The first two warehouses of industrial real estate developer HelloParks have become 100 percent occupied over a few months. The Maglód and Fót developments, which opened earlier this year, are the first industrial buildings in Hungary to meet the sustainability requirements of the Excellent certificate in the BREEAM New Construction category. In addition to Maglód and Fót, HelloParks’ megapark in Páty is also being developed at full capacity. The nearly two-year-old company plans to deliver two more projects in 2022. As a result, the total gross leasable area offered by the HelloParks megaparks in the county will be increased to 160,000 sqm by the end of this year representing a total investment value of €190 million.

Demand for logistics real estate is not slowing in Europe, driving significant upward price growth. This development is further fuelled by increased construction and financing costs in the new-build segment. Overall, 70% of the examined European markets registered substantial growth since the end of the second half of 2021, whereas 30% saw no change in rent levels. The remarkable thing is that no region reported negative rental growth. These are some of the findings Garbe Research presented in its latest Garbe Pyramid Map, the 2022 mid-year update of the company’s yield and rent map for the 122 most important logistics real estate submarkets in 23 European countries.
