Introduction
The Budapest Business Journal’s premium publication Hungary is an important and lively real estate market that has experienced an extraordinary renaissance since 2009. Welcome to one of the most important and respected annual English language overviews of the booming commercial real estate sector in Hungary. Dedicated sections deal with the hotel, industrial and logistics, office and retail, sub-sectors, but we also delve into the investment potential in Budapest, comparing yield to its near neighbors in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as looking at architecture and urban development, interior fit out trends and the finance environment fueling construction growth. Industry players give us their take on the developing trends in the market in our popular Market Sentiment section. This special BBJ publication now has a history going back to 2009, during which time we have charted the rise of the sector which has developed almost beyond belief since the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 turned off the money taps driving development and froze the market.
