Office space rent – city Utrecht
€/sqm per year
Utrecht's prime office rents have surged 52% from 2016 to 2026, climbing from €230 to €350/m²/year. Growth remained gradual through 2020 (+11%), reflecting steady demand pre-pandemic. A marked acceleration began in 2022, with annual increases of 5-13% through 2026. This shift reflects two dynamics: (1) interest rate hikes and inflation from 2023 onwards, redirecting institutional capital toward secure, quality assets, and (2) office market polarization: prime A-stock holds tenant demand while secondary stock faces pressure. Utrecht benefits as a tier-1 alternative to Amsterdam, underpinned by strong labour markets, connectivity, and limited supply of quality space.
