The total monthly costs of office space in Amstelveen in 2026 range roughly between €1,250 and €4,500 per month for a private office of 25 to 85 m², depending on the type of lease and the included amenities. On top of a bare rent price come service costs, internet, cleaning, parking, and any fit-out costs, which makes the total picture considerably higher than the advertised price suggests. In this article we answer the most frequently asked questions about the costs of office space in Amstelveen, so you can make a fair comparison.
What are the average rental prices per m² in Amstelveen?
The average bare rental price for office space in Amstelveen in 2026 is between €150 and €225 per m² per year, depending on the location, the finish level, and the size of the leased area. That works out to roughly €12 to €19 per m² per month. Locations directly on the Zuidas are more expensive; Amstelveen offers comparable quality at a lower rate.
For comparison: on the Zuidas itself you quickly pay €300 to €400 per m² per year for representative office space. Amstelveen, and in particular the Kronenburg business park, sits in a different segment — professionally strong, but without the premium that comes with a Zuidas postcode. That makes the region popular with companies that want to project a professional image without unnecessarily high rental costs.
Keep in mind that the bare rental price per m² is only the base. The actual monthly costs depend on the total area and the additional costs, which can vary significantly between providers. You can read more about this in the next question. Also check our page on renting office space in Amstelveen for a concrete overview of available options.
What costs are added on top of the bare rent?
With a bare-rent office lease, you always pay additional costs on top of the base price. The most common additional costs are service charges, internet, cleaning, parking, energy, and fit-out. Together, these items can increase the total monthly cost by 30 to 60 percent compared to the bare rent.
A realistic overview of the most common additional costs with bare rent:
- Service charges: for management, common areas, and facility services, often €20 to €50 per m² per year on top of the rent
- Energy: electricity, heating, and cooling, depending on the building and consumption
- Internet: business fibre or a corporate subscription, typically €100 to €300 per month
- Cleaning: weekly or daily office cleaning, often €150 to €400 per month depending on the area
- Parking: one or more parking spaces, in Amstelveen typically €75 to €150 per parking space per month
- Fit-out and furniture: one-time purchase or lease costs if the office is delivered empty
- Meeting rooms: often not included with bare rent, available to rent by the hour or half-day
With an all-in or serviced office formula, most of these items are already included in a single monthly rate. That makes the comparison with bare rent harder at first glance, but in practice often more advantageous or comparable in total costs.
What is the difference between all-in rent and bare rent?
With bare rent you only pay for the use of the space itself. All other costs — internet, cleaning, energy, meeting rooms, reception — you arrange and pay for yourself. With all-in rent, these facilities are bundled into one monthly amount, with no surprises afterwards.
The practical difference lies not only in the price, but also in the administrative burden. With bare rent you sign multiple contracts: with an internet provider, a cleaning company, an energy supplier, and possibly a furniture supplier. That takes time and attention you would rather invest in your business.
All-in rent is particularly interesting for companies with a small team that do not have their own facilities department. You know exactly what you pay every month, there are no hidden costs, and you do not have to organise anything yourself. With bare rent you have more freedom in choosing suppliers, but also more responsibility. That can make sense for larger organisations with their own facilities support.
At Kronenburg Offices, we work with an all-in formula. Internet, cleaning, coffee, reception, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access are all included, so you can focus entirely on your business rather than on the organisation around it.
How much does an office of 25 to 85 m² cost per month in Amstelveen?
An office space of 25 m² in Amstelveen with an all-in serviced office formula starts at approximately €1,250 per month. For an office of 85 m², that rises to around €4,250 per month. With bare rent, the base rates are lower, but the additional costs come on top of that.
To make it concrete:
- 25 m² (1 to 2 workstations): all-in from €1,250 per month, suitable for an entrepreneur with one employee or a small team
- 50 m² (3 to 5 workstations): all-in approximately €2,500 per month, fitting for a growing team
- 85 m² (6 to 10 workstations): all-in approximately €4,250 per month, representative for a mid-sized team that also receives clients
With bare rent in Amstelveen, you quickly pay €750 to €950 per month in rent alone for a 50 m² office, but once you add internet, cleaning, energy, and parking, you soon arrive at a comparable total amount. The difference then lies in the service and convenience, not necessarily in the total costs.
What are the tax benefits of renting office space for entrepreneurs?
As an entrepreneur or limited company owner, the rental costs of an office space are in most cases fully deductible as business expenses. This applies to both bare rent and all-in lease agreements, including the associated service costs incurred for business purposes.
A number of relevant tax points at a glance:
- Deductibility: office rent is a business expense and reduces taxable profit, both for income tax (sole trader) and corporate tax (limited company)
- VAT: if you are VAT-registered, you can generally reclaim VAT on rental costs, provided the office is used for business purposes — always discuss this with your accountant, as rules around VAT-exempt letting may apply
- Chamber of Commerce registered address: a rented office address can be used as the official registered address for the Chamber of Commerce, which is also relevant for business and tax purposes
- Work-related costs scheme: certain facilities that the employer reimburses or makes available from a rented office fall under the work-related costs scheme — have this assessed by a tax adviser
Always consult an accountant or tax adviser for your specific situation, especially if you have a limited company or are considering replacing your home address with a business office address. The tax benefits are real, but the exact application depends on your legal structure and business situation.

When is a serviced office cheaper than a traditional leased premises?
A serviced office is in most cases more cost-effective than a traditional leased premises once you honestly factor in all the additional costs of bare rent. Especially for teams of up to ten employees, the total package of a serviced office — including internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, and reception — is financially attractive and less labour-intensive.
With a traditional leased premises you pay bare rent, but that is just the beginning. Service charges, energy, fit-out, internet, cleaning, and meeting facilities are all separate items. For a small company without facilities support, this also means a time investment: signing contracts, resolving issues, managing suppliers.
A serviced office is generally the better choice when:
- your team is smaller than ten to fifteen people and has no facilities department
- you want to get started quickly without a long lead time for fit-out and contracts
- you want to remain flexible in terms of space, without being tied to a long-term lease
- you need representative meeting facilities without having to fund them yourself
- you want to keep your total monthly costs predictable
A traditional leased premises may make more sense for larger organisations that want full control over the fit-out, have their own facilities staff, or want to be in one location long-term with their own identity in the building. For most growing companies in the Amstelveen region, however, a serviced office offers more flexibility and less hassle for a comparable or lower total price.
