Case Studies
Falco has completed the manufacture, supply and installation of a bespoke FalcoHub cycle hub at Cambridge Business Park, delivered on behalf of The Crown Estate. The new facility forms a key part of the business park’s commitment to supporting active travel and providing high-quality amenities for its community of occupiers.
Located in North Cambridge, Cambridge Business Park is one of the region’s most prominent commercial destinations, – home to a wide range of leading technology, science, financial and professional services organisations housing several previous Falco installations. With excellent transport links to Cambridge North station, the Guided Busway, and local cycling routes, the park has a strong emphasis on sustainable access and modern workplace infrastructure.
The new 12.5m x 6m bespoke FalcoHub has been designed to meet the park’s high specification standards and rising demand for secure cycle parking. Inside, the hub accommodates 86 bicycles using Falco’s proven FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier cycle rack, offering space efficiency and ease of use for daily commuters. To ensure inclusivity for all cyclists, the hub also features two Sheffield stands, providing dedicated parking for four non-standard cycles, including cargo bikes, adaptive cycles or larger frame designs.
Supporting on-site cyclist independence, the installation includes a FalcoFix 2.0 public repair station, allowing riders to complete essential maintenance, adjustments and quick fixes while on the go. The users also have the luxury of a robust pump for any tyre pressure adjustments that are required on the go.
The external design of the hub reflects both sustainability and architectural quality. The structure is built from a robust, hot-dip galvanised steel frame finished with FSC® certified hardwood cladding, creating a warm, contemporary appearance that integrates seamlessly with the business park surroundings. To further enhance environmental performance, the roof features a green sedum system, improving biodiversity and reducing rainwater run-off, while cutting edge solar-powered lighting provides illumination without reliance on mains electricity further reducing carbon footprint.
The completed cycle hub delivers a secure, attractive and future-focused active-travel asset for Cambridge Business Park, supporting The Crown Estate’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, wellbeing and high-quality amenity provision across its portfolio.
