The pharmaceutical company Richter Gedeon Plc.'s new central office building, the Richter Center, situated in Budapest's 10th District, has received prestigious real estate market recognition, winning the Headquarters of the Year Award in the 2025 Office of the Year competition, the company told MTI on Friday.

The statement said that the 17,400-square-meter, six-story headquarters building, which was inaugurated last year, was designed by Zoboki Architecture and serves both Richter's domestic headquarters and professional support for its activities in more than 50 countries. The interior design focuses on ergonomics, the use of natural materials and the creation of a quiet and inspiring working environment.

At the headquarters, sustainability goals are served by ground-source heat recovery, green roofs and green spaces that improve the microclimate. The functional use of space, the incorporation of digital solutions and support for office community life are in line with the challenges of modern working, especially the hybrid model and the rise of digitalization," they said.

According to the competition jury's assessment, the Richter Center is an exemplary combination of innovation and sustainability, they added.

The 15th Office of the Year contest is one of the most important competitions in the Hungarian office market. The prizes, awarded by an independent professional jury, recognize projects that stand out in terms of real estate development, architecture and work culture. The aim of the competition is to spotlight the highest quality office space, sustainability solutions, interior design concepts and corporate practices that promote employee well-being and change management success. This year, for the first time, international offices were able to compete.
