Fodor brings more than 10 years of experience in commercial real estate and business development. The company said the move supports both its local expansion plans and alignment with Newmark’s broader European growth strategy.
“We are delighted to welcome Edina to our team,” said Valter Kalaus, managing partner of the company. “Her professional experience and strategic mindset add significant value to our Occupier business line. Our goal is to support our clients with increasingly complex, business-focused advisory services — from location and portfolio strategy through negotiation processes to long-term value creation. Edina’s arrival marks an important milestone in our development and aligns well with Newmark’s European growth strategy, while further strengthening our presence and service offerings in Budapest. Welcome aboard!”
Fodor said: “I am very pleased to continue my career at Newmark VLK Hungary. The company stands on strong professional foundations and is supported by numerous long-term client relationships. In line with Newmark’s European growth strategy, my goal is to actively contribute to the further development of the Budapest office and to strengthening its market position. I firmly believe that in today’s complex economic environment, strategically focused real estate advisory creates tangible business value and provides meaningful support in achieving corporate objectives.”
The domestic commercial real estate market is expected to stabilize gradually by 2026. Demand is rising in both the office and industrial segments for high-quality, energy-efficient and flexible spaces, while corporate decision-making increasingly focuses on balancing value preservation, cost efficiency and business performance.
Budapest’s office market is undergoing a strategic shift, with tenants optimizing space use through smaller, more efficient footprints and modern workplace solutions. At the same time, demand for logistics and industrial properties remains strong, supported by e-commerce growth, supply chain transformation and expanding regional manufacturing capacity.
In this environment, data-driven tenant advisory services and tailored workplace strategies are gaining importance, areas where Newmark VLK Hungary plans further development and team expansion.
