Parcus and Local partnerships

• Partnership with SERS (the semi-public urban development and public works company for the Strasbourg region)

In 2018, Parcus and SERS entered into partnership, creating a joint subsidiary to acquire, build and manage car parks.

As specialist local operators, they seek to achieve synergies together by ensuring that car parking and urban development issues are tackled as a whole.

• Partnership with Crédit Mutuel

Parcus and the Crédit Mutuel bank created a joint limited company for the construction of the Coubertin car park (740 spaces) in Strasbourg’s new business quarter in Wacken.

• Partnership with the Strasbourg Agency for Urban Development and Design (ADEUS)

Parcus is an associate member of ADEUS. The two parties have entered into an agreement for the implementation of a car parking observatory for the city of Strasbourg.

ADEUS analyses and applies data supplied by Parcus on car parks and on-street parking.

The first report based on this data was published in 2017.

• Parcus is a shareholder and director of Strasbourg Mobilités

One of the key missions of Strasbourg Mobilités is to promote bike use.

The aim of its partnership with Parcus is to encourage the combined use of bikes and parking and to combine reflection on these aspects.
