The myhive leasing concept offers flexibility, which is further increasing in importance for major tenants in the current environment.

THE LOCATION

The modern office location of myhive Haller Gardens is situated in the Budapest district of South Pest, a popular area with a growing demand and a high occupancy level. Whoever enters myhive Haller Gardens for the first time will be impressed. The linear, minimalistic window facades meet nature: the planted inner courtyard with a water installation is a small oasis, very popular with tenants, in the midst of the working community.

On an area of around 34,300 sqm, myhive Haller Gardens not only has extensive office spaces, but also boasts a planted roof terrace, inner courtyards and terraces with a view of the Danube. That offers plenty of room for tenants to

THE EXPERIENCE

“Thanks to its location, its fittings, and our comprehensive service and community offer, myhive Haller Gardens receives very good feedback from tenants,” says Country Manager of IMMOFINANZ Hungary Viktor Nagy. He and his team conduct regular surveys among their tenants and integrate the feedback into their offer. The objective is to create an ideal working environment in a pleasant and safe atmosphere.

“We know that our tenants are preparing individually to return to work in their offices, adjusting the conditions and mode of work on the occupied areas in our properties. The task we set ourselves is to ensure maximum security in all public and common areas, in every office building, introducing appropriate solutions and procedures. Among them will be, among other things, new rules for using elevators, along with the designation of places to wait for the elevator and to regularly disinfect all touch elements (every two hours). This also includes the resumption of the community-building aspect, which is the hallmark of the myhive office brand that has been successfully rolled out by our company for more than three years,” continues Nagy.

“Every day errands should be made easier, and the work-life balance improved. The services at myhive Haller Gardens include parcel delivery, flower delivery, and much more. This allows tenants to concentrate on other things. Tenants’ wishes can vary strongly from location to location; at myhive Haller Gardens, for example, there is strong demand for sporting facilities, so we have a popular fitness club here.”

More offers are currently being planned, such as an additional conference room, and a new flexible parking system, which is already being implemented.

“After the restrictions driven by COVID-19 are removed, we will start

the modernization of the frontage and lobby this year, as well as the common areas, the restaurant and cafe, but the garden will also be renewed and we will implement major energy and technical improvements as well,” says Nagy.

These events will continue to be important for community building, and we were happy to see that our tenants welcomed our online events during COVID-19 as much as our live events before. The myhive app is one of the most important communication tools with tenants, as it informs them about events and services on a daily basis. Tenants can chat with each other and sign up for upcoming events and activities, and it is used regularly by more than 1,000 users in myhive Haller Gardens alone. Our Facebook group has several thousand users. That demonstrates the very active and growing community at the Haller Gardens location, a trend that has been fostered during the Covid-19 epidemic.

SECURITY AND FLEXIBILITY

The current economic environment will create a higher demand for safe and more flexible workspace, therefore our office brand implements protective measures in its buildings, such as special covers at reception desks or safe distance lines. Cards and passes for tenants’ guests in a given building will be disinfected after each use. On top, additional disinfectant dispensers (over those that already exist) will be installed in the building lobby and other common areas.

Another new aspect is increased flexibility for all tenants. Myhives’ new features, coming in fall will offer a modern and attractive workspace of any size and on flexible terms. This will

help tenants to provide a workspace that suits their employees, whether they need a fixed desk, more space to have their employees sit with a safe distance or to work from different myhive locations.

Also, the myhive app will soon be able to do much more. The new update will give tenants more flexibility, for example by allowing individual workspaces and meeting rooms to be booked spontaneously by app – also in other myhive locations. All of these services place the focus clearly on the tenants and their staff, and Nagy is convinced that is behind the success of the brand.

“It is important to provide tenants with different offers, so that they can position themselves as attractive employers and thus attract talented staff. For this reason, we also cooperate closely with their HR managers and managing directors,” he explains. Thanks to myhive services, tenants do not need to worry about community building for their employees. “And all of this comes without any additional costs, as these extras are included in the rent,” says Nagy.

Since companies have to be increasingly flexible, there will now also be shorter terms for rental contracts. Companies grow and shrink in phases, and their workspaces should be able to adapt flexibly to these circumstances. This is now possible with myhive. “We therefore have our finger firmly on the pulse, and are meeting the demands of our tenants,” Nagy says in summary of the new features.
