Although offices still comprise the majority of certified green buildings in Hungary, other types of properties are increasingly being certified, according to Colliers International’s latest green building market report.
“In 2018, over 350,000 sqm of new office supply will be completed in Budapest and all of these buildings are targeting either LEED or BREEAM certification, with the market split evenly between the two certification schemes. Even countryside office developments such as Forest Offices Debrecen now recognize the value of green building certification in attracting tenants and protecting the environment. Just as importantly, a growing number of office developments are now pursuing WELL certification – which focuses on the health and well-being of building occupants, and we expect the first WELL Core & Shell building to achieve certification in 2018.” – said Norbert Szircsák, Senior Associate at Colliers International’s Green Advisory Services.
