Gaarden is a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood that accommodates 6,585 residents across 2,730 households and hosts a diverse commercial ecosystem of 705 business establishments. The area's economic profile is characterised by a strong presence of knowledge-intensive sectors, with zakelijke dienstverlening (professional services) leading the charge at 185 establishments, followed by a significant public sector footprint through overheid, onderwijs en zorg (government, education and healthcare) with 125 locations. Vervoer, informatie en communicatie (transport, information and communication) and nijverheid en energie (manufacturing and energy) each command around 100–105 establishments, reflecting the neighbourhood's role as a multi-functional business hub rather than a single-industry enclave. This sectoral diversity demonstrates that Gaarden supports both office-based professional services and hands-on industrial or logistics operations.
For prospective tenants and occupiers, Gaarden presents compelling fundamentals. The area benefits from a workforce of 3,510 employed residents with a net labour participation rate of 71%, suggesting a readily available talent pool for businesses seeking staff. Average incomes of €33,100 per capita point to a solid, middle-market purchasing power in the immediate catchment area, making the neighbourhood suitable for both B2B service providers and B2C retail operations. With 166 registered commercial properties and the sectoral mix outlined above, Gaarden is particularly well-suited to office-based professional services and light industrial uses, though the balanced economy leaves room for strategically positioned retail and hospitality ventures targeting both the local workforce and passing trade.
