The focus in the research is the impact of location factors on rental rates of office buildings, with a special focus on how location factors impact rental rates for offices located in the Randstad compared to the peripheral areas. According to the literature, the main location factors that influence rental rates are: the number of office buildings in a radius of two kilometres from an office building, the distance to a station, the distance to the highway, distance to a supermarket and distance to green space. Hedonic regressions are run to determine the influences of every location factor, and to compare the differences between the Randstad and the peripheral areas. The average rent of office buildings in the Randstad is significantly higher (40%), than the average rental rates in the peripheral areas. date: 2017 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2450/1/Final_Version_Bachelor_Thesis__1.pdf identifier: Neve, S.M. de (2017) The impact of location factors on office rental rates - Differences between key cities and smaler towns in the Netherlands.
