Pohjantähti Uusimaa's lease was coming to an end in their former premises, and they felt these no longer optimally served the company's needs. Therefore, they decided to seek new office premises. The new space needed to be of high quality to receive clients and also be a pleasant environment for employees that supports their working processes.
Pohjantähti Uusimaa began their search for premises by googling various options. Among the options, they found several Bureau Commercial Premises listings which piqued their interest, leading them to submit a contact request to Bureau. An agent then contacted them and began identifying spaces that matched the company's needs.
"The agent understood our needs superbly and presented us with several suitable options," says Jukka Hämäläinen, a franchisee of Pohjantähti.
Premises were viewed in Haaga, Pitäjänmäki and Ruskeasuo. The number of options was affected by the company’s need for parking spaces. In many locations in the Helsinki area, parking is very limited. However, Bureau’s agent found promising options for Uudenmaan Pohjantähti.
"The process was very smooth; we viewed several different premises with the agent until we found one that suited our needs," states Jukka Hämäläinen.
The new premises were eventually found in Ruskeasuo at the Mansku 105 modern office building. The Mansku 105 complex consists of three buildings, the newest completed in 2007. It is situated at the beginning of Mannerheimintie, in an easily accessible location. Facilities include a lunch restaurant, reception services, and separately rentable meeting, sauna, and representative rooms.
Uudenmaan Pohjantähti found that using a Bureau agent saved them a great deal of time and opened doors to premises they might not otherwise have discovered. The company is happy to continue using Bureau's services should new space requirements arise.
"The first thing that comes to mind is efficiency; we certainly would not have found premises that work so well for us without an agent. It saves your own time and effort as the agent arranges viewings and searches for suitable properties for you," describes Jukka Hämäläinen.
