€/sqm per year
Cool's prime office rents show steady growth from €155 to €187/m² over 2016–2025 (+16%). Until 2019, the market expanded gradually (€170 reached). The 2020–2021 pandemic period stalled momentum, with prices dipping to €167 due to reduced occupier demand and office space glut. From 2022 onwards, rental growth accelerates sharply (+5–6% annually), driven by rising interest rates, inflation, and sustained demand for quality A-grade stock in central urban nodes. The 2025 peak (€187) reflects scarcity of prime assets. The 2026 decline hints at early stabilisation or modest correction following years of steady appreciation.
Office space in Cool, a district of Rotterdam, appeals to companies seeking modern, accessible premises in a vibrant setting. Rental rates in Cool align with Rotterdam's broader market, typically ranging from €180 to €250 per square meter per year depending on building condition and location. The neighbourhood features a mix of refurbished office buildings and commercial properties, many concentrated in the Baankwartier district.
Rotterdam's office market is experiencing strong growth, especially for modern, sustainable offices in well-connected locations.
