Space is costly, and generally, I feel that if a heavy-storage person moves into a shared/coworking space, that person will have to rethink what he/she really needs. Perhaps put all his/her product catalogs/samples in a shared library? Perhaps work more digitally? This one is easy to solve w/ an onsite high-speed scanner. I've had lawyers in here who use this strategy.
