GENERAL
The Courtyard Building office building is centrally located at the Papendorp business park. Thanks to its excellent location within the Netherlands, its visibility, its good accessibility, and its high-quality appearance, Courtyard is the prime location of choice for companies and organizations in the Netherlands. Other major occupiers at Papendorp include Deloitte, bol.com, Unit4, VvAA, SVB, and Stork.
Courtyard Building consists of five building sections with a substantial underground parking garage. The spacious main entrance connects the various building sections and functions as the social heart. The total office complex comprises approximately 35,800 m² LFA of office space.
The generous central entrance houses several facilities. These facilities are aimed at offering tenants as much convenience as possible and saving costs by sharing facilities, with a focus on combining a busy working life with a healthy lifestyle.
The concept includes the following amenities/facilities:
– Reception with welcome service
The receptionists are happy to assist you with a wide range of matters and, of course, also welcome your guests. If desired, you can give them specific instructions for this. The reception is located directly at the main entrance of the building, with a cozy reading table adjacent to it, so your visitors feel at home right away.
– WiFi
The public areas, including the meeting center and outdoor terrace, are equipped with a secure WiFi connection, allowing you to work and hold meetings anywhere, both internally and externally.
– Courtyard Gym
The Courtyard Gym offers a wide range of equipment for both strength and cardio training. Separate men’s and women’s changing rooms with showers are available. The gym, with its equipment and facilities, is exclusively accessible to tenants at no extra charge to employees. In addition, classes led by a professional trainer will also be offered. A fee will be charged for the latter.
– Meeting center
The meeting center has 10 modern meeting rooms suitable for meetings of 2 to 36 people, including an attractive brainstorm room.
– Courtyard Café
During regular office hours, you can visit the Courtyard Café for a good cup of coffee, a delicious sandwich, or a tasty snack. The café is also regularly used for informal meetings.
– Social space
The Social space features various seating areas, each with its own character. There are comfortable sofas for informal discussions, train-style seating/booths offering more privacy and equipped with power outlets, as well as long tables with comfortable chairs for working, and for easily connecting with other Courtyard Building users.

Employers are required to provide a lactation room for employees who have recently given birth. This pastel-toned room is offered as a shared facility for all tenants and meets all requirements. The room is located on the ground floor, in a quieter part of the building.
– Restaurant facility (via the Dutch Tax Administration)
In addition to the Courtyard Café, the staff restaurant of the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) is also open around lunchtime. This restaurant offers meals and individual food items at subsidized prices.
