This premier property, known for its high-quality, resilient, and future-proof characteristics, merges the best of tradition and modernity to create a vibrant business hub in the heart of the city.
The building's unique appeal has attracted a diverse group of tenants this year, including well-established local and international brands such as SAAB, Arago, Hays, Kinstellar, Roland Berger, and Shapr3D, reinforcing its position as the ideal choice for firms prioritizing quality and location.
"As we see shifts in office space demand, properties that offer superior locations and amenities continue to attract discerning tenants who are increasingly adopting an office-first policy," says Csaba Zeley, Managing Director of ConvergenCE.
Amid a backdrop where the size of individual transactions has generally decreased since pre-2020 levels, market analyses from leading firms like CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield indicate that niche properties in prime locations remain highly sought after across Europe. Companies, especially small to medium-sized enterprises, actively seek high-quality properties that support long-term commitments.
