Looking in a specific city?
| District | Who sets up here |
|---|---|
Zuidas | The financial and legal district by Amsterdam Zuid station: banks, law firms, consultancies and the headquarters of multinationals, in the most expensive buildings in the Netherlands. |
| Centrum | The canal belt: agencies, boutique professional firms and startups in canal houses, with the most character and the least parking. |
| Houthavens | A new waterfront district west of the centre: tech, media and creative companies in new buildings with lower rents than the Zuidas. |
| Amsterdam-Noord | Across the IJ: creative studios, startups and the NDSM wharf, at the lowest central rents. |
| Oost | The eastern districts around the Amstel station and the Science Park: tech, research and university spin-outs. |
| Sloterdijk | The transport hub in the west: large floorplates for corporates and back offices with the best rail connections. |
| Amstelveen | Corporate headquarters south of the city, popular with Japanese and other international companies. |
| Schiphol | Offices at and around the airport for companies that travel constantly or run European distribution. |
Three questions settle most searches. Where do the people you need to see sit, clients, investors, a partner firm, a university? Where do the people you need to hire live, and which district do they already commute to? And how much of the monthly budget is the address worth: in most cities the same team pays materially more for the prestige district than for the one next to it. Amsterdam is no exception, which is why the live listings are sorted by price with the district on every card.
