The verdict in three sentences
A commercial real estate website with listing search costs 9,000 to 34,000 EUR excluding VAT in Amsterdam in 2026, and the spread comes mostly from the automated listing feed and bilingual Dutch and English content. For 50 to 300 active listings across offices and logistics, 14,000 to 20,000 EUR covers a site that produces qualified enquiries.

Mini case study
Illustrative example: Joost, managing partner of a five broker Amsterdam firm focused on offices and logistics, manages 160 active listings. His team spends 7 hours a week updating the website by hand. A 2,500 EUR feed import saves about 330 hours a year, worth 19,800 EUR at 60 EUR an hour. With a Standard site at 18,000 EUR, two extra lease mandates a year at 12,000 EUR average fees bring 24,000 EUR, so the project pays back in under a year.

FAQ
Does the feed work with any brokerage software?
Most commercial property systems export XML or offer an API. Budget 1,200 EUR for a standard feed and up to 4,000 EUR for a proprietary format.
Do we need both Dutch and English?
In Amsterdam, yes: many corporate tenants and investors search in English. Bilingual content adds roughly 2,000 to 4,500 EUR.
How long does a Standard site take?
Eight to ten weeks, including one to two weeks to test the listing feed.
What about GDPR on lead forms?
Forms need a privacy notice, minimal fields and a data processing agreement with your CRM, usually included in the build at under 500 EUR.
