Key findings

• The office provides value added primarily as a breeding ground for interaction and innovation, with the well-being of employees coming increasingly to the fore.
• A high demand for prime offices can be expected in the coming period.
• Any negative effect of working from home on the demand for office space in the Netherlands is expected to be limited. 
• Amsterdam's favourable start-up climate and the influx of venture capital will continue to ensure robust demand for flexible office space.
• The growth of successful start-ups may eventually lead to more demand for conventional office space.
• Occupiers consider sustainability to be increasingly important. In Amsterdam, for example, occupiers pay on average €35 per sq m more for an office with energy label A or higher than for an office with a lower score. 
• The yield spread between BREEAM-certified office buildings and offices in general has more than doubled in three years to 375 basis points.
• Savills expects these developments to widen the gap between prime and secondary office property.
