FOR RENT: STORE ON A PRIME LOCATION
Only a few steps away from the famous Dam Square, this retail space (53 m²) is located at Oude Hoogstraat 12. It is ideally located in a car-free street in the historic city center. With one of the highest footfall areas of the city this location is perfectly suited for your store to become a smashing success. The retail space can be rented as a shell for E4,000 ex per month. The entire property (retail space + upper house) is also for sale.

GENERAL ENTRANCE (3m2)
Through the portico on the Oude Hoogstraat you enter the general entrance (3m2) on the ground floor, where both the entrance door of the upstairs apartment and that of the retail space are located. The general entrance does not belong to the retail space (so the tenant and his guests have the right of way).

RETAIL SPACE (53m2)
The retail space on the ground floor (GFA of 56m2) is characterized by a beautiful authentic wood-carved facade, containing two large high windows (including a curved corner window), which gives the retail space a lot of attention. There is lighting equipment from the prestigious Modular brand in the 3.30 meter high ceiling. On the front side of the store, the transversely laid vintage wooden floorboards provide a warm and spacious effect. This recently laid floor preserves the monumental values and is a textbook example of the contemporary Wabi Sabi trend. The same applies to the artistic wall, which is not plastered but only painted. The general meter cupboard is neatly concealed in the wall unit. At the backside of the store there is a modern cast floor and a toilet room with sink and a brand new floor heating boiler (Nefit Proline NxT HRC 24 CW3 from 2023).

SURROUNDING
The popular Nieuwmarkt neighborhood is characterized by the combination of international trends, residences, culture and leisure. The retail space is located in the center of everything that Amsterdam has to offer; the museums, the restaurants and the coffee shops. Consumers can shop in the Damstraatjes, buy out the Bijenkorf, but also scour Waterlooplein in search of vintage. All conceivable facilities are within easy reach.

REACHABILITY
Oude Hoogstraat 12 is easy to reach by public transport and by bicycle. The metro stop “Nieuwmarkt” is a 2-minute walk to the east and a few minutes' walk to the other side you will find the tram stops on Dam Square or the metro stop of the Nood Zuid line, with this new connection the consumer can reach within no time your store. Furthermore, Central Station is a 15-minute walk away with all train, tram and bus connections. The store can be reached from the airport within 30 minutes.

You can find the zoning plans by going to the website of the government's "omgevingsloket". Within this website, you must go to the link "regels op de kaart" and then enter the address 'Oude Hoogstraat 12-H' under the tab "locatie zoeken".
It is advised to consult the document 'NL.IMRO.0363.A1105BPSTD-VG03' (by going to the tab "document zoeken" after the link "regels op de kaart").

OPERATING PERMIT
If the initiative meets the destination (with or without a mixed formula), the tenant still needs to apply for an operating permit from the municipality of Amsterdam. The tenant will then have to go through two tests with the municipality: the Bibob test and the lifestyle test. The processing time between applying for the permit and whether or not the permit is obtained takes approximately 2 months. However, the tenant is responsible for obtaining an operating permit himself. The rental
agreement cannot be terminated if the tenant is not granted an operating permit. However, the landlord is prepared to suspend the rent with the lead time that the (weather or not) operating permit entails.

EXAMPLES of entrepreneurs who have been granted an operating permit in the Hoogstraaten with destination area "Centrum-2":
Shop that only sells knives (Oude Hoogstraat 35)
Beautiful nail studio (Oude Hoogstraat 33)
Artefact shop/gallery (Oude Hoogstraat 15)
Monobrand hair-color pop-up store (Oude Hoogstraat 29)
Stroop waffle bakery (Oude Doelenstraat 10)
Tattoo/piercing shop (Oude Doelenstraat 1)

REMARKS
Although the toilet is equipped with a brand new Sanibroyeur pump, this grinder/pump cannot process sanitary pads and/or cherry stones. It is recommended that you visit the toilet in a Southern European manner (sanitary pads, cherry stones and even more than 5 sheets of toilet paper per visit should be deposited in a toilet bin specifically intended for this purpose);
Although the combination of both underfloor heating (in the rear) and the air conditioner (in the front) can (also) heat the entire retail space (even with the door open), this combination may not be sufficient in extreme cold. In that case, the tenant should not leave the door open and/or install an (extra) mobile electric heater (available for approximately E150);
If the air conditioner (which the tenant receives on loan from the landlord) breaks down for whatever reason, it may or may not be repairable. In that case, the tenant will have to purchase and install a new air conditioner himself;
Entering into a shell rental contract means that the tenant himself is responsible for (the maintenance of) all installations (the air conditioner is not part of the rented property).
The general entrance (which does not belong to the rented property) is shared with the upstairs neighbors. This layout has the advantage that the tenant can use the entire facade width of the store as a display window;
Although the roller shutter does fall over the keyhole (and therefore the shop door can not be opened by burglars), the roller shutter does not reach the ground. Because of this, the roller shutter does not look nice. Since there is only a gas meter (in the retail space) for the entire building, there is no gas meter;
The landlord has done his best to clarify the laws and regulations applicable to the property, but he can never be held liable for any errors and inaccuracies on this page, so that no rights and obligations can be derived from this page.
