What rent should I allow for an office in central Brussels?
For budgeting, general indications published by Flexas put the centre at around €230 to €275/m²/year. This is neither a minimum nor a maximum: offers vary by building, condition and negotiated terms. New or recently renovated buildings may exceed this range. Add service charges, taxes, parking and any works, and check VAT treatment. References consulted in October 2026.
How many square metres should I allow per workstation?
For an initial conventional office scenario, you can test an allowance of 12 to 18 m² per workstation, including circulation and shared areas used by your team. Ten workstations would therefore represent a scenario of 120 to 180 m². Adjust this planning assumption to the floor plans: enclosed offices, meetings, reception and storage may require more space. For hybrid working, base your estimate on the busiest attendance days and allow room for changes in team size. Finally, check what the quoted floor area includes.
