Bredvid | RĂĄdhusgata 30
About the Customer
Industry: Consulting
Employees: 25–30
Location: Oslo City Center
Challenge and Result
Bredvid was well-situated in a shared office near Spikersuppa but had matured as a company and felt the need to move into something more their own. They had a lease with a six-month rolling notice period and were waiting for the perfect traditional office to become available.
The CEO discovered Spacefinder through marketing, and after exploring the office marketplace, which is tailored for small and medium-sized businesses, she found several suitable options and wanted to schedule viewings. One of Spacefinder’s advisors coordinated the viewings, and shortly after, the company signed a lease for an office at Christiania Torv with Wahl Eiendom, perfect for the company’s next chapter.
We at Bredvid have had a very positive experience with Spacefinder during our search for new office space. Lauritz and the team have been professional, accessible, and very solution-oriented throughout the process. They understood early on what we were looking for and helped us find offices that perfectly fit our needs and growth ambitions. We highly recommend Spacefinder to other companies seeking new office space.

Arealize | Wergelandsveien 1
About the Customer
Industry: AI / Proptech
Employees: 8–10
Location: Vika / Pilestredet
Challenge and Result
Arealize’s lease in a shared office on Tjuvholmen was ending, and renewal was not possible as the landlord planned renovations. About six months before the lease expired, they started exploring the office market for new premises. The challenge was that the office market quickly became confusing, with many actors and contact points. That’s when Spacefinder stepped in.
Spacefinder primarily helped filter out options that didn’t meet their needs and arranged viewings for a selection of relevant offices. After a few visits, Arealize found an office that suited both their requirements and desired location – at ROM Kontorfellesskap, a concept developed by KLP.
Very satisfied that we used Spacefinder during our search for new office space. Professional, efficient, and friendly people!

Notar | Nedre Slottsgate 8
About the Customer
Industry: Real Estate
Employees: 2 (Oslo administration office)
Location: Kvadraturen
Challenge and Result
Notar is a real estate agency with offices across Norway. They have an administration office in Ă…lesund but wanted to establish one in Oslo after hiring staff there. They were looking for an office for two employees with flexible lease terms to accommodate planned growth.
Notar discovered Spacefinder on LinkedIn and quickly realized that submitting their office needs to a Spacefinder advisor would yield a prompt list of suitable options. After selecting some offices for viewing, they quickly signed a lease for an office in Kvadraturen at House of Business that met all their needs, especially regarding good meeting facilities and flexibility.
We used Spacefinder to find new office space in Oslo, and the process was both efficient and organized. Great follow-up throughout, quick responses, and relevant options that matched our needs. Highly recommended for anyone searching for office space.

Trident | Karenslyst Allé 10
About the Customer
Industry: Shipping
Employees: 4 (Oslo office)
Location: Skøyen
Challenge and Result
Trident met one of Spacefinder’s advisors at the coffee machine in a shared office on Tjuvholmen. Their lease was ending, and they wanted to explore new office opportunities in Oslo. They had already seen several options themselves, but nothing fully met their needs and preferences.
After receiving a few more suggestions, including an office in a brand-new shared office on Skøyen, things moved incredibly fast. A viewing was quickly arranged, and a new lease was signed at Inc Works’ new office community on Karenslyst Allé.
Very friendly, professional, and fast. Got me a new office within a week of contact.
– Ove Paulsen, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Trident Aqua Services AS

Location: Kvadraturen
Challenge and Result
CEO Kari describes both the challenge and result of the process very well. We greatly appreciate such positive feedback. If you are also looking for a new office, you are warmly welcome to contact one of Spacefinder’s advisors here.
Proactive, professional, flexible, and good at understanding needs. We were looking for a location in Oslo city center and happened upon a listing by Spacefinder. It wasn’t a perfect match, but after a few weeks, Spacefinder came back with a couple of options, one of which was a perfect match in terms of location, price, standard, and size. Great experience!
