Property Investment Forum 2019

Date: 21st November 2019    Venue: Groupama Aréna - Lagardère Sports Hungary

Agenda

07:45-09:00 Registration

Section I – Portfolio Main Stage – Blue Room, 4th floor

This is more than a market cycle. This is the latest property market revolution!

All major segments of the global property market are in swift rearrangement, requiring similarly swift adaptation from market players. Sustainability, energy awareness, efficiency, healthy workplace environment, modern-day cold war affecting the global economy, changing consuming and purchasing habits, the unstoppable spread of digitalisation and technological innovation spearheaded by robotisation and AI, security tasks related to managing and using corporate and personal data, the availability of construction materials, finding blue-collar and white-collar workers, the roles played by governments, legislators and society, the needs of employees and so on and so forth – all these individual factors can have serious effects on future property developments, investments and financing. Can we see the future? Can we prepare for it? It does not matter. The task is given: we must see and must prepare!

Coffee break

Legal and alternative investments workshop – Orange Room, 3rd floor left

In a regulated market constrained by laws, it is essential that all levels of operation are legally sound. The legal workshop will offer professionals an opportunity to discuss in detail the most pressing issues of the domestic real estate market, from construction and management through investment and financing to domestic and EU regulations.

In the alternative investments workshop, we will discuss the risks, sales challenges and future prospects of alternative investments, which appear to take off very slowly at the institutional level. No track record, no deal!?

Sustainability stage – Turquoise Room, 3rd floor right

Future Budapest workshop – Liveability and city development

Future property development projects will be carried out in the cities of the future. The Budapest of the future already exists in plans, but these will be shaped further by politicians, urban planners, architects, property developers, infrastructure experts and the inhabitants of the city itself. The stakes are high. The city of the future is not just smart, it is first and foremost liveable. And we need to act together now for the liveable city of the future.

09:50 - 10:50

Planning is no longer enough - Tangible measures are required

Conversation participants:

10:50 - 11:10

Coffee break

Section II – Portfolio Main Stage – Blue Room, 4th floor

Office market. New cards dealt

Developing offices is no longer about how to place the number of people required by the customer in a cost*efficient manner. It takes new professions and new skills to create successful developments, re-positioning, lease or other deals, and facility management structures. The way work is being done is changing in many places as "green", digital, active or group work solutions and arrangements emerge. Instead of further increasing HR spending, many employers choose to invest in the work environment. Meanwhile, developers, investors and financers should monitor the future needs of end-users as a successful product is one that can remain attractive to employees and can deliver efficient and tangible development to businesses. The focus will be on trends and developments.

Regional outlook

The power and the success of the domestic real estate sector both rely on being open and accepting to importable foreign knowledge, capital, modern solutions and approaches, whether in new developments, operations or investments, but it is also important to raise successful local businesses that can stand their ground anywhere in the world. This process is already underway, and an increasing number of Hungarian professionals and businesses contribute to the development of the market day by day in this "global village". How do they see the market cycle and the challenges we face? How do they prepare for the all-transforming changes in sub-markets?

Lunch break

Macroeconomy workshop – Orange Room, 3rd floor left

Macroeconomic workshop – Do we need to get ready for the crisis?

The property market is a part of the whole. This whole is the economy. The question is, what will domestic and global economic processes bring and how will they help or hinder the growth of the property market, from central bank monetary policies through unique financing solutions to global rearrangements due to climate change and new technologies. This is a workshop. A big playground where, just as last year, we will openly discuss whether the sky is the limit.

HR and Proptech at the standing stars of the property market

Property management, operation, facility management, tenant management, fund management, asset management – the point is that the responsibility of businesses handling the long-term management of assets in a cost-efficient, energy efficient, professional manner that also serves changing tenant requirements is increasing.

GRAPHISOFT Dimension change in Hungary's construction industry – workshop – Gold Room, 3rd floor left

Compete or go under

Changing resources and changing dynamics will characterise the Hungarian construction industry after 2020. As a result, market players will have to come up with an answer when deciding about the use of technological developments. Constructors and investors from Moscow to New York are switching to cost-efficient digital solutions, while in Hungary the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) solutions remains a rarity. Moreover, construction costs have risen sky-high, while labour shortage is increasingly putting a damper on project outlooks.
There is a solution! It is possible to switch to digital design, construction and operation processes during a single project. But what does the digitalisation of the Hungarian construction industry require? The panel discussion will answer these questions.

11:10 - 11:30

BIM, the biggest step ahead in architecture since digitalisation

11:30 - 11:50

Let's say it out loud!

Talking openly about market trends and processes and about global and local political and economic issues that have a tangible impact on the biggest players in the domestic property market. Developers, investors, operators, employers and tenants alike must respond again and again to the ever-accelerating changes, demands and structural transformations.

Hotel and tourism – Orange Room, 3rd floor left

There's no stopping, but how long can the industry continue to grow? Many are already talking about over-tourism, even though we are a far cry from truly popular tourist destinations.

Retail metamorphosis – E-commerce and logistics – Turquoise Room, 3rd floor right

Shopping? Come on! People increasingly buy things online, while malls and stores are becoming experience centres and showrooms. The transformation of physical retail and service spaces and the effect of e-commerce merging with logistics are irreversible both for the retail and freight shipping sectors. The rise of omnichannel and digitalisation does not leave the mall market unaffected, while robotisation is irreversibly changing the logistics industry.

To dream. To build. To sell? - To sell not just to tenants or buyers but also to employees, customers and end-users. Marketing is no longer sufficient.

You have to build a brand, a community, an experience, an identity, an engagement, in a world where everything is about social media, digitalisation, ratings and experiences for future generations.

Coffee break

Section IV – Portfolio Main Stage – Blue Room, 4th floor

Investment and financing

While domestic funds grew fast last year. this year is a different story. Meanwhile, the investment market has remained stable, and foreign investors have not been driven off by yields between 5% and 5.7%. The instruments for financing are also stable and have even been expanded by the central bank. There will always be risks, but everyone is trying to minimise these. It remains to be seen where the domestic investment and financing sector moves from here, what instruments investors will find exciting, and whether financers will take extra risks to expand their market or everyone will turtle up and play the waiting game, fearing the end of the cycle and a global wobble. The show must go on! There are always good investment, they just have to be found.

Proptech Q&A

Office market + "Concept of the year" talks and voting - Orange Room, 3rd floor left

Dream it. Build it. Sell it? – Sell it not just to tenants or customers but also to employees, shoppers and end-users. Marketing is no longer sufficient. It is no longer enough to say you're the best and brightest. You have to build a brand, a community, an experience, an identity, an engagement, even a kind of pride in a world where everything will be about social media, digitalisation, ratings and experiences for future generations.

Let's pick the best candidate for the "Concept of the Year" award together. – For several years now, the professional programme has been concluded by the best candidates presenting their new development plans and concepts. This year will not be different. Be there and help your favourite win with your vote.

Construction industry and the residential market – Turquoise Room, 3rd floor right

"Financing? We'll take care of it. Market demand? Enormous. Constructor? We have one. Although they are not cheap and will not be available for three years." Is the situation still this dire? Or has the pressure on the construction industry eased? Is there a point in developing or expanding capacity, or is everything fine as it is? After the 5% VAT on homes is phased out in January 2020, we'll be back to where we were before. Or will we? We could even see a new twist in the tale on the very day of the conference. Will the market of newly built homes collapse, or will demand stabilise at prices considered unthinkable just a short time ago? Will there be an institutionalised rental home market in the future, or will the home market remain the Mecca of small investors? Market expectations, risks and expected effects.
