Mercer West, Leeds

Mercer West, Madison East is a cutting-edge community in the heart of Leeds' cultural quarter. The Bike Storage Company installed our space-efficient Two Tier Racks, allowing the development to provide exceptional bike storage and encourage active lifestyles for over 300 households.

The Project

mercer West Madison East is a striking new 333-unit build-to-rent development in one of Leeds' most vibrant neighbourhoods. This cultural hub takes residents away from the river Aire, arts venues, independent restaurants, retail, and more. With such a pedestrian-friendly location, providing ample on-site bike storage was crucial for enabling active lifestyles.

The Challenge

Our challenge was to create secure bike storage for over 300 apartments in a space-constrained city centre. We overcame this challenge by installing our Two Tier Bike Racks, which are tailored to Mercer West's needs and can accommodate hundreds of bikes. The racks are made from durable steel and maximise efficiency and ease of use through our Gas Assisted lifting, ensuring a hassle-free experience for all residents.

The Solution

The Bike Storage Company's Gas Assisted Two Tier Racks provided the perfect space-saving solution.

These innovative racks feature:

• Vertical bi-level design to double bike storage capacity
• Gas-assisted lifting for easy operational access to the upper-tier
• Easy-grip red powder-coated handles
• High-security locking points and bike separation in each space
• Quality hot-dipped galvanised steel construction with a 10-year warranty.

The Bike Storage Company could optimise every square foot of the designated bike storage spade by specifying this product.

Residents Benefits

Safe and plentiful bike storage enables Mercer West Madison East's community to fully embrace active, car-free lifestyles. Residents can walk, run, or cycle to nearby attractions instead of driving.

They enjoy:

• Secured bike parking just steps from their home
• User-friendly experience with assisted upper racks
• Added convenience from ground-level loading
• Peace of mind from bike locking points and durable construction

The prioritisation of bike parking promotes environmental sustainability while supporting the health and wellness of community members.

The Two Tier Advatange

The Two Tier Racks minimised the total footprint required for bike storage by maximising vertical bike storage capabilities. This opened more square footage for other residential amenities within the development's limited urban site.

The centralised storage areas and easy accessibility from racks encourage residents to cycle more often for daily commutes and recreational trips. This aligns perfectly with Mercer West Madison East's active listing environment within Leeds' cultural hot spot.

The Gas Assisted Two Tier Racks provided ample secure parking within the Mercer West Madison East development's space constraints. Residents can conveniently store bikes while taking advantage of the cultural quarter's amenities just steps away.
