In recent years the market for new office buildings in Hungary may have proved to be unsustainable, but there is still some life left in it – at least for so-called “sustainable” buildings. In what must be the biggest such deal so far in 2010, German financial giant Allianz bought local developer Wing Zrt’s newest project, the “green” office complex known as k3.
According to napi.hu, the 17,400 sqm building, which is located on Könyves Kálmán körút on the way to the airport, will be handed over in May. Allianz is expected to move in at the beginning of summer, merging its office operating at various locations into a new company HQ.
The transaction price was not revealed, but Wing said the yield was under 7.5%.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
