KaratShield Secure Vault today announced the completion of a major expansion at its flagship Bay Street facility in Toronto, increasing certified high-security vault capacity by 40%.

The expansion adds new biometric-secured chambers, additional climate-controlled fine art storage, and a dedicated logistics bay for armored transport handoffs. The project responds to accelerating demand from Canadian family offices and institutional clients seeking alternatives to traditional bank safety deposit boxes amid heightened interest in physical precious metals allocation.

"This expansion reflects both the trust our clients place in us and the broader shift toward independently held, insured physical asset storage," said KaratShield's Chief Operating Officer. "Every additional square foot meets the same military-grade specification as our original vault."

The newly commissioned space is fully operational and available for new and existing client allocations immediately.
