IMMOFINANZ, one of the leading players in the office and logistics market in Hungary, has signed several lease agreements accounting for approximately 50,000 sqm in its Hungarian portfolio in the last months. In detail: around 7,000 sqm are new leases, while contracts for an additional 18,000 sqm of office and 25,000 sqm of logistics space have been renewed.

About 4,000 sqm of new space was leased at the Greenpoint7 office building by several tenants, amongst others the National Research, Development and Innovation Office with about 2,000 sqm. A new tenant, the Ripost media company, also moved to the Globe3 office building. With Alvicom the office building Haller Gardens has another new tenant operating within the IT sector. One of the existing tenants, Computacenter, expanded its previously leased space by an additional 1,200 sqm.

In respect to prolongations, the company managed to satisfy several existing tenants: While 18,000 sqm of office space relates to anchor tenants in the buildings Átrium Park, Greenpoint7, Haller Gardens, Xenter13 and Szépvölgyi Business Park, another 25,000 sqm has been prolonged by existing logistics tenants.
