An office for 10 people in Amstelveen costs on average between €2,500 and €5,000 per month, depending on the type of lease, the surface area, and what is included. With a traditional rental property, service charges, internet, cleaning, and furnishings are added on top. With a serviced office, those costs are often already incorporated into a single monthly price. Below we answer the most frequently asked questions about office costs in Amstelveen, so you can make a fair comparison.
What determines the price of an office for 10 people?
The price of an office for 10 people is determined by four factors: the type of lease, the surface area, the location, and what is included. A bare rental price per square metre says little if you don’t take the total monthly costs into account. That is the figure that really matters.
With a traditional rental property, you pay a base rental price, but on top of that come service charges, energy costs, internet, cleaning, parking costs, and furnishings. Those extras can significantly increase the monthly costs. With an all-in serviced office, many of those costs are already incorporated into one fixed amount per month, making the total costs more transparent.
Location also plays a major role. An office on the Zuidas is more expensive than a comparable office in Amstelveen, even though both areas are just a few minutes apart. For many companies, Amstelveen is therefore a deliberate choice: comparable prestige and accessibility, but at a more favourable rate.
How many square metres does an office for 10 people need?
As a rule of thumb, 10 to 15 m² net per workstation applies. For a team of 10 people, that means an office of approximately 100 to 150 m². The exact requirement depends on how you work: are there many meetings, does part of the team work hybrid, or do you want room for growth?
If part of your team regularly works from home, you can sometimes manage with fewer square metres. An office of 80 m² can work perfectly well for a team of 10 if not everyone is present at the same time. Do keep in mind circulation space, storage space, and a place to receive visitors. An office that looks large enough on paper can feel too cramped in practice if there is no good layout.
At Kronenburg Offices we offer office units up to 85 m². For a team of 10 people, a combination of two units or a larger unit is a logical option. We are happy to think along with you about which layout best suits the way your team works.
What are the average rental prices for office space in Amstelveen?
The costs of office space in Amstelveen typically range for a base rental price between €150 and €225 per m² per year. For an office of 100 to 150 m², that means a base rental price of roughly €1,500 to €2,800 per month, excluding service charges and other costs.
When renting office space in Amstelveen through a serviced office formula, the all-in prices are higher per square metre, but many costs are already included. That makes the comparison less straightforward than it seems. Those who only look at the base rental price only see part of the picture.
For comparison: on the Zuidas, base rental prices quickly reach €300 to €400 per m² per year. Amstelveen therefore offers a relevant price difference for companies seeking a professional image without a Zuidas budget.
What is included in an all-in office price?
An all-in office price typically covers rent, service charges, internet, cleaning, and access to shared facilities such as meeting rooms and a reception. What is exactly included varies by provider. It is therefore important to ask about this carefully before you sign.
Common cost items that are sometimes included and sometimes not:
- Fibre internet (Wi-Fi and wired)
- Cleaning of office space and common areas
- Use of meeting rooms (sometimes charged per hour)
- Reception and welcoming of visitors
- Parking spaces
- Coffee and other beverages
- 24/7 access and security
- Furniture
With us, all these basic facilities are included: fibre internet, cleaning, reception, coffee, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access. Furniture is arranged on request. That way you know exactly where you stand at the beginning of each month, without any surprises afterwards. Read more about our approach on the about us page.
When is a serviced office cheaper than your own rental property?
A serviced office is financially more advantageous than a traditional rental property when you honestly add up all the associated costs. Think of furnishings, internet, cleaning, service charges, energy, and the time spent on facilities management. For teams of up to around 20 people, a serviced office is in many cases the cheaper and simpler option.
With a traditional rental property, the fixed costs are often lower per m², but the one-off costs are considerable: furnishing costs, a security deposit of several months’ rent, and contracts with multiple suppliers for internet, cleaning, and security. That requires time, money, and attention that you as an entrepreneur would rather invest in your business.
A serviced office also becomes more attractive the more you value flexibility. Traditional lease agreements often have terms of three to five years. With a serviced office, shorter terms are more common, offering more flexibility if you grow quickly or your plans change. Would you like to know more about what Kronenburg Offices has to offer?

How do you compare office providers on more than just price?
Price is a starting point, but not the only measure. Compare providers on total monthly costs, contract flexibility, accessibility, quality of facilities, and the way they deal with you. The latter is harder to measure, but at least as decisive for how pleasant your daily working experience is.
Concrete points to compare:
- Accessibility: How do employees and clients get there? Are there parking spaces, good public transport connections, and how far is it from the motorway?
- Contract terms: What is the minimum term? How long is the notice period? Is there room for customisation?
- Appearance: Is the location representative enough for client visits?
- Point of contact: Who do you turn to when there is a problem? Is that one person, or an anonymous ticket system?
- Growth opportunities: Can you move up to a larger space within the same location?
- What is really included: Always ask for a complete overview of what is and is not included in the price.
Always plan a viewing before making a decision. A location sometimes looks different in photos than in reality, and a conversation with the landlord tells you a lot about how the collaboration works in practice.
