At Venopi, one of our missions is to help turning single purpose places into multi-functional spaces. We believe that buildings are made to be occupied, not empty and that we can bring people together in existing places in a sustainable way.

We are super excited to welcome rent24 to our community! Most people know them as coworking & office spaces, but they are so much more than that. They are about community, coliving, and a great vibe!

Below is our interview with Agustin Cahyaningtia, Sales & Marketing Co-ordinator at rent24. Let’s get into it!

What are the facts about rent24 that most people don’t know about?
Robert Bukvic started rent24 in Germany, as a sister company to his company called miet24. Here he lends almost everything to everyone, from cars to electronics and from party tents to bands for the party.

As he had spare spaces in his office, he saw an opportunity to rent those out to people with their own company and that’s how rent24 coworking originated/started.

rent24 provides amazing event venues for business and networking events, especially in Amsterdam.

rent24 provides amazing event venues for business and networking events, especially in Amsterdam. We have two unique locations with different settings. In the city center, we are located in Magna Plaza, a historical building in the Netherlands with amazing view of the dam palace. The other location is the Bridge Building in Amsterdam West. It has a large event space with 400 m2 that fits up to 200 people.

As rent24 expands, it also becomes more all-rounded by expanding its horizon to food. It recently opened the doors to The Food Department on the second floor of Magna Plaza.

What do you think is one of the most exciting features of your venue that sets it apart from others?
Our Magna Plaza location is situated in the heart of Amsterdam. This monumental building, with its historical background, is part of the top 100 Dutch heritage sites. It is the former Amsterdam’s main post office and it was built in 1895–1899 in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance style. Our favorite spot from the space is the Royal Chapel. It is a small meeting room that has an amazing view of the dam palace.

Other than that, our Bridge Building has a very cool event venue that fits many people and has a nice view of the city of Amsterdam. Before entering the event space, you’ll get inspired by the various residents in our community.
