Parking 2 places in front of the space (free parking on the street). Bedrijfsgebouw, so light industrial is possible. No-service costs except for usage of light/gas/electricity Place has no heating, tenant will need to install it.

Here's the current offer:

Called but not so interesting places
Osdorpplein 656-657
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/kantoor/amsterdam/object-47366812-osdorpplein-656-657/omschrijving/
EUR2178 for 350m2 in Osdorp (75 EUR/year/m2) Not available, is going to be redeveloped. Talking to the agent, there is a similar space available nearby. However, this is "office-office space" so not for light industrial use. As the guy said: "you need a ground floor".
Kropaarstraat 1
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/kantoor/amsterdam/object-4427083-kropaarstraat-1/ Only small 40m2 places. Not for us.
Veemarkt 92-94
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/bedrijfshal/amsterdam/object-48730539-veemarkt-92-94/ In Oost. Pure "Casco". No Kitchen, no heating. Own entrance. Would need a "parkeervergunning" to be there. Agent was unsure what the price was. estimated it to be €200 for 6 months.
The 125m2 per year price was non-negociatable, this makes it quite expensive, compared to #Cruquiusweg 96 B, which is quite close by, go figure.
We visited, but no longer an option.
Wenslauerstraat 22
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/kantoor/amsterdam/object-48689166-wenslauerstraat-22/
EUR2.500 for 300m2 in Kinkerbuurt (100 EUR/year/m2) THe property is going to be modernized by owner in a time. So contracts can only be given for 2 years. And then another 1 or 2 year contract (no long-term stuff). Also because of this Maintenance is rudimentary On top of the space there are 4 normal apartments The price 2500 is "vraagprijs" and clearly negotiable. The Zoning law ("bestemingsplan") is "bedrijfsruimte" which includes light industrial / workspace. We can visit it by making an appointment with Van Maarschalkerwaart Makelaardij ( 020-5721111 ).
A *Visit* : Thursday 18/7 at 17:30
Conclusion: Too big, too costly and run down. The lease was short-term only and not really worth investing in. Which is what the owner and previous tenants also concluded, explaining the state of the place.
Didn't call, looked at only
Rozenstraat 43 H
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/bedrijfshal/amsterdam/object-48770077-rozenstraat-43-h/ - Super central alternative, but with 127m2, too small - Wont call.
Limmerick 40
http://www.fundainbusiness.nl/bedrijfshal/amsterdam/object-48791243-limmerick-40/ - Nice price but confused the location. it's too far. Didn't bother to call.
