Sustainable Living Meets Smart Parking: ParkBee Partners with Poppies by MaMa Pioneers

When sustainable housing meets smart parking

When sustainable innovative housing meets smart parking solutions, magic happens.

We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with Poppies by MaMa Pioneers—Amsterdam Noord's groundbreaking sustainable living community that's redefining urban housing. This partnership brings together two companies committed to making urban living more sustainable, convenient, and community-focused.

About Poppies: Award-winning sustainable living

Located in the vibrant Buiksloterham district, Poppies represents a new model for urban housing. This creative urban oasis offers 103 eco-friendly homes designed around sustainability and community connection.

The development features multiple elements that distinguish it from traditional housing: a rooftop garden that provides green space and community gathering areas, dedicated co-working spaces for the flexible work arrangements modern residents need, and thoughtfully designed community amenities that encourage interaction and connection among residents.

The innovation and quality of this project have been recognized beyond Amsterdam—Poppies won the Coliving Awards 2024 for Construction Technology, validating the forward-thinking approach MaMa Pioneers has taken with this development.

ParkBee's role in the community

ParkBee manages the underground parking garage at Kaasjeskruidstraat 4, providing seamless parking solutions for this pioneering community through our smart technology platform.

For sustainable housing developments like Poppies, parking needs careful consideration. Residents need reliable access, but parking operations shouldn't create hassle or detract from the community experience. This is exactly where ParkBee's platform adds value—handling all parking complexity invisibly while residents enjoy straightforward access.

Why this collaboration works

The partnership between Poppies and ParkBee succeeds because of aligned values and complementary expertise:

Shared sustainability vision. Both companies prioritize environmental responsibility in everything they do. Poppies creates eco-friendly homes and sustainable living environments. ParkBee optimizes parking infrastructure utilization, reducing the need for new construction and helping cities function more efficiently.

Community-first approach. Residents deserve hassle-free parking as part of their lifestyle. Just as Poppies designs spaces that foster community connection, ParkBee provides parking that works seamlessly—residents never think about parking complications because our systems handle everything smoothly.

Innovation mindset. Combining cutting-edge sustainable housing with smart parking technology creates a complete modern living experience. Both organizations embrace technology to solve traditional urban challenges in new ways.

Amsterdam Noord expertise. ParkBee supports the transformation of this dynamic neighborhood. As Amsterdam Noord evolves into a vibrant residential and creative district, projects like Poppies lead that transformation, and ParkBee provides the mobility infrastructure that makes it work.

The resident experience at Poppies

Through ParkBee's platform, Poppies residents enjoy modern parking that matches the quality of their living environment:

Easy app-based access and payments. No cards, no tickets, no complexity. Residents access parking through their smartphones with straightforward interfaces that make parking invisible—exactly as it should be in premium housing.

Integrated community living experience. Parking integrates seamlessly into the broader Poppies experience. Just as residents enjoy rooftop gardens and co-working spaces without friction, they experience parking that simply works without requiring thought or attention.

Flexible hourly parking and monthly subscriptions. Different residents have different needs. Some need full-time parking, others occasional access, some want flexibility for visitors. ParkBee's platform accommodates all these scenarios, giving residents and their guests convenient options.

Representing the future of urban living

This partnership represents the future of urban living—where sustainable housing, community connection, and smart mobility solutions come together seamlessly.

Urban housing development increasingly recognizes that success requires more than just quality apartments. Residents expect complete lifestyle solutions that address how they live, work, and move through cities. Poppies delivers this through sustainable design, community spaces, and partnering with specialists like ParkBee who bring expertise in specific domains.

For ParkBee, Poppies represents the type of forward-thinking development we're excited to support. When housing developers prioritize sustainability, innovation, and resident experience, parking should enhance rather than detract from those values. Our platform enables exactly that.

Supporting Amsterdam Noord's transformation

Amsterdam Noord continues transforming from industrial area into a dynamic residential and creative district. Developments like Poppies lead this evolution, creating the housing and community spaces that attract residents to the area.

ParkBee plays a role in this transformation by ensuring parking infrastructure keeps pace with residential growth. As more people choose to live in Amsterdam Noord, parking must work efficiently without consuming excessive urban space or creating operational headaches for property managers.

By managing parking at developments like Poppies, ParkBee helps Amsterdam Noord grow sustainably—maximizing the utility of parking capacity while keeping operations simple for residents and property managers.

Congratulations to MaMa Pioneers

Congratulations to the entire MaMa Pioneers team for creating such an inspiring project. Winning the Coliving Awards 2024 for Construction Technology recognizes the innovation and quality you've brought to Poppies.

We're proud to be part of making city living more sustainable and convenient through our partnership. When sustainable housing meets smart parking solutions, the result is urban living that works better for residents, communities, and cities.
