In the first half of 2016 the industrial agency team of CBRE was involved in 78% of all commercial transactions in Budapest, which is a record in the past few years in the Hungarian commercial real estate market, the company says. This year, the CBRE team also had significant involvement in deals outside of the Budapest region, in the selling and leasing of industrial properties in Tatabánya, Dunakeszi and Szigetszentmiklós, according to the press statement.

“The growth of industrial production and of logistics services has resulted in more new transactions in the Hungarian commercial real estate market,” said Gergely Baka, head of the CBRE industrial agency. “After the industrial agency contributed to new significant pre-lease and rental contracts and in the extension of existing contracts, in several cases property owners decided on further developments – thus, we believe that we have earned the prestigious CIJ Award this year.”

CIJ Europe founded the its awards in 2000; they are presented annually to the best actor in the property market and to the best property market project in various categories. Entries are shortlisted by a jury of acknowledged property market experts, and the winners of the categories are chosen through open voting.
