Why rent office space near Rotterdam Airport?

There are three concrete reasons why companies choose to rent office space near Rotterdam Airport, and all three translate directly into money saved.

Reason one: dual-city accessibility. The airport sits exactly between Rotterdam and The Hague. From an office here you reach Rotterdam Central in twenty minutes and The Hague Central in thirty, via metro line E stopping at Meijersplein station five minutes on foot from the terminal. For companies with clients or employees in both cities, that cuts average travel time in half compared to a city-centre location.

Reason two: parking at normal cost. Free on-site parking is the standard here, with 1 space per 50 to 75 m² of office floor. In Rotterdam city centre you pay € 150 to € 250 per space per month and get at most 1 space per 250 m². For a team of 20 people, that adds up to € 30,000 to € 60,000 in annual savings.

Reason three: base rent 30 to 40 percent lower than in the city centre, while you get newer and more turnkey buildings. For a 300 m² office, that comes down to a structural € 30,000 to € 50,000 difference per year.

For companies with frequent European business travel, direct access to forty European destinations adds another layer of value: step in the car and pass through the gate fifteen minutes later. That makes office space near Rotterdam Airport particularly attractive for consultants, tech sales teams and international headquarters.

Accessibility from Rotterdam, The Hague and Delft

The A13 motorway runs along the eastern edge of the airport and connects directly to the A20 (Rotterdam Ring) and the A4 (towards The Hague and beyond). That makes office space near Rotterdam Airport practically reachable for employees across the whole of Zuid-Holland.

Business parks around Rotterdam Airport

Four distinct zones surround the airport, each with its own character and price level. Which one fits you depends on the image you need, the budget you have and whether you require office space only or a combination with storage or a workshop.

Airport Plaza and Vliegveldweg

Directly next to the terminal. Modern office towers with glazed façades, double acoustic glazing and a Van der Valk hotel within walking distance for international visitors. Popular with aviation consultancies, international sales teams and HR firms hosting candidates from across Europe. Offices from 25 to 2,000 m².

Anthony Fokkerweg

Classic business park directly east of the airport, with a mix of offices, industrial units and multi-tenant buildings. Suited to engineering, technical wholesale and companies combining office space with storage or a showroom. Considerably lower rents than Airport Plaza and less flight noise overhead.

Schieveste

Large-scale redevelopment area around Schiedam Centrum station, three metro minutes from the airport. New construction with energy label A or A+, mixed programme of offices and residential. Attractive for companies that want a new sustainable building within walking distance of an Intercity railway station. Leases typically start at 500 m² and require early registration.

Rotterdamseweg and Overschie-Oost

Along the N471 road towards Delft. Strong link with TU Delft, YES!Delft and its spin-off companies. More spacious layout, plenty of parking, direct access to the A13. Suitable for engineering consultancies and R&D teams that need to move between office and campus regularly.

Average rental prices for office space at Rotterdam Airport

Which companies is this location logical for?

Not every business benefits from an address near the airport. Three profiles perform particularly well here:

• Randstad-wide service providers. Firms with clients in both Rotterdam and The Hague that do not want to be tied to one of the two cities. This location cuts average client travel time in half.
• Companies with heavy European travel. Consultants, tech sales teams and international headquarters that fly weekly to London, Barcelona, Milan or Vienna. From desk to gate in fifteen minutes.
• Technical and engineering firms needing storage or workshop space. Combined office + industrial hall units of 100 to 1,000 m² are widely available here — in Rotterdam city centre they barely exist.

This location is less logical for companies that rely on foot traffic from the city centre, want most employees to arrive by bicycle, or need a canal-side building as a status address.

Types of office space around Rotterdam Airport

The supply here is more compact and more standardised than in the city centre, with an emphasis on turnkey and flexible solutions:

• Business centre in Airport Plaza. Fully furnished office with reception, meeting rooms, 24/7 access and a view over the runway. From approximately € 795 per month for a private unit for two people.
• Private office on Anthony Fokkerweg. From 80 m² up to 1,500 m², often with its own entrance and 5 to 15 parking spaces. From approximately € 1,100 per month base rent.
• Combined office + industrial hall. 100 to 1,000 m² of workshop or storage with an adjoining office. Popular with technical firms, e-commerce and aviation services. Unique to this zone.
• Coworking and flex desks. Limited supply, concentrated around Schieveste and Airport Plaza. From € 179 per month.

Parking: where the real cost difference sits

On most business parks around Rotterdam Airport, free on-site parking is the standard, with a parking ratio of 1 space per 50 to 75 m². For a 400 m² office, that means 5 to 8 free spaces.

In Rotterdam city centre, the same floor area typically gets you only 2 to 3 spaces, at € 150 to € 250 per space per month. For a team of 15 employees, ten of whom commute by car, expect an additional € 25,000 to € 40,000 per year in the city centre. For companies whose staff is spread across Zuid-Holland and does not live next to a train station, this is often the deciding factor.

What to check during a viewing

Points that matter specifically in this zone:

• Position relative to the runway. Buildings west of the runway have more overhead flight traffic. Airport Plaza has double acoustic glazing and no noticeable noise indoors; older buildings on Anthony Fokkerweg sometimes do.
• Walking distance to Meijersplein metro station. Five minutes versus fifteen makes a real difference for staff without a car.
• Number of parking spaces and availability of EV charging. Important if you expect rapid growth.
• Access to the A13. Direct via Vliegveldweg is comfortable; via the busy Vlaardingweg it gridlocks in rush hour.
• Zoning plan. Some buildings fall under “airport-related activity” and are not freely rentable to all sectors.
