Some landlords are making it easy for office workers to dash about, get lunch and run errands, all without the waits or ringing up ride-sharing charges.

A person walks near Ridy electric scooters docked outside 800 Fulton Market on June 27, 2022, in Chicago. Workers at the business center can now hop on e-scooters offered for free to tenants.

Electric scooters in the building give Brian Duffy peace of mind. A senior vice president with Stream Realty Partners, a tenant of 800 W. Fulton Market, he hops on one of the vehicles several times a week, often when a meeting is about to start, and wastes little time getting across town. An engineer turned entrepreneur, Medasani started Ridy in 2019 after visiting Seattle’s Pike Place Market, he added. It was there, after walking several blocks before finding an e-bike, that he realized office workers on the clock sometimes don’t have the time to track down available public vehicles or a hired car and needed another option.

JLL receives monthly reports from Ridy, and the data show riders from Aspen Dental, which leases about half the building, frequently travel to their second office several blocks away, while other riders venture as far as River North, sometimes in groups.The trips for April and May would have cost tenants about $2,000 if they used Ubers, she added, but saving money is only part of Ridy’s appeal. Like several of the newest office towers in Fulton Market, 800 W.

“During the summer months, I will hop on a scooter before I hop on a bus or a train,” he said. “It’s just quicker and easier.”
