Real Estate Costs

"The Dutch are extremely helpful in the site selection process. The fully furnished and equipped business support center offered ideal space, enabling Lux Research to hit the ground running with minimal start-up costs."
Paul Raducha, Controller, Lux Research

Prime space, attractive rates

 

Companies are ensured a wide selection of prime office space to rent or purchase. Over the last few years, prices have declined to a constant level while total available office space has increased. This positive supply and demand dynamic is why the Netherlands ranks above most other EU nations for availability of prime, affordable office space.

With this high availability also comes greater flexibility in terms of negotiating lease terms, contract length and more. From high-rise and historic reconstruction in center city and urban environments to business parks and complexes in more suburban environments, the Netherlands offers you many location choices.
