SAP Hungary has recently renewed its office lease agreement for over 18,000 square meters at Graphisoft Park, further demonstrating its commitment to its Hungarian operation, which has been hosted by the business park for 18 years. Colliers represented SAP in the transaction.
Graphisoft Park, covering more than 80,000 square meters, is one of Budapest’s most innovative office complexes. Located in North-Buda submarket, directly along the Danube River, it spans approximately 18 hectares of green space. The park’s design places significant emphasis on preserving a nature-friendly environment and establishing a campus-like atmosphere. Thanks to this unique ambiance, many international and local companies, primarily in the technology sector, have chosen the office park as their headquarters.
SAP SE, one of Europe’s leading software companies, decided in 2006 to establish its Hungarian commercial and development center in Graphisoft Park, becoming one of the park’s first tenants. Since then, the company has remained a loyal partner of the office complex. Recently, SAP reached another milestone by extending its lease agreement for nearly 18,000 square meters.
"For many years, we have considered Graphisoft Park as our second home, and we have achieved our remarkable growth from the offices we rent here. This business park provides us with a long-term solution without compromise, which not only meets the needs of our rapidly developing company but also aligns with our highest standards of innovation and sustainability. Sustainability, for us, is not just a business solution that we offer to our clients in the market; it is a long-term commitment to our environment that is reflected in our operations and decisions," emphasized Szabolcs Pintér, Managing Director of SAP Hungary.
Graphisoft Park's primary objective is to offer green solutions that support tenants' sustainability objectives and evolving needs. As part of this commitment, the Park focuses on environmental awareness, having installed a solar panel and utilizing 100% renewable energy sources.
„The employees like coming here, and talent retention is the greatest asset in a technology company," highlighted János Kocsány, CEO of Graphisoft Park SE.
"When we began developing the Park in 1996, we chose research and development companies as our target tenants, offering them this quiet, nature-adjacent riverside location because, from the own experience of the founding software company Graphisoft, we understood the specific needs of such businesses. The almost 30-year commitment of Europe’s largest software company, SAP, now proves that we made the right decision," added Gábor Bojár, Chairman of the Board of Graphisoft Park SE.
“Alongside the extension of SAP’s lease agreement, the modernization of the building housing its offices will also begin. Graphisoft Park is undertaking significant energy investments to meet the jointly defined ESG goals. The office building will transition to green operations, with the installation of an electric heating and cooling system that will reduce carbon emissions and contribute to sustainable operations,” added Miklós Ecsődi, Director, Head of Occupier Services at Colliers Hungary.
