Smart bike parking makes office spaces more attractive

REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFICE SPACES: Nora Brinchmann at Malling is experiencing increased demand for facilities that enhance employee well-being and impact the company's sustainability profile.

-Tenants are increasingly looking for office spaces that combine functionality and sustainability. They want high-standard facilities such as changing rooms and showers, preferably with associated services like bike maintenance and support. For many, this is crucial for employee well-being and the company's sustainability profile, says Nora Brinchmann at Malling.

The solutions must ensure both safety and user-friendliness, making it easy for employees to choose biking as their preferred mode of transportation.

Collaboration is key to finding the best solutions for bike parking. – We want to be a sparring partner for property developers who want to facilitate cycling. Good bike parking is not just about location, but about creating a holistic experience that both engages the cyclist and contributes to a simpler, smarter, and more practical cycling everyday life. Our goal is to make cycling a natural and attractive part of everyday life, says Hedda Heyerdahl, founder of Bikeloop.

Location and sustainability provide a competitive advantage

Location also plays an important role in tenants' choice of spaces. Buildings with easy access to public transport and bike paths are becoming increasingly attractive. Property players who combine good locations with modern and user-friendly facilities position themselves strongly in the competition for future tenants.

For property developers, this is about understanding tenants' needs and adapting their offerings to meet new demands for sustainability and flexibility. By investing in solutions that facilitate cycling, they can create more attractive and future-oriented office environments.

-Today, offices must attract employees and be perceived as more appealing than home offices. It must be easy to commute to and from the office, in addition to creating good experiences. Many tenants want to create offices with character and identity, while also being suited for work tasks and strengthening camaraderie. Central location, sustainable solutions, as well as varied and thoughtful content are therefore the focus when choosing new offices, says Brinchmann.
