De Caballerofabiek (‘Caballerofactory’) used to be, as the name implies, a factory for the Caballero brand of cigarettes. While the exterior has maintained an industrial feel, the interior has been completely revamped. Bright white floors and colorful highlights provide an open, pleasantly luminous atmosphere, and the size and scope of the building impresses. Transparency is one of the main characteristics of the Caballerofabriek, and their aim was to have this reflected in design elements, mainly a lot of glass walls and bright lights.

On offer are many units for rent, varying in size from small, two-person studios to spaces large enough to house entire 50-person businesses. Tenants at the factory are assigned units that fit their scope, and management selects mainly those in creative industries to rent space in the factory. While tenants are encouraged to adapt the units to their own design, there are guidelines in place to maintain the buildings light and clean aesthetic.

Besides the many units for rent the Caballerofabriek also offers conference rooms and even a large, 450-person hall for events. The lobby is home to a cafeteria that tenants can have lunch in (against a very reasonable price) and come together to inspire and communicate with one another.
