Office space for rent in Rotterdam Capelle

What makes Rotterdam Capelle attractive as an office location

For decades, Capelle has been the alternative location for companies that want Rotterdam accessibility without Rotterdam prices. Randstad, Klaverblad Verzekeringen and several financial service providers deliberately chose Rivium as their head office. What you get here and not in the center:

• A16 and A20 less than five minutes away by car, so you reach Utrecht, Gouda, Breda and The Hague without having to go through the city first.
• Four metro stations in Capelle (Capelsebrug, Capelseweg, De Terp and Capelle Centrum) on lines A and C, with Rotterdam Central Station in fifteen to twenty minutes.
• Free parking for the whole team at nearly all buildings, versus €10-15 per hour in the CBD.
• Shorter commute for employees from the Alexander, Zuidplas and Krimpenerwaard regions. This is often the reason to choose Rivium over the center.
• €130 to €175 per m² per year, versus €200-€325 in Kop van Zuid and the CBD.

The office areas of Rotterdam Capelle

Rivium

Rivium is the largest and most established office park in Capelle, directly on the A16. Randstad Nederland and Klaverblad are based here, along with insurers, financial service providers and international companies that need a Dutch branch in the Rotterdam region. You will find office buildings of 500 to 5,000 m² here, often with their own parking deck. Capelsebrug metro stop is a ten-minute walk away.

Fascinatio

Fascinatio is a new-build area around Capelle Schollevaar station, with glass office towers and a mix of offices and homes. The area is popular with tech and service companies that value a modern look and a good NS rail connection toward Gouda and Utrecht. The buildings are newer and the rents are slightly higher than in Rivium, but for many companies the train connection outweighs the price difference.

‘s-Gravenweteringpark and Hoofdweg

The ‘s-Gravenweteringpark and the Hoofdweg form a smaller-scale office area on the edge of Capelle, with units for SMEs and freelancers. You benefit here from a quiet location, free parking and an excellent bike connection with Kralingen and Nieuwerkerk. The price level is generally below that of Rivium and Fascinatio.

Which type of office space fits your situation?

Flex desk for freelancers and teams who come in occasionally

From approximately €150 per month. A flex desk is interesting if you want to work from Rotterdam Capelle two to three days per week without a fixed contract. Fascinatio has several shared workspaces with a short notice period.

Office in a business center for scale-ups of 5 to 25 workstations

From approximately €400 per month for a private office including reception, meeting rooms and internet. Especially in Rivium there is ample supply. Handy if you want to be operational quickly without your own facility team.

Standalone office space for established teams of 25+ workstations

From €130 per m² per year. You get complete privacy, your own entrance and the option to apply your own branding to the facade and interior. In Rivium, office spaces are available up to complete floors of 2,000 m². Contracts usually run for three to five years, with a rent-free period sometimes possible for longer agreements.

Virtual office for companies without a fixed location

From approximately €50 per month. You get a business address in Rivium or Fascinatio with mail and phone handling, without needing physical office space. This can be interesting for a Chamber of Commerce (KvK) registration or a Dutch branch of a foreign company.

Who does Rotterdam Capelle work best for?

Business service providers who receive many client visits. Hassle-free parking and a fast connection to the highway are important advantages here.

Companies with employees from the region of Nieuwerkerk, Krimpen aan den IJssel, Zuidplas or Alexander. For them, Capelle is often closer than the center, and there is also plenty of parking.

Mid-sized financial and insurance companies that want Rotterdam visibility but cannot or do not want to pay the higher rents of the CBD.

Foreign companies with a Dutch branch that need a business address in the Rotterdam region, without a representative location in the center being necessary.
