There has been no stopping in 2018 as the domestic property boom carries on. We may only be halfway through the cycle, meaning that the really ambitious development projects have yet to be carried out in coming years. The domestic roundtable and the presentation of stand-out projects will cover the key issues of the Hungarian property market, from the technology developments that are increasingly pervading all segments to the most prominent investments.

Reshaping cities consciously
As one of the most spectacular signs of the property market boom, developers are not just building scattered individual single-purpose projects, they are launching large-scale, multi-functional projects that may take up to a decade to develop. There are several such projects in the pipeline. The effect of these projects goes way beyond the individual construction sites as they have a major impact on other developments and on the city as a whole. The leaders of three such grand developments in Budapest will present the state of their projects, the latest challenges and the upcoming steps, then they will hold a discussion moderated by an outstanding representative of the design profession.
Moderator: Szilvia Bősze, üzletfejlesztési igazgató, Paulinyi-Reith & Partners Zrt.

We are successful if on the one hand, we can be attractive to foreign investors by offering business opportunities in Hungary, and on the other hand if we ourselves can successfully export the experience and knowledge gained. And although there will always be difficulties, the domestic property sector is fundamentally doing very well in this regard.
