Generating more value for a real estate investment by optimizing underused parking spaces
Gecina is a residential and office company focused on real estate investment trust.
The company has the third-highest asset value among European REITs, the largest French SIIC by market cap and the second-largest publicly traded property company in France.
Almost all of its business comes from France where it dominates the Paris market.
Aside from Paris, it has traditionally been a large investor in Lyon.
Following the plan of shifting the strategy concerning Gecina's building in Rue Pré-Gaudry in Lyon, Gecina was in a position to optimize their current asset in this building during the change.
There were about 50 unused parking spaces in the building while residents and workers in the neighborhood were having trouble finding a spot to park their vehicles.
To better align with the CSR policy while getting more revenue on the parking, they were in need of a solution to help them optimize their unused parking spaces.
Value: Increase in revenue for parking
BePark, the parking operator specializing in helping parking owners generate added value on their underused assets, offered a customized solution to Gecina.
A steady stream of revenue generated from unused parking spaces is sent to Gecina every month, a result of partnering with BePark.
No parking assets are wasted in the building, residents and workers nearby also have a better parking experience.
