Over 1,000 Cars at Zandkasteel Last Weekend: Peak Demand in Amsterdam Zuidoost

Another busy weekend in Zuidoost

Over 1,000 cars parked at Zandkasteel last weekend. That time of year has arrived again, full of energy and entertainment. Last weekend, despite some events being cancelled due to unfortunate news, the ArenA area in Amsterdam Zuidoost stayed vibrant, with parking demand remaining sky-high.

Thanks to ParkBee's collaboration with Zandkasteel, visitors parked smoothly and efficiently across the weekend, guided directly to available spots through our platform.

Zuidoost's growth creates parking opportunity

Zuidoost is growing fast. As new developments take shape and cultural events become more frequent, the pressure on mobility increases. While public transport can move over 10,000 people per hour, cars still play a vital role in getting people to and from this thriving neighbourhood.

For property owners in the area, this growth translates directly to parking demand. Every concert at the ArenA, every match, every event drives hundreds—sometimes thousands—of vehicles into Zuidoost looking for convenient parking. That's revenue opportunity sitting in your facility if you have the right infrastructure to capture it.

ParkBee makes capturing peak demand simple

At ParkBee, we believe better use of existing infrastructure is key, especially for addressing peak demand. Rather than letting your parking sit empty most weekdays while missing revenue during events, ParkBee connects your facility to the drivers who need it.

By opening up private garages through our platform, we create smart, flexible parking solutions without extra construction and hassle. You already have the parking spaces. ParkBee brings everything else: the demand from millions of drivers across our network, the technology to manage high-volume traffic efficiently, the operations to handle bookings, access, and payments, and the pricing optimization that maximizes your revenue.

What 1,000+ cars means for your facility

When Zandkasteel handles over 1,000 cars during an event weekend through ParkBee's platform, that's substantial revenue from capacity that generates nothing when it sits empty.

If your facility is in Zuidoost near the ArenA, you face the same demand patterns. Most of the time, your parking sits partially utilized. But during events—dozens per year—demand spikes dramatically. Without ParkBee, you either leave money on the table or invest in complex systems to manage occasional high volumes.

ParkBee handles the complexity. Our platform manages real-time capacity, directs drivers to available spaces, processes payments automatically, and adjusts pricing based on demand. Your facility captures revenue during every event without operational burden or technology investment.

The Zuidoost opportunity

Property owners throughout Amsterdam Zuidoost have parking assets that could generate significant income during the area's regular events. Every facility within reasonable distance of the ArenA district experiences demand spikes that ParkBee can monetize.

The question is whether you're capturing that revenue or watching potential income drive past your facility to competitors who've connected to ParkBee's network. Zandkasteel recognized the opportunity. Other property owners in the area are joining ParkBee's network. The district's growth will continue driving parking demand—you can either participate or observe.
