Real estate awards for HB Reavis

The HB Reavis real estate development group has won two prizes at the prestigious Iroda.hu Gala Awards with its AGORA Budapest project. Its Agora Park and Showroom was named ‘Best Community Place of the Year 2017’ among 35 entries while the Agora Budapest project, itself was voted as ‘Best Planned Commercial Real Estate Project of the Year 2017’.

In the ‘Best Community Place of the Year 2017’ category, the jury evaluated the specially creative, community-specific spaces of architectural interest that serve as a venue for quality relationships for unique or innovative, leisure and innovative ideas.

HB Reavis's 5,000-square-meter public park, with its unique container showroom in the middle, is a specialty that did not exist in this form in Hungary before. The high-tech showroom, made of marine vessel containers, presents in a truly exclusive way – on the construction site – to the future tenants of the new city center, Agora Budapest, how their future office is being built. The building, built in three months, was designed by the MádiLáncos Studio while its unique furniture was provided by Kinnarps. The developer gave a glimpse of the showroom to the public in a recent open day – an occasion, which will be repeated in the future.

The Agora Budapest Showroom anticipates how Agora Budapest will renew and make the environment more enjoyable for residents, workers and the capital city. The award-winning development, located in the conjunction of two main roads, will be one of the city's most exciting building complexes, a multifunctional, modern city center that will beautify the capital with not only unique contemporary architectural solutions but also with green spaces and community spaces while also offering diverse services.

Agora Budapest, in addition to its sustainable and innovative solutions, was able to attract the attention of the jury due to its community-building and environmental function, as well. In the building, , HB Reavis group-level community office service, the HubHub, will also be available, as its own co-working office will also be located in the building. Agora is being worked on by such well-known foreign and Hungarian designers as the London-based MAKE Architects or the FINTA Studio of Budapest, which designs iconic buildings.
