Aarni

Aarni's space requirement emerged in early 2021 when they gradually began exploring potential premises options. The search became active in spring when new commercial premises were actively sought.

As Aarni's business grew, the old premises became too small. They wanted premises within Helsinki's inner city area. The facilities needed to include office space, storage/packing space, and good logistical connections for easy goods transportation. The preference was for premises at street level or accessible via a goods lift.

"We began our search for commercial premises on Oikotie, where the situation was like the Wild West of property spaces. I hadn't anticipated that many agents would be handling the same premises, making it challenging to know whom to contact," says Niklas Tuokko, CEO of Aarni.

Aarni found an interesting office space listing on Oikotie and submitted a contact request to Bureau about the property. Bureau’s agent quickly contacted the client and proceeded to advance the project.

"The added value brought by Bureau’s agent to the premises search was evident from the early stages of the process. He mapped our space requirements and found excellent office options. We saved time by communicating through a single contact person. The agent managed communications with the owners and arranged viewings smoothly," says Tuokko.

Aarni found new commercial premises in Helsinki's Kamppi district. The ground-floor office with convenient delivery options perfectly met Aarni's spatial requirements. The reasonable rent level of the property also facilitated the leasing decision.

“Based on this rental experience, we can recommend Bureau’s services to other companies seeking commercial premises. We received prompt and smooth service from our agent,” describes Niklas Tuokko.

The added value brought by Bureau's agent to the search for premises became particularly clear in the initial stages of the process. They assessed our space requirements and presented excellent commercial space options. We saved our own time by dealing with just one contact person. The agent managed all communications with the owners and arranged viewings smoothly.
