Wing is transforming the Material Center building in Budapest, which until now has operated as a shopping mall, into an office building. The building, which has an area of over 20,000 square metres, will be fully converted and renovated to a high standard, to be reborn as the Skylight City office centre. The preparatory works have already begun, and offices are already available for rental in the building.


The building has a total area of around 20,000 square metres and each storey has a floor area of 2,400 square metres which can be split into up to four units. The minimum office space available for rental is 600 square meters. 
 
The office and commercial functions can be accessed separately; the commercial and catering units, as well as the green internal courtyard, will be on the ground-floor and semi-basement levels. 

The building aims to comply with the BREEAM In Use rating system. 
 
The architectural designs of Skylight City were made by Wing’s architectural studio Aspectus Architect, while the interior design is the work of Lab5. The letting agent for the new office building is the property market consulting firm Eston.
