Date: 15th September 2022 Venue: Hotel InterContinental Budapest
There is no relief in the world, but real estate remains a safety(?). The effects of Covid are still not final on the office market; the shade of recession, the depressing inflation, the unpredictability of construction, rising financing costs, the war and many connected areas have turned the real estate market into a crazy and risky boardgame. Let us find sustainable and profitable paths in the market’s jungle.

Where will the funding come from, and at what price?
Chair: Tamás Nagy, Head of the Financial System Analysis Directorate, Hungarian National Bank
Conversation participants:
The macroeconomic environment, both in a wider and narrow sense, has a profound impact on the potential of the domestic real estate market. Investors’ and financiers’ risk policies and their ideas about the industry are of key importance. And politics, as we have experienced in the last few years, in some cases, are the most critical incentives (building new apartments through a housing benefit scheme), and with their pro-cyclical development policy, they can also be an unbeatable competitor to the market players. Balance could be the keyword, and it would be best to find it as soon as possible.

A message from the future! – Innovative measurement solutions
The real overhead reduction starts with metering. A meter-based, transparent, and casual billing of water, heating and cooling energy, and electricity used within the building is now a basic requirement for tenants and the basis for long-term cooperation (investor confidence). Let’s see the solutions!

Risks, volatility, inflation, uncertainty. You will need a strong nervous system for making longer-term investment decisions, while market participants are also under increasing pressure to deliver returns. Which are the best products? Is there an actual demand for greening and other values, or is there simply “ESG-washing”? Has the hotel sector returned? What development and investment potential does the sector most affected by the epidemic offer?

How big an opportunity for the market is the brutal inflow of foreign working capital?
Chair: Ádám Székely, Managing Director, Owner, InfoGroup
People:
The construction industry, implementation, or construction management cannot get out of the focus; in fact, they are needed more than ever. Although many would be glad if they could do their job quietly, at a planned pace, with adequate supplies and predictable costs in the problematic implementation process, today, this is merely a dream for most.
Meanwhile, the market for new apartments is at a crossroads. The phasing out/extension of the support scheme raises more questions than answers at the moment. The brownfield lands have the game in their hands. If everything stays as is, the term “brownfield land” will become the most popular housing market buzzword in the years to come.

Mandatory warranty error handling after delivery – efficient, traceable, software-based
Case study. Housing estates of Biggeorge Property are popping up in many parts of Budapest, but the contractor’s work does not end with the delivery of the apartments. But how do we manage the mandatory warranty issues, so subcontractors and occupants always have the correct information? In the presentation, we look back at the first year and look for the response to the question of whether it was worth investing in such software.

Housing market – Rust or nothing? – Is there a life beyond Budapest?
Chair: Gábor Soóki-Tóth MRICS, Head of CEE Residential Working Group, RICS
Conversation participants:
It is not possible for nothing to happen at all. That is why the development market cannot stop and freeze completely. Meeting the latest expectations of tenants, customers, regulators, investors, financiers, and planners is a complex and complicated task. Nowadays, it is no longer enough to design and build buildings that are in good technical condition and of average design. Today, brands, ecosystems, communities, millions of smart features and complex mini-worlds need to be produced, while companies focus on and exceed sustainability and ESG requirements to gain a competitive advantage.

A thriving industrial and logistics sector and an ambitious vision for the future. Despite the existing and ever more pressing difficulties and challenges, life and the market do not and cannot stop, as there is much to be done, even if new projects may be launched and implemented in smaller numbers if utilisation and functions change. As a responsible developer, investor, and market player of any kind, the transformation of existing stock and the identification of well-specified improvements should be a priority. Sustainable growth is on the way(?).
