Companies: Dutch Capital and Amsterdam

companies: More companies are investigating the possibility to relocate to Amsterdam, which means more demand in office space in the Dutch capital and in turn lifting investment in real estate, according to Global Times China. We have seen an increase in companies seeking information about setting up an office in the Amsterdam metropolitan area, said Charlene Verweij, International Press Officer at Amsterdam inbusiness, the city agency assisting foreign companies with their operations in the Dutch capital and surrounding municipalities. Firstly, the Netherlands could potentially attract London-based businesses seeking to relocate to continental Europe and, secondly, investors are moving away from London to other markets, Jeroen Jansen, head of research at the property services group Savills Consultancy, told Xinhua. Our efforts are not focused on aggressive promotion, but on offering information about our investment climate and connecting those interested to the business network in the area, Verweij said. What certain is that as the British economy faces uncertainties after the June referendum, the Netherlands has been placed higher on the radar of investors seeking to broaden their real estate portfolio and to gain better yields in a time of historically low interest rates. But Jansen noted that additional growth as a result of companies relocating from Britain could be directly assessed only in 2017 or even after depending on the Brexit negotiations process.
