Office space for rent in Deventer, a Hanseatic city on the IJssel and the A1

Deventer is a Hanseatic city in Overijssel, located on the IJssel river and on the A1 motorway. Knowledge-based companies are so well represented here that, according to the municipality, together they form a business area of their own: the Kennisboulevard. Deventer also has seven business parks, each with its own character. So you can rent an office in the historic center, in a creative former port area or on a site visible from the motorway.

The Kennisboulevard: knowledge companies from the center to the A1

The Kennisboulevard is a ribbon of knowledge-intensive companies and institutions. It runs from the historic center via the Handelskade and the arterial roads to the A1. Along this ribbon you find engineering firms, software developers, higher education institutions and the municipality. Companies in IT, food, chemicals, construction and financial and legal services are based here too.

The municipality calls part of this area the Kennisas, with sub-areas such as Stadscampus De Kien, De Gasfabriek and S/PARK. De Gasfabriek houses the Ondernemershuis Deventer and Saxion, among others. S/PARK is the redevelopment of the Nouryon site into a hub for chemical innovation.
