Five years of certainty. Zero years of lock-in.

Most landlords ask startups to commit before they’re ready. We do the opposite. Tech Park Basel offers 5-year contracts – but only we are bound by them. You keep short notice periods to scale down, give space back, or expand as your business evolves.

The result: the planning security of a long-term lease, with the agility of a month-to-month arrangement. No rigid frameworks. No exit penalties. Just contracts built around your reality – not ours.

	Need to consolidate?	Hit a growth spurt?	Pivoting your model?
	Give space back with short notice. Keep your address, keep your network.	Add labs or offices as you grow. No renegotiation drama.	Adjust your footprint without breaking your contract. We adapt with you.

	Typical Landlord	Tech Park Basel
Contract length	3–10 years	5 years
Your exit flexibility	Locked in, expensive to break	Short notice periods
Space adjustment	Full contract renegotiation	Scale up or down as needed
Risk balance	Tenant bears most risk	We carry the long-term risk – you stay agile
