The plots are in a newly developing industrial area near Budapest (15 minutes by car), at an important transport and logistics junction of the highways between Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava. The land is connected to the exit to the M1 highway and to the city bypass of Budapest, while the area will be directly accessible by city express trains (20 minutes from Budapest) and city buses.
