Number of establishments
Haarlem is a vibrant mid-sized Dutch city with 167,636 residents and a well-developed commercial real estate market comprising 11,350 non-residential properties spread across 28,305 business establishments. The economic profile is distinctly service-oriented, with business services dominating the landscape at 8,495 venues, representing nearly 30 percent of all commercial activity. Government, education and healthcare rank second with 5,180 locations, while trade and hospitality account for a substantial 4,025 establishments, signaling a healthy retail and leisure sector. This sectoral composition reflects a prosperous urban economy anchored in professional services and public institutions, complemented by a thriving consumer-facing retail and food service scene.
For commercial real estate seekers, Haarlem presents an attractive proposition supported by solid labor market fundamentals: a working population of 92,360 with a net labor participation rate of 74 percent ensures ready access to skilled personnel across multiple disciplines. The average resident income of 39,300 euros annually underpins solid local purchasing power, making the city particularly well-suited for office and professional services tenants seeking proximity to talent and clients. Retail operators and hospitality businesses benefit from this same affluent, employed population with leisure spending capacity, while the presence of significant institutional anchors in education and healthcare guarantees consistent demand for support services. Haarlem thus offers genuine appeal for established service providers and specialty retailers rather than distribution or light industrial users.
