The Cushman & Wakefield Netherlands MarketBeat report for Q1 2026 covers the Dutch industrial and logistics market, reporting total investment volume of approximately €265 million (77% in logistics assets) alongside occupier take-up of 833,000 sqm, while characterizing the market as cautious and highly selective with core capital targeting only prime-quality assets despite subdued transaction volumes. Key findings indicate that investor sentiment deteriorated due to macroeconomic uncertainty and rising financing costs, occupier activity remains steady but increasingly selective with growing rental spreads between prime and secondary locations, and market fundamentals remain resilient with prime rents expected to track inflation while secondary markets face rising vacancy and incentives.

Netherlands MarketBeat Hospitality Q1 2026

The Dutch hotel investment market experienced minimal transaction activity in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 due to a wait-and-see attitude among buyers and sellers, reduced international investor appetite, rising operating costs, and pressure on hotel performance, though interest in Value Add and Opportunistic repositioning strategies is increasing. The occupancy market shows structurally sound underlying demand supported by sustained tourism and constrained supply, but operating performance is pressured by labour costs, cost inflation, and higher taxes, with expected RevPAR decreases depending on location and segment.

The occupier market shows selective expansion concentrated in prime A1 and A2 high streets, where international retailers are driving strong demand, while secondary locations face rising vacancies and rental pressure; occupier performance is expected to face increasing headwinds from higher transport, energy, and labour costs in the second half of the year.

The report contextualizes this activity against Brussels's political crisis (exceeding 600 days without a government as of January 2026), credit rating downgrade by Standard & Poor's, and economic headwinds including weak Belgian GDP growth forecast at 1.1% for 2026 and rising public debt exceeding €14 billion.
