Number of establishments
Bouwberg is a compact yet economically active district with a resident population of 4,335 and approximately 2,000 households, supporting a working professional base of around 1,900 people. The neighbourhood demonstrates solid commercial vitality, with 318 non-residential properties and 315 registered business establishments distributed across diverse sectors. The economic profile is notably balanced and industrial in character: manufacturing and energy operations lead the sector count with 90 establishments, while government, education, and healthcare contribute 55 facilities. Retail and hospitality venues account for 50 businesses, as do professional business services, creating a mixed-use environment that reflects both production and service-oriented activity. This sectoral diversity signals a district designed to support industrial and operational functions alongside administrative and service infrastructure.
For commercial property seekers, Bouwberg offers several attractive fundamentals. The available labour force of 1,900 workers with a net labour participation rate of 59 percent provides a stable talent pool for operational and office-based functions, while the average income per resident of approximately €26,600 represents a working-class purchasing power profile. These characteristics position Bouwberg most favourably for logistics, light manufacturing, and trade-related tenants seeking proximity to an established industrial and supply chain ecosystem, as well as for service providers and administrative operations serving the local business community. Retail operators would find a modest but functional consumer base, though the district's economic identity is fundamentally oriented toward business-to-business and production-focused commercial activity rather than high-volume consumer retail.
