Crafthouse Ltd's previous premises had become cramped and no longer met the company's needs. The company was seeking new, cleaner and more functional premises.
The company initiated its premises search by exploring new spaces through the toimitilat.fi service. Crafthouse wanted to remain within its familiar area in Helsinki's Pitäjänmäki. The new premises needed to be flexible in layout, include a small storage area and provide parking spaces for staff.
“At first, we weren’t completely sure what we wanted from new premises. Whether we wanted exclusive space, shared facilities, or some kind of combination,” says Sami Nurmisto, CEO of Crafthouse Oy.
Several premises were viewed in properties located in Pitäjänmäki and one in Ruskeasuo. Suitable commercial premises were limited as the company required multiple parking spaces, which was difficult to accommodate given the office space size and desired location.
“Bureau actively presented us with several different options and helped us clarify what we want from office premises. Among the choices, we found a solution that perfectly meets our needs and is cost-effective,” comments Nurmisto.
The new premises were ultimately found at Atomitie 5 in Pitäjänmäki, offering an excellent location for companies seeking to combine various operations under one roof. Atomitie has a wide range of office and warehouse spaces available, as well as ample parking relative to the area. Crafthouse will move into the new premises at the beginning of June.
"I would absolutely consider outsourcing the entire premises search process to Bureau in the future. The agent's approach was very proactive, and the service was fast and highly efficient," describes Sami Nurmisto.
