Most property teams handle accessibility through design and compliance. But fewer teams focus on the experience of moving through the space especially for people who move differently. It could be,
-Someone using a mobility aid who might hesitate at an unfamiliar entrance.
-A newcomer attending an event unsure of which elevator connects to the right floor.
-A parent with a stroller who might turn back because the entrance they know is through stairs.
These moments might not be logged in any system. But they affect who comes, who returns, and how people talk about your space. They also show up in operational friction in forms of more questions at the front desk, more lost visitors, more avoidable support tasks for your staff.
At Pedesting, accessible navigation is helping people use what’s already there is and not adding more infrastructure.
How Pedesting Helps
Pedesting is a mobile navigation app that helps users find their way using step-by-step directions through indoor and outdoor spaces. It highlights accessible entrances, elevators, restrooms, and meeting points, and offers a digital experience that complements your existing signage and design.
For your team, it means fewer interruptions at reception.
For your tenants, it means smoother access for staff, clients, and guests.
And for your building, it’s a simple way to show that accessibility is a crucial part of your belief and operations.
Pedesting doesn’t require expensive retrofits or new systems. It maps what already exists and turns it into something more usable, searchable, and inclusive.
Accessibility Brings More People to the Building, More Opportunities, More Business
When spaces are easier to move through, more people show up.
That includes older adults, newcomers, parents with strollers, people using mobility aids, and anyone dealing with temporary barriers. These are everyday users who often get left out when buildings are hard to navigate.
For businesses and tenants, this matters. Because wider access brings more foot traffic, longer visits, and stronger participation in events and services.
It also creates loyalty. When people feel a space works for them, they come back.
That kind of reliability is good for tenants and good for the building’s long-term value.
Contributing to a More Accessible City
Pedesting is already working with buildings across Calgary to support accessible movement. To us along with property managers, this echoes as a growing network of spaces that say: you are welcome here and we’ve made it easy for you to move through.
Every accessible experience adds up. Every person who gets where they’re going with ease brings that sense of ease into the community.
It’s a small shift in infrastructure. But it builds something meaningful.
If you're ready to make your building part of a more inclusive, accessible city, we’d love to talk. Learn how Pedesting supports better navigation and stronger communities without changing what you’ve already built.
