€/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.
Cool is the liveliest part of Rotterdam's city centre: the district between the Coolsingel, Westblaak, Westersingel and the Weena, with the Lijnbaan, the Schouwburgplein, the Witte de Withstraat and the Kruiskade. Shoppers and office workers by day, theatre, hospitality and nightlife by evening. For office tenants, that means an address that employees and clients enjoy visiting, with every amenity within two hundred metres. This page lists our supply of office space to rent in Cool (10 office buildings).
Three types. Along the Westblaak and the Coolsingel are medium-sized office buildings from the post-war reconstruction and the 1990s, often renovated, with floors of several hundred square metres. Above the shops of the Lijnbaan and the Kruiskade are smaller offices and office units, suitable for agencies of five to twenty employees. And around the Witte de Withstraat and the Museumpark are creative studios, architects and media companies in characterful buildings. Flex offices and coworking are well represented in Cool; see flex desks in Rotterdam.
The typical rent is around €180 per m² per year. In terms of price, Cool sits between the Weena and the outer districts: you pay for the central location, but less than for a tower next to the station. Small units above shops are often let all-in per month; in older buildings, pay attention to the energy label and the climate installation. Compare with the CS-kwartier and the Oude Westen.
Beurs metro station (lines A, B, C, D, E) and Eendrachtsplein are located in the district, with Rotterdam Centraal a five- to ten-minute walk away; trams run along the Coolsingel, Westblaak and Kruiskade. By car via the Westblaak and the Coolsingel, with car parks on the Schouwburgplein, the Kruiskade and the Westblaak. Private parking spaces are scarce; expect to need a car park subscription.
Lunch on the Lijnbaan or the Witte de Withstraat, meetings at the Doelen or a hotel on the Schouwburgplein, and the Museumpark for a walk. Cool is also the district with the most office units and flex offices in Rotterdam, handy for those who start small and want to grow within the same building.
