Change language:
There are dozens of exciting real estate developments scheduled for 2022. In addition to several residential, office, hotel, commercial and urban projects, the Hungarian capital will also have new modern city centers. Check them out below!
BudaPart
Last year, the fifth ultramodern residential building was handed over at BudaPart. Moreover, the urban development project will bring new visible results in 2022 as well. Namely, two more residential buildings and a new business center will be constructed in the area. In addition to an 8,000 m2 office building, the latter will also house the Radisson chain’s newest hotel.
BudaPart has been under construction for several years in Budapest’s 11th district, in the vicinity of the Kopaszi dam. As the Hungarian news portal Portfolio reports, the total investment that took over 10 years includes the construction of 15 residential buildings, 13 office buildings and the hotel mentioned above. This represents approximately 3,000 apartments and 250,000 m2 of new office space. Within the framework of the project, Budapest’s tallest building, the MOL headquarters will also be completed by the end of this year.
Grand Corvin
The revamping project of Budapest’s 8th district is coming soon to its end. Accordingly, the last residential building on the Corvin promenade will be finished this year.
Within the framework of the Grand Corvin project – which started in 2013 – 22 hectares of land have been regenerated and 2,700 new homes have been built. Additionally, 100,000 m2 of office space and 50,000 m2 of retail space have been created in Budapest’s new modern city center.
The only scheme with any architectural merit is the Zaha Hadid Architects project for Zugló. The rest are dream, inspired, cheap to build identikit buildings, poorly planned and with too great a density. Hungarian developers really should use internationally renowned architectural practices more because generally speaking, Hungarian practices are simply not that good. The best new House of Hungarian House of music is a success and is by the Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, the Zugló project is by a London based practice. Sadly, Hungary does not have any ‘star’ architectural practices, ‘star’ being defined as having international presence and acclaim.
