Convenient office options close to the metro or a public transport hub
Companies are ready to pay as much as 30-40% more for their new office lease with a train station located within a few hundred meters distance, a Danish survey report documented a few years ago.
Appealing office properties are growing even more attractive by the proximity to a metro station and other public transport options.
Rising traffic density and increasing parking prices, in particular, make it attractive for office workers to seek employment with companies close to a metro line.
Recently, a US study has shown how proximity to stations and easy access to public transport can also give the owners of these commercial properties often extremely favourable value developments.
