Cushman & Wakefield’s Marketbeat reports provide a detailed quarterly analysis of the Dutch commercial real estate market. Covering the office, retail, industrial & logistics, and living sectors, the reports offer insights into supply, demand, and pricing trends at both market and submarket levels.
Amid global volatility, commercial real estate is regaining ground, supported by a more optimistic outlook since autumn 2024. While the market initially anticipated a delayed end-of-year rally spilling into early 2025, momentum remained uneven –reflecting persistent investor caution. By mid-2025, total investment volumes reached €4.3 billion – up 12% compared to the same period last year.
The market is demonstrating stronger capital depth compared to last year, putting upward pressure on prices and narrowing the bid-ask spread. Most market indicators are now trending positively. Nevertheless, investor sentiment remains fragile, influenced by geopolitical uncertainty – particularly regarding U.S. trade policy. This is likely to continue shaping market dynamics in the second half of 2025.
Market recovery is expected across all asset classes throughout 2025. However, the pace and scale of this recovery will largely depend on greater clarity around U.S. trade relations and decisions by the European Central Bank.
