Office space for rent in Amsterdam

Renting office space in the heart of Amsterdam provides direct access to one of Europe's most dynamic office markets. Prime office rents in Amsterdam city centre range from €500–€600 per m² per year, depending on sustainability credentials, views and location. Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde, located in Amsterdam's historic centre, combines cultural heritage with contemporary work environments. The neighbourhood attracts companies seeking central accessibility, high service density and an established business ecosystem.

Market context

Amsterdam recorded office take-up of 42,300 m² in Q1 2026, primarily in Zuidoost, Zuidas and the city centre, with vacancy falling to 9%. This reflects a structural shift toward sustainable, well-located offices. Employees demand quality, accessibility and sustainability; both demand and supply concentrate around central locations with strong public transport connectivity, including intercity stations and city centres. Take-up is clearly constrained by the scarcity of high-quality office space; buildings with strong energy performance, modern facilities and good accessibility – especially near mainline stations – are scarce.

Amsterdam grows as a knowledge economy hub with strong demand from tech, consulting and media firms. In H1 2025, Amsterdam saw strong rental growth of 17.6%, and lower vacancies in the CBD signal further rental increases. For companies in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde, this means office decisions are strategic: location choice drives talent recruitment and brand identity.
