Rotterdam has the highest office vacancy rate among the G4 Dutch cities at 10.9%, compared to Amsterdam (5.5%), The Hague (4.9%), and Utrecht (6.1%), with significant quality variations across sub-areas such as Kop van Zuid and the Central Business District. Savills research indicates that mixed-use development, residential conversions, and sustainability improvements, exemplified by projects like the Tree House development, are expected to positively impact vacancy rates and renew office stock in Rotterdam.

Dutch Office Market Report 2025: Randstad Occupier Trends

The report analyzes occupier market trends across four Dutch office markets in 2025: Amsterdam experienced a 14% decline in office take-up to approximately 180,000 sq m, driven by reduced demand for larger spaces and a shift toward units of 200-1,000 sq m, with availability remaining largely unchanged at 990,000 sq m (15.5% of total stock). The Hague saw a notable increase in demand with approximately 104,000 sq m leased (70% higher than 2023), primarily driven by the Central Government Real Estate Agency taking 77,000 sq m, while Rotterdam maintained steady take-up at 87,000 sq m and Utrecht achieved surprisingly strong demand at 115,000 sq m, well above 2023 levels, largely due to major leases from PGGM and De Volksbank.
