Districts
Infrastructure that makes places thrive.
Reimagining How Our Districts Come Alive
Every great district has its own rhythm, shaped by the people, storefronts, and shared spaces that give a neighborhood its character. As expectations rise for safer, cleaner, and more dynamic streets, districts need infrastructure that reflects the same energy and diversity of the people who bring them to life.
Oonee helps reimagine how these spaces work for everyone — transforming curbs, plazas, and corridors into secure, beautiful, and functional destinations. Our approach blends design, mobility, and placemaking to support local businesses and strengthen the daily experience for visitors, workers, delivery riders, and tenants alike.
Designed for Community Impact
Enhance the public realm experience
All of our amenities improve daily life with thoughtful amenities including greenery and other placemaking to create vibrant spaces.
Support local commerce and businesses
By making it easier to walk, ride, and linger, our stations increase foot traffic and dwell time, helping local businesses thrive, reducing congestion.
Simplify and modernize operations & management
Our software unlocks data for your property team to better manage and track the day-to-day, guaranteeing cleanliness and reliability all year round.
Strengthen your district identity in the community
Every site will be customized to reflect your district brand creating a feeling of cohesion, distinction, and comfort.
Hardware & Services
Each project combines modular design with full-service delivery — making it simple for districts to lean on us to deliver everything from planning recommendations to installation to long-term maintenance.
Whether activating a retail corridor, reimagining a waterfront, or improving safety near transit, our hardware lineup offers secure, durable, and visually refined flexible infrastructure that fits seamlessly into your space. Each unit can be customized with branding that reflect the identity of your district and the community you serve.
Data & Reporting
Every one of our installations comes with our management platform that helps properties make data-driven operational decisions. We verify each user that joins our platform, making it easy to both protect against theft and track active revenue, utilization, and engagement.
Monitor and download reports on other live data including, but not limited to, charging usage, carbon savings, and more.
Our Process
Every district is distinct, so our process is built around flexibility. We make sure each project aligns with your public realm goals and brand. From planning to activation, we provide a turnkey solution that makes improving your district’s public spaces seamless and impactful.
1. Discovery and Planning
We start by understanding the vision and priorities of your district — the communities you serve, the mix of streets and public spaces, and the operational realities of managing active environments. Our in-house team of planners and designers works closely with your staff to analyze circulation, demand, and character to identify the most effective locations and configurations for each installation.
Site evaluation: Review sidewalks, plazas, and business traffic to identify high-visibility, high-impact opportunities that support safety and commerce.
Integration analysis: Assess power access, pedestrian flow, and existing street furniture to ensure sites enhance instead of compete with current assets.
Concept strategy: Develop siting concepts and visual mockups that illustrate how each unit strengthens the district’s identity and complements ongoing projects.
2. Design and Configuration
Once sites are confirmed, we collaborate with your design, planning, and communications teams to ensure every detail reflects your district’s brand and goals. From finishes to lighting, every installation is customized to align with the surrounding streetscape. This includes:
Custom finishes: Select materials, colors, and graphics that reflect your district’s visual identity.
Fabrication drawings: Provide detailed documentation to coordinate easily with consultants, property owners, city agencies, or contractors.
Stakeholder review: Work alongside property owners, merchants, or partner organizations to ensure accessibility, safety, and design consistency.
3. Delivery & Installation
After finalizing the units, we manage the deployment and installation process in a manner designed to minimize disruption and maximize coordination with ongoing street operations or events.
Coordination with city and BID teams: Align schedules with maintenance crews, events, or construction projects.
Testing and handover: Conduct safety and functionality checks before activation, ensuring lighting, power, and access systems operate seamlessly.
District dashboard: Train your team on our software for real-time tracking, data reporting, and maintenance.
5. Operations & Maintenance
We can also provide additional comprehensive service plans to keep every installation secure, clean, and operational over time. Depending on our agreement, our team can handle regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and user support, ensuring long-term reliability and appearance.
Routine inspections: Scheduled visits for cleaning, safety checks, and minor repairs.
Remote diagnostics: System alerts for quick response to maintenance issues.
Upgrade path: Modular design allows easy addition of e-bike charging or new technology over time.
4. Announcement
Once installation is complete, we work with your team to activate the space — turning the launch into a community event and statement about your property’s investment.
Launch coordination: On-site activation events or soft openings that introduce the amenity to tenants and the neighborhood.
Brand integration: Graphics, signage, and digital content aligned with your property’s identity and visual language, and other local community organizations.
Press and visibility: Shared storytelling through photography, video, and social channels that highlight your property’s leadership in innovation and public realm design.
