Real estate advisor Savills has announced that it will be opening a second Dutch office, in Utrecht.
Savills has had an office in Amsterdam for 20 years, employing 110 people and providing its clients with real estate advice across all sectors and areas of expertise; including investment, agency, valuations, property management and building and project consultancy.
From 1 March 2018, Savills will provide its clients with the same level of service from its new World Trade Center location in Utrecht.
'The supply of office space in Amsterdam has declined sharply and rising rents are forcing some occupiers to consider Utrecht, where there are more numerous options of Grade A office space and a healthy pipeline of stock,' said Wouter Stevens, director of Agency, Savills the Netherlands. 'The city is further enhanced by the transformation of the central station area and the talent pool, which is created by the city’s world renowned university.'
Clive Pritchard, head of Savills the Netherlands (pictured), commented: 'We have distinguished ourselves in the Amsterdam market as highly reputable advisors with a global network and excellent local knowledge. Utrecht is a rapidly growing city with huge appeal to investors and occupiers from here and abroad and, with teams working closely with both our Amsterdam office and our global business, we intend to support our clients with their real estate requirements and thrive in this market.'
