Number of establishments
De Hoef-Oost represents a compact yet economically vibrant district characterized by 530 residents and 420 households, supporting a notably active commercial landscape with 651 non-residential properties and 620 registered business establishments. The district's economic profile is anchored firmly in service-oriented sectors, with business services commanding the largest presence at 165 establishments, followed by trade and hospitality venues at 105 locations and transport, information, and communications enterprises at 90 establishments. This sectoral composition reveals a district that functions as a mixed-use commercial hub, blending back-office and professional services with retail and public-facing operations, complemented by a meaningful logistics and distribution presence. The working-age population of 470 individuals maintaining a robust net employment participation rate of 74 percent indicates a district populated by economically engaged residents and workers.
For commercial real estate users, De Hoef-Oost offers distinct advantages rooted in its economic fundamentals and labor market characteristics. The high employment participation rate signals reliable availability of skilled and semi-skilled labor, making the area particularly attractive for office-based professional services and business support operations that require consistent staffing levels. The significant representation of retail and hospitality establishments suggests reasonable local purchasing power and consumer activity within the catchment area, positioning the district as suitable for businesses targeting both office accommodation and customer-facing retail premises. However, prospective tenants and purchasers should recognize that while the district supports diverse commercial activity, its modest scale and strong logistics component make it most naturally suited to distribution, warehousing, and specialized service providers rather than high-street retail or large corporate headquarters seeking major metropolitan visibility.
