100,001 Cars Off the Street: ParkBee & Xior Student Housing Expand to 15+ Locations

100,001 cars off the street with Xior

We're proud to celebrate the continued growth of our partnership with Xior Student Housing, the leading pan-European student housing provider. What started as 1 pilot location and a shared commitment to a more sustainable future has now expanded to over 15 locations—and counting.

Today, we've provided hundreds of thousands of cars with a more sustainable and convenient alternative to on-street parking. Since the partnership began, ParkBee has delivered 136,000 transactions across Xior properties, demonstrating the scale and success of this collaboration.

Why Xior chose ParkBee

Xior understands exactly what today's students need: high-quality, reliable spaces where they can live, work, and study in comfort close to city centers. Student housing near urban cores presents a familiar challenge—valuable parking capacity that requires smart management to serve residents while optimizing underutilized spaces.

ParkBee brought Xior the capabilities to transform their parking from a resident amenity into an optimized asset. Our platform ensures Xior residents always have priority access while ParkBee monetizes excess capacity by connecting it to urban drivers seeking alternatives to expensive on-street parking.

The pilot location proved the model worked. ParkBee delivered resident satisfaction alongside new revenue, with zero operational burden for Xior's property management teams. Based on those results, Xior expanded the partnership to 15+ locations across their European portfolio.

What ParkBee delivers to student housing

At ParkBee, our mission is clear: get cars off the streets and give space back to the cities. For student housing providers like Xior, this mission aligns perfectly with their operational needs and sustainability commitments.

ParkBee provides comprehensive parking optimization that addresses student housing challenges:

Resident priority with commercial optimization. Students need reliable parking access. ParkBee's technology ensures residents always have availability while we simultaneously open excess capacity to public users. The 136,000 transactions we've processed include both resident usage and commercial parking—all managed seamlessly without operational conflicts.

Zero property management burden. Xior's teams focus on student experience and property operations. ParkBee handles all parking complexity—technology infrastructure, dynamic pricing, user acquisition, customer support, and payment processing. Properties gain revenue without dedicating staff resources to parking management.

Sustainable urban impact. Every car that parks in a Xior facility through ParkBee's network is one less vehicle circling streets searching for spots. With over 100,000 cars using Xior parking through our platform, that's substantial impact on urban congestion and emissions.

Proven scalability across portfolios. Starting from 1 pilot location to 15+ properties demonstrates ParkBee's model scales efficiently. Once Xior validated the approach at one property, expanding across their portfolio was straightforward—each new location benefits from proven systems and processes.

From pilot to portfolio partnership

The growth from 1 location to 15+ tells an important story about ParkBee's approach. We prove value before asking for expansion. The pilot location demonstrated measurable results: resident satisfaction maintained, new revenue generated, operations simplified, and sustainability impact quantified.

Based on that success, Xior chose to expand ParkBee across their portfolio. Each property now benefits from technology and demand generation that Xior couldn't build independently. The 136,000 transactions represent not just usage volume but consistent operational performance across diverse locations and markets.

For student housing providers evaluating parking optimization, this progression matters. ParkBee doesn't require portfolio-wide commitments upfront. We prove results at pilot scale, then scale proven models across properties systematically.

Creating smarter, more liveable cities

Together, we're creating smarter, more liveable urban areas, bringing students closer to city centers while keeping sustainability front and center. Student housing near urban cores serves an important function—providing affordable accommodation for students who need proximity to universities and city amenities.

When student housing parking operates efficiently, multiple objectives align. Students get reliable parking access. Properties generate additional revenue. Cities benefit from reduced on-street parking pressure as drivers discover convenient off-street alternatives. Urban sustainability improves as 100,000+ cars find parking efficiently rather than circling streets.

This alignment demonstrates why forward-thinking student housing providers like Xior choose ParkBee. We're not just optimizing parking—we're supporting their mission to provide quality student accommodation while contributing to urban sustainability goals.

The opportunity for student housing providers

Xior's expansion from 1 to 15+ locations reflects a broader opportunity for student housing providers across Europe. If your properties have parking facilities near city centers, you likely have capacity that could generate revenue while serving urban drivers seeking alternatives to expensive on-street parking.

ParkBee brings proven capabilities specifically relevant to student housing:

Experience managing resident priority alongside commercial usage, ensuring student satisfaction remains paramount. Technology infrastructure that handles high transaction volumes—as evidenced by 136,000 transactions across Xior properties—without operational burden. Demand generation connecting your facilities to millions of urban drivers through our extensive platform network. Portfolio scalability allowing you to start with pilot locations and expand systematically based on results.
