Office rental prices in Groningen
Rents typically range between €115–€225 per m²/year, depending on location, finish level and lease term. A1 locations such as Centrum & Stationskwartier and the premium segments Zernike and UMCG sit at the top; suburban office buildings in Paddepoel often fall below €140 per m²/year.
Price indication per type of office space
Full floor: €130–€225 per m²/year, a self-contained office floor for 15+ employees with its own entrance and branding.
Unit in a multi-tenant building: €115–€175 per m²/year, a private office unit within a multi-tenant building with shared facilities.
Flex/coworking: typically an all-in price per workstation per month, cancellable monthly — ideal for freelancers and small teams in the Centrum or near Zernike.
Turnkey office: €150–€225 per m²/year, fully fitted-out and furniture-ready, usable immediately without renovation.
Serviced office: an all-in price per workstation per month with reception service, IT, cleaning and flexible contract terms.
What determines your final rent?
Location plays the biggest role — a representative office building in Centrum & Stationskwartier or an R&D unit at Zernike Science Park quickly sits €40–€80/m²/year above a comparable space in Paddepoel. On top of that: finish level (shell or turnkey), lease term and the relative scarcity within a specific segment of the Groningen office market.
Popular business locations in Groningen
Six office clusters dominate in Groningen, ordered from the A1 city centre and premium niches to modern southern clusters and the suburban value tier.
Centrum & Stationskwartier
A1 city-centre office locations around the Grote Markt, Vismarkt and Herestraat plus modern office buildings on the main-station side — the home base for professional services (law, finance, consultancy), media and business services. Highest prestige, best public-transport access, premium price segment.
Zernike Science Park
The R&D and innovation heart of the northern Netherlands in north-west Groningen — the campus of the University of Groningen and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, surrounded by dozens of tech companies, life-sciences spin-offs and IT firms. A sought-after segment for scale-ups and knowledge-intensive organisations; a mix of turnkey office buildings and R&D units.
UMCG-zone
A medical and biotech office cluster around the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) — office space for healthcare IT, biotech startups, medical services and research consortia. A premium price segment due to scarcity and specialty demand around UMCG research and healthcare innovation.
Europapark
A modern, station-adjacent office district in south Groningen near Europapark station and the FC Groningen stadium — suited to medium-sized and large corporate offices, IT, financial services and regional head offices, with a fast A7 connection. Modern new-build, ample parking, conference facilities.
Martini Trade Park
A modern office park in south Groningen along the southern ring road — a mixed segment of office units in multi-tenant buildings and self-contained floors for SMEs, startups and business service providers. Well connected via the A28 and A7, mid-segment rents.
Paddepoel
A suburban office tier in north-west Groningen with small-scale office buildings and office units in multi-tenant buildings — popular with freelancers, small teams and local service providers who want proximity to the centre at lower entry rents. Value-tier price positioning.
Which type of office space suits your company?
Five common forms, with the typical Groningen context.
Full floor
A self-contained office floor with its own entrance, suitable for 15+ employees and full branding — widely available in Centrum & Stationskwartier and in larger buildings near Europapark, suited to scale-ups, financial services and regional head offices.
Unit in a multi-tenant building
A private office unit within a multi-tenant building with shared facilities such as reception and meeting rooms — strongly represented at Martini Trade Park, Europapark and in the Stationskwartier for SMEs and business service providers.
Flex/coworking
A workstation or private office in a coworking concept with monthly cancellable agreements — a growing offering in Centrum & Stationskwartier and near Zernike for self-employed professionals, freelancers and startups who value flexibility over long contracts.
Turnkey office
A fully fitted-out, furniture-ready office, usable immediately without renovation or fit-out costs — typically at Europapark and Martini Trade Park, suited to scale-ups that want to grow quickly or regional teams that need to be operational right away.
Serviced office
An all-inclusive office with reception service, IT, cleaning and flexible contract terms — found mainly in more modern buildings in the Stationskwartier and at Europapark, ideal for regional head offices, satellite offices and international teams.
BizzBrix vs. traditional search portals
The big search portals give you a list of office buildings to work through yourself. BizzBrix takes a different approach.
Traditional portals: you actively search, compare yourself and approach agents individually — often with incomplete supply and no view of off-market.
BizzBrix: one search request, anonymous under token protection, office agents come to you with matching supply including off-market. See how it works for agents.
Groningen as a business location
With around 235,000 inhabitants, Groningen is the largest city in the northern Netherlands and the economic, knowledge and healthcare heart of the region. The University of Groningen and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences supply thousands of graduates each year to a growing ecosystem around sustainable energy, life sciences and IT — with the UMCG (University Medical Center Groningen) as a heavyweight in healthcare and research. Since the wind-down of Groningen's gas extraction, regional industry has been shifting toward hydrogen, green chemistry and circular production, with logistical support from Eemshaven. The city sits on the A7 junction (east-west through the northern Netherlands, A28 toward Zwolle/the Randstad), with Eemshaven within 30 minutes via the N46/N33 and Bremen/Hamburg within 2 hours via the A7. Train to Amsterdam Centraal: ~2h; within the northern-Netherlands cluster, Leeuwarden is 35 min away, Assen 25 min and Zwolle 60 min.

Is BizzBrix free for office space searchers?
Yes. BizzBrix costs you nothing as a searcher — no subscription, no commission, no brokerage fee. Affiliated office agents only pay when you accept an introduction.
How quickly will I receive responses to my search request?
BizzBrix is in pre-launch and does not publish specific service levels; for a targeted search request in Groningen, affiliated office agents usually respond relatively quickly when they have matching supply in your segment.
Does my search request stay anonymous?
Yes. Under token protection, affiliated agents see what you're looking for — type of office space, floor area, location preference, sector, budget — but not who you are. Only when you accept an introduction are your details shared.
Does BizzBrix also work for flex/coworking in Groningen?
Yes. Affiliated office agents and flex providers have supply for coworking workstations and private offices in flex concepts, particularly in Centrum & Stationskwartier and near Zernike Science Park. State in your intake that you're looking for a workstation or flex office and the number of spaces you need.

Can I rent office space through BizzBrix as a startup or freelancer?
