Cushman & Wakefield’s MarketBeat reports provide quarterly insights into the Netherlands commercial real estate market, covering the office, retail, industrial & logistics, living and hospitality sectors, including supply, demand and pricing trends at both market and submarket levels.
Investment activity in the Netherlands strengthened in 2025, with total volume reaching €12.7 billion; a year-on-year increase of 20%. Following a period of interest rate volatility and value corrections, the Dutch and broader European real estate markets are regaining equilibrium. Capital allocation to real estate is normalising, supported by the selective return of Core investors and renewed international interest in assets offering long-term resilience and transparent returns.
Looking ahead to 2026, investors are expected to take a more proactive position. Baseline forecasts point to investment volumes of €13–14 billion. Prime real estate continues to act as a strategic anchor, with quality, location and sustainability firmly at the centre of investment strategies. Demand is strongest for assets with stable tenants, strong ESG credentials and favourable financing conditions; factors contributing to stabilising, or, in some cases, slightly compressing prime yields. At the same time, the capital base is broadening as family offices, debt funds and private investors become increasingly active. Sustainability has evolved into a structural driver of value, competitiveness and access to finance.
