Offices with backup power supply - the main trend of requests.
Work without power supply interruptions
At the beginning of October, Ukrenergo implemented a power cut to stabilize the power system. Since there are no clear shutdown schedules, this had an extremely negative impact on the organization of work processes in all areas of business.
Planned and emergency blackouts started the trend of employees returning to work in offices.
Renting offices with generators is the most common rental request today, because the situation with energy supply is tense and the risks of blackouts and frequent blackouts require looking for opportunities to organize the work process and provide offices with uninterrupted Internet, power supply and heat.
Business center owners are actively preparing, some have already prepared to ensure uninterrupted power supply of offices.
Offices in which there is heat, there are no interruptions in the power supply, communication and the Internet, quickly find their tenants.
During the month, we investigated the preparation of BC for blackouts.
And we selected some of the best offers for comfortable work.
Some business centers have several independent power lines, and when there is no power in one line, they switch automatically to another. Business centers are also equipped with generators and bomb shelters. A significant number of BC owners have stocked up on water and everything necessary in case of a complete blackout.
As an example, business centers in the Shevchenkiv district on the territory of the Unit.city business park, a business center near the Dorogozhitska West Side metro station,
on Podil "Ilyinsky", Astarta, offices on Pechersk in business centers Senator, Summit.
In the Holosiiv district, these are offices in the business centers "Europassage", BC "Grand" (metro "Olimpiyska"), BC "Mag.net.", City Garden, Viktorija park (offices near the metro Vasylkivska) - where offices with renovation and furniture, fully prepared for work.
A separate category of business centers are facilities with autonomous heating and autonomous power supply (offices with diesel generators).
Today, everyone has their own front of work and our task is to help companies choose offices with minimal risks of work interruptions, offices with backup power supply, heat supply, and uninterrupted Internet.
Due to massive Russian strikes on critical infrastructure, Ukraine lives from blackout to blackout. This is another test for the country's main exporter of IT services
We often hear from clients that working in the office is more comfortable for them today. Often, when there is no light in the city, there is no light, and the office is warm, the Internet works, coffee is brewed, and in general, all the conditions for comfortable work are created.
The environment plays a big role. When you see motivated and inspired people around you, despite everything, you find the strength to move forward and achieve your goals.
How companies adapt in the chaos of blackouts:
The most relevant option is to rent office premises where the owners have fully taken over the provision of uninterrupted operation of the business center
Stocked up with diesel generators and uninterruptible power supplies for office equipment. Portable charging stations are purchased.
If BC does not give permission to install its own diesel generator and does not provide the necessary power in the event of power outages, look for another room.
One of the most urgent needs is a stable Internet. They conclude agreements with several providers. Several backup lines are provided.
Starlink is satellite internet. But, as a rule, optical providers are trusted more. Starlink may sometimes not work for technical reasons.
Stock up on food and water. Business centers, for their part, also stockpile technical and drinking water, equip bomb shelters. Bio-toilets are being installed.
