Why Mobility Is a Major Business Opportunity for Real Estate Owners

Mobility is, at its core, about the movement of people and goods from one place to another. And right now, society is undergoing a dramatic shift in how mobility is organised — driven largely by the need to reduce harmful emissions in urban environments. As cities move away from fossil-fuel-based transport, future streetscapes will no longer prioritise private car traffic and on-street parking. They will prioritise public transportation, electric mobility, and people.

This shift gives parking garages an entirely new role: from static storage spaces to dynamic mobility hubs.

For property owners and operators who already manage parking facilities, this marks the beginning of a significant new business opportunity.

Turn Your Parking Garages Into Revenue-Generating Mobility Hubs

If you own or manage parking assets, you already control the two most valuable components needed to become a mobility hub:

1. The physical infrastructure — your garages
2. A built-in customer base — your tenants and visitors

By reimagining your parking bays as flexible mobility spaces, you open the door to offering a wide range of modern mobility services, such as:

• Integrated EV charging (billing combined with the parking subscription)
• Designated delivery zones for e-commerce and grocery drop-offs
• Shared mobility, such as car-sharing fleets
• Micromobility, including e-bikes and e-scooters for short-distance travel

“You create entirely new revenue streams — while your tenants enjoy a seamless, single point of interaction.”

The Demand for Mobility Services Is Growing Rapidly

According to DI’s report “Mobility Insights #1”, 11 out of 12 regional council chairs state that their region already has a mobility or transport strategy aimed at shifting toward more sustainable travel.

A strong example comes from the City of Malmö, whose new policy redefines municipal parking garages into mobility hubs — underlining how quickly this development is accelerating.

To Unlock Mobility Services, You Need a Parking Management System

To deliver mobility services at scale, you must be able to manage your parking assets dynamically. That means:

• Full visibility of all parking spaces
• The ability to reallocate areas as needs evolve
• Automated administration (queues, billing, contract handling)
• Efficient scaling without increasing the administrative workload

A robust Parking Management System makes this possible.

Provide All Mobility Services Through One Unified Platform

Customers increasingly expect smooth, integrated digital experiences.
By gathering all your services — parking, EV charging, mobility rentals, deliveries — into a single app or online portal, you create:

• A simple, unified customer journey
• Faster onboarding
• Higher tenant satisfaction
• Stronger loyalty and retention

Business Development or Outsourcing? Choose Growth.

When demand for new services rises quickly, many property owners choose to outsource — especially when it comes to EV charging. But there is a powerful alternative:

Develop the service internally.

This allows you to:

• Capture the full revenue potential
• Own the customer relationship
• Control pricing, quality, and experience
• Build long-term competitiveness

All you need is:

1. The right knowledge
2. A modern system that handles operations, billing, contracts, usage rights, and integrations

The business opportunities are already there — if you're ready to take them.

Are You Ready to Turn Your Parking Garages Into High-Value Mobility Hubs?

For property owners, mobility is no longer a cost centre — it is a strategic opportunity. The shift toward sustainable transport means garages can evolve into the most valuable space in the building.

The question is: Will you outsource the opportunity, or will you own it?
