On

Overview

Founded by former Swiss Ironman champion Olivier Bernhard in 2010, On produces innovative performance sportswear, accounting for roughly 6.6% of the US running shoe market.

In late 2020—during the height of the pandemic—On sought to expand their North American Headquarters in Portland, and engaged Apex Real Estate and Hyphn to aid their relocation efforts. As owner’s representative, Hyphn provided site selection and budgeting assistance to determine the “right size” for On’s needs. Through this process it was determined that On required nearly double the rentable square feet to achieve their goals.

The project team represented an international collaborative effort. Working with On’s headquarters in Zurich, in combination with social distancing requirements, the project’s management and design were handled remotely. Hyphn’s integrated technology team provided full AV and low-voltage design and installation, including for an 18-foot video wall suitable for product demos and global all-team meetings.

Hyphn's project management team not only supervised and coordinated all the teams involved in the new location, but also provided complete support to On during their transition from their previous facility to their new, beautiful and modern collaborative workspace, showroom, and innovation space.
