Cushman & Wakefield Marketbeat reports analyze Netherlands commercial property activity across office, retail, I&L and living real estate sectors including supply, demand and pricing trends at the market and submarket levels on a quarterly basis.
Over the past year, the market has achieved a better balance between liquidity and market fundamentals. While concerns around the international political and economic conditions persist, they have taken a backseat in the commercial real estate market. As a result, all sectors of the commercial real estate market – except for offices - have now moved beyond the inflection period. Following a period of value corrections, the market is now shifting toward a period of declining interest rates and increased availability of capital, creating renewed investment opportunities. Investors are actively exploring the market, redefining their strategies, and seeking opportunities from sellers who have adjusted to the new pricing reality.
Policy and fiscal changes are set to impact the expected investment activity of foreign (institutional) investors in Dutch commercial real estate. As of 1 January 2025, the fiscal environment for real estate investments has become less favorable, with Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) no longer allowed to invest directly in Dutch real estate. As a result, the Netherlands is now one of the few European countries without a tax-friendly regime for real estate investments.
