New sports centre in Budapest’s downtown
According to the plans, the project will cost HUF 27 billion (EUR 70.5 million). The contractor is Bayer Construct Ltd. The company is well-known from other state-sponsored or local government-funded construction projects like Zaha Hadid’s new city centre in the 14th district of Budapest. The final owners of the firm are government-close businessmen Lőrinc Mészáros and István Tiborcz.
The area of the site where the construction will take place is 94 thousand square metres. Bayer Construct won the public procurement because they submitted the lowest price bid, rtl.hu wrote.
The new sports centre will contain two parts. In the lower storey, there will be changing rooms, a kitchen and room for the press. Meanwhile, on the upper level, there will be a restaurant, a VIP lounge, and the Chess and Bridge Department of MTK. There will be a third level where skyboxes will be created.
