records, and contracts kept safely within their retention period.
Individual digital lock per unit with remote reset and instant PIN change — no physical keys.
Opt-in in-unit cameras with 24H live streaming, visible only to the tenant via their own app.
Maintains constant 55% humidity to protect clothing, documents, and valuables.
Building entrance integrated with smart access — non-tenants cannot enter. Dual-layer security.
All hardware connected via IoT hub to the cloud platform for unified management and remote control.
Asia is well-served by storage operators. What remains uncontested is the intersection of urban cabinet format, unmanned operation, and in-house technology. The matrix below maps the competitive terrain — not to rank operators, but to identify our position.
Stack three capabilities together. Miss one — others occupy this quadrant; miss two — and you're back in the crowded traditional market.
Same cabinet format but staffed on-site. Customer experience is good, but headcount caps scale velocity — and 24/7 access.
Mostly serves moves and enterprise inventory. Room-format with low unit price; little overlap with the micro demand we serve.
We are the next form of this industry: turning urban scarcity — underground space, late-night labour — from constraint into advantage.
We structure partnerships around what you bring — physical space, an established brand, or capital. Three deal architectures share one operating model and differ in cadence, exposure, and path.
You contribute the venue and capital; we deliver brand licensing, full technology stack, hardware sourcing, and the operating playbook.
For operators with an existing brand, venue, or customer base, we license the full unmanned technology stack under your own identity.
Co-fund individual venues on a per-unit basis or participate in upcoming Sparklands corporate rounds.
This category is often described as the fastest-growing in real estate. We frame it differently: its growth compounds because it rests on durable structural conditions of urban life. If your capital is long-duration, five considerations warrant attention.
Asia's self-storage grows at 15%+ annually. What matters isn't the pace itself but what supports it — housing, e-commerce, urbanisation. Constants that don't fade.
With no on-site staff, the cost structure simplifies dramatically. Steady-state operating margin sits at 55–65% — two to three times the equivalent metric for traditional storage.
From mobile app to IoT firmware, we wrote it all ourselves. That means no SaaS vendor lock-in — and new venue deployment runs on our timeline, not someone else's.
Replicating venues through franchise and system-license keeps headquarter capital burden manageable. Yet every venue runs the same backend — so scale does not dilute control.
Penetration below 1% looks like a gap. It is, in fact, timing. The US, Japan, and Singapore all walked the same curve from this exact starting point — and we are standing at its entrance.
A real moat is not a slogan. It is four capabilities stacked together — strip any one and you fall back to "old storage with an app on top." We unfold them here, from foundation to surface.
App, backend, IoT firmware, cloud — written by us. Custom-venue requirements that off-the-shelf SaaS cannot answer ship in seventy-two hours.
Cameras, locks, IoT hub, cloud, mobile — each piece is easy alone. Holding them together under unmanned conditions is the discipline that defines the moat.
Every rental, every access, every charge is written into the system as a real event. Each new venue makes pricing sharper and ramps faster — a body of evidence latecomers cannot inherit.
In Taipei, "self-storage" and "Spark Space" are already linked in search and word of mouth. A new venue inherits not a logo, but that trust — shortening the occupancy ramp by roughly thirty percent.
Expansion is not optimised for velocity. The Taipei flagship is stress-tested first, every operational edge case resolved. The same platform — adapted via different deal structures — then propagates to the next location, city, and market.
Yanji flagship opened; system, hardware, and business model validated in parallel. Occupancy reached steady-state with average tenancy of 12+ months and stable auto-renewal.
Multiple site evaluations and partnership talks underway with property holders and prospective franchisees across greater Taipei. Details shared post-NDA.
Franchise model fully opened; building Taiwan's first unmanned-storage brand network and standardised operating playbook.
System licensing enters high-density urban markets across Southeast Asia — Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines — graduating from a Taiwan brand into APAC infrastructure.
「裝潢那兩個月，三房的家具全塞進一個 XL 號倉位，比我想像的好放很多。APP 真的很方便，不用聯絡任何人。」
「電商庫存從家裡搬出來，一個 M 號倉位就解決了。24 小時可以進出，晚上補貨也沒問題，省了很多麻煩。」
「租倉流程全在 APP 上完成，連合約都是線上簽的。最喜歡手機開門這個功能，真的不需要帶任何東西。」
Rent, unlock, monitor — entirely from your phone.
Whether the path is franchise, system license, or co-investment, the first step is identical: a meeting, the full model on the table, every question answered. Judgement remains entirely yours.
