Houtwijk is a vibrant mixed-use district with nearly 18,000 residents and a solid economic foundation built on industrial heritage and modern service sectors. The neighbourhood hosts 2,630 business establishments across 1,154 commercial properties, creating a diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem. Manufacturing and energy operations form the backbone with 590 registered ventures, closely followed by 580 business service providers and 470 retail and hospitality businesses. This sectoral balance—spanning production, professional services, and consumer-facing retail—indicates an area in transition from traditional industry toward a more varied commercial landscape that attracts both light manufacturing and contemporary office-based firms.
For commercial real estate seekers, Houtwijk offers compelling advantages rooted in local labour availability and stable consumer demand. The district supports a working population of approximately 8,200 professionals with a 63 per cent labour participation rate, ensuring reliable staffing for office operations and retail ventures. Average household incomes of €31,600 per capita provide a foundation for neighbourhood retail and service spending, while the significant concentration of business services suggests healthy demand for secondary office space and professional facilities. The area is particularly suited for small to medium-sized manufacturers, logistics operators, and back-office functions seeking affordable space outside the city core, alongside ground-floor retail targeting both local residents and passing trade from the industrial corridors nearby.

Renting office space in Houtwijk offers businesses a well-positioned alternative within The Hague, with better availability than central locations. Rental rates align with The Hague's broader office market, where prime locations command around €245 per m² annually. Houtwijk benefits from the city's tight rental environment: vacancy remains low at approximately 3%, indicating rapid uptake of quality properties. For tailored market indicators specific to this neighbourhood, we recommend contacting our team.
The Hague is undergoing significant transformation as a key office hub. In the first quarter of 2026, the city recorded 20,300 m² of office lettings, showing growth compared to the previous year. Available office stock totals just over 128,000 m², with severely constrained supply — a situation that continues to push rents upward. This shortage of high-quality space encourages tenants to explore alternatives outside the city centre.
Hybrid working patterns have redefined office demand: companies now seek smaller, thoughtfully designed spaces with strong sustainability credentials and collaborative amenities rather than traditional open-plan layouts. This trend makes neighbourhoods like Houtwijk — featuring lower rents and direct motorway access — increasingly attractive for agile, flexible organisations seeking value without compromising on accessibility.
Houtwijk benefits from a central position within The Hague with excellent transport links. The neighbourhood lies close to the A12 and A13 motorways, providing rapid access to the wider Randstad region. Public transport connections via bus and tram routes to The Hague Central and The Hague Hollands Spoor stations facilitate seamless commuting. Surrounding the area are office and service buildings, plus local retail and hospitality venues. Proximity to business parks makes the neighbourhood suitable for companies prioritising flexibility and visibility.
Houtwijk provides a compelling option for office tenants seeking alternatives to centre-city premiums. Local landlords frequently offer flexible lease terms and shorter contract periods, appealing to rapidly scaling businesses and start-ups. The combination of competitive pricing, direct infrastructure access and reduced competition for available space makes Houtwijk attractive for organisations valuing stability without paying The Hague centre premiums.
