Safe and user-friendly bicycle parking has become an important factor for tenants considering new office space. With an increasing focus on sustainable transport solutions, there are demands from real estate to facilitate cycling.
REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFICE SPACE: Nora Brinchmann in Malling is experiencing an increased demand for facilities that give employees increased well-being and effect on the company's sustainability profile.
-Tenants are increasingly looking for office space that combines functionality and sustainability. They want facilities such as changing rooms and showers of a high standard, and preferably with associated services such as bicycle service and maintenance. For many, this is crucial for the well-being of the employees and for the company's sustainability profile, says Nora Brinchmann at Malling.
The solutions must ensure both safety and user-friendliness, and they must make it easy for employees to choose the bicycle as their preferred means of transport.
Collaboration is key to finding the best solutions for bicycle parking. -We want to be a sparring partner for real estate who want to facilitate cycling. Good bicycle 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 convenient cycling day. Our goal is to make cycling a natural and attractive part of everyday life, says Hedda Heyerdahl, founder of Bikeloop.

Location and sustainability provide competitive advantage
Location also plays an important role in tenants' choice of premises. Buildings with easy access to public transport and cycle paths are becoming increasingly attractive. Real estate players who combine good locations with modern and user-friendly facilities position themselves strongly in the competition for the tenants of the future.
For the real estate, this is about understanding the tenants' needs and adapting their offers to meet new requirements for sustainability and flexibility. By investing in solutions that facilitate cycling, they can create more attractive and future-oriented office environments.
-Today, the office must attract employees and be perceived as more attractive than the home office. Then it must be both easy to get to and from, in addition to creating good experiences. Many tenants want to create the office with a distinctive character and identity, while at the same time it must be adapted to the work tasks and strengthen cohesion. Central location, sustainable solutions, as well as varied and well-thought-out content are therefore in focus when choosing new offices, says Brinchmann.
