Making a local impact through international real estate expertise
CBRE Zwolle
The Northeastern Netherlands is growing rapidly, and our local real estate experts are keeping up with this trend. From our offices in Zwolle and Groningen, we brainstorm about the future of our region and about the sustainable real estate solutions that meet local needs.
Working from our sites in the Hanseatic city of Zwolle and in Groningen (a university town), we serve the entire Northeastern Netherlands: a vast area spanning from Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe all the way to Overijssel, Flevoland and Gelderland.
Despite the scarcity of space in these areas, the cities in all these provinces have grown in recent years, boosting demand for real estate solutions. These needs vary by region, but since our experts anticipate changes, they know exactly what each area and the various types of users need. What will our environment look like in the future, and how will this affect our working life? What are the corresponding real estate needs and solutions?
To be able to solve these issues, we have all the knowledge and expertise you need to help you get ahead, ranging from project management to funding, from design to rentals and from development monitoring to sales. In addition to businesses, we also advise property owners.
Using data to plan for the future
We use a data-driven approach, which benefits you as a client. By closely monitoring the various real estate sectors, we stay on top of all the latest trends, and are aware of what purpose each site serves, what contracts and energy labels are attached, and therefore: how we can find the most appropriate real estate solution for you.
The information we use is to ensure that you can get the most out of your retail or office property, residential complex, or distribution centre. We also feel responsible for the future of the region – which we ultimately determine together. Our data-driven approach provides both us and local authorities with the information we need to know what needs to be done over the next decade in terms of housing, work, and retail.
New workspaces in prime locations
Hybrid work has permanently changed how we think about offices. While working remotely was already commonplace prior to Covid, the pandemic further accelerated this trend. While the flexibility of our workforce has reduced the importance of the distance between our home and our workplace, in order to retain the appeal of the office to workers, organizations are investing more resources in facilities and amenities and in improving accessibility.
State-of-the-art, sustainable buildings in prime locations are proving to be popular: they meet the climate requirements, are centrally located, and are well served by public transport. This means you will be able to find and retain new talent more easily. However, the growing demand for first-rate workspaces does create a mismatch between supply and demand in the area – which is where our experts come in. Since they keep a close eye on the market, they know exactly where and when suitable commercial buildings will become available in your area.
Our combination of a data-driven, highly local approach and our in-depth knowledge of this area ensures we can always provide personalized advice and help organizations to grow.
Making room for industry and logistics
While knowledge workers dominate the city, logistics and production companies are more likely to settle in the surrounding communities. Since space in these areas is at a premium as well, the problem remains the same, with very little suitable commercial land being available. No available land means a lack of mobility for businesses, which is a barrier to growth.
Since we believe it is important to preserve these organizations for our own region (as they play a key role in the local economy), we simply go back to the drawing board, because we’re aware that businesses need physical space to achieve their growth objectives. We seize the opportunity to redevelop obsolete buildings into more efficient and more sustainable locations. We look forward to providing solutions with you for future-proof real estate options.
Manage your real estate with care
Healthcare real estate should also be prioritized, not least because of the ongoing shift from institutional care to home care, which is allowing a larger number of people to continue to live independently for longer (including in this region). Between now and 2050, one in three new homes to be built in the Netherlands must be a senior home – which is a massive number by any measure.
In addition, these homes must be sustainable, in line with the rest of the market. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures we can provide input at multiple levels for creating appropriate real estate solutions: for developers, investors and healthcare institutions. No matter what your question might be, you can be certain we will provide you with the advice you need.
Our projects
All facets of real estate advice are interrelated: you cannot change one aspect without changing the others. Our experts therefore work in a multidisciplinary team and share input with you in all areas.
Whether you’re looking to buy, renovate or rent a property: our experts in Zwolle and Groningen are available to support you. As our environment changes and evolves, we have no choice but to adapt accordingly. We are ahead of the pack: our data-driven approach enables us to look beyond our own parameters.
For example, we adapt to supply and demand in the area and know what is needed to provide all organizations in the Northeastern Netherlands with suitable real estate properties. You can read below about the approach we use.
