The real estate sector has also been faced with major issues because of this phenomenon and the future is extremely uncertain. The inhabitants of the Netherlands were obliged by the government to work from home and we now see that this measure is possibly becoming a standard for the future. Factors such as social distancing, remote work and the economic uncertainties due to the outbreak of the pandemic, caused fewer people to work in physical offices. It is extremely relevant to look at the (ultimate) impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for office space, from different perspectives. This qualitative research project investigates the relationship between the outbreak and the consequences of the corona pandemic on change in the demand for office workplaces in the Netherlands. The results show that COVID-19 has accelerated, but also fundamentally changed multiple aspects of the office market.}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/4361/} }
