€/sqm per year
Rotterdam's prime office market surged from €165 to €290/m²/year (+76%). Growth remained steady until 2019 (+18% over four years) driven by regular economic expansion. COVID-19 caused a slowdown in 2020-2021 as uncertainty and remote work dampened demand, yet fundamentals held. Sharp acceleration from 2022 onwards (+15% in two years) reflects rising interest rates increasing capital values and a structural shift toward A-grade space as hybrid working models took root. Post-2024 momentum intensified (+25% in two years): acute shortage of modern, high-quality office stock in Rotterdam's core markets, combined with improving business conditions and constrained new supply, pushed rents significantly higher.
Rotterdam offers competitive office rentals at approximately €209 per m² annually, with premium segments ranging from €310 to €360 per m². The Rotterdam office market started 2026 strongly, driven by robust demand for modern, sustainable office space in accessible locations. With a vacancy rate around 5.8%, the market remains tight, making quality and location paramount for tenants seeking functional workspace.
Rotterdam is experiencing significant demand for office space, particularly in the city centre and prime locations. Office take-up in the first quarter of 2026 reached 13,000 m², supported by companies of various sizes seeking viable alternatives to scarce availability in Amsterdam and Utrecht. Organisations increasingly prioritise sustainability and proximity to transport hubs, areas where Rotterdam is gaining traction. The city attracts growing businesses relocating for better value and flexibility compared to saturated markets in other major Dutch cities.
Simultaneously, renovation and transformation of older office stock remains a key dynamic. Market demand concentrates on modern, energy-efficient units in central locations, while outdated premises face pressure. This creates a dual-market structure: premium locations with strong tenant interest and higher rents, alongside differentiated stock requiring repositioning or transition.
Rotterdam is easily accessible by car via highways A15, A16, and A20. Central Station connects seamlessly to all major Dutch cities and European destinations. Public transport is comprehensive, with metro, tram, and bus networks serving the city. Many office locations lie near Blaak or Central Station. The city centre and Kop van Zuid feature modern office buildings with diverse amenities (restaurants, co-working spaces, and leisure facilities), allowing professionals to integrate work, collaboration, and relaxation.
Renting office space in Rotterdam offers flexibility at lower cost than Amsterdam, with considerably more availability and shorter lease terms than competing major cities. Many landlords provide flexible arrangements, particularly for growing or experimental businesses. Additionally, you benefit from a thriving city with a diverse, multidisciplinary talent pool and stable economic fundamentals. Rotterdam's openness to innovation and sustainability makes it attractive to startups and scaling companies seeking room to expand.
