Ropemaker Place

Ropemaker Place in the City of London is a 21 storey, 609,775 sq ft commercial office building.

With a rising demand for better end-of-trip facilities, we worked for Parkeray to transform the bike store, lockers and changing areas. The end result is a state of the art facility that enables tenants to safely run, walk, or cycle to work, or use their lunch hours for gym sessions.

A new total of just over 400 bicycle spaces, and around 500 locker spaces mean there is now ample secure cycle parking, and plenty of locker space for tenants to utilise.

Our 2ParkUp two-tier bike rack, powder coated to two different finishes, helps to designate areas for different tenants. The 2ParkUp features noise reduction to minimise disruption, and with rubber stops fully protects the bicycle from scratches.

Secure vertical racks, Sheffield stands, and folding bike lockers make up the remaining spaces, providing tenants with a variety of different storage options.

We also supplied and installed bike lock bars, an ironing locker, a bike repair station, and designated accessible parking spaces using Sheffield stands with tapper rails.

The LUOVA lockers feature a laminate finish that is both durable and functional. With some lockers in the changing areas with benches and shoe compartments, and others alongside the bike racks, they’re ideal either for extra cycling kit, or for other activewear storage.

We worked through different installation phases, operating within a busy loading bay. This meant adhering to rigid time frames and delivery windows, in constant communication with the client.

The end-of-trip facility at Ropemaker Place is a fine example of considerate design and planning for a truly active building.
