We are going in!
After all the outside jobs and the shell and core is ready of the Mikszáth Kálmán Square hotel the interior works are rolling in the past few months.
The project was standing by during the pandemia for a while, but the time has come to put back the focus on this exceptional building. After the success of the Hotel Kozmo this project is also a quite promising development of GCA Architects – and the quality expectations are high too.
The Realiscon team is proudly responsible for project management and technical supervision of a high-end project like this 63 rooms, four star hotel building in the center of Budapest in a district called „Palotanegyed”.
The original building is an eclectic-styled listed monument which will connected with a brand-new structured unit. Interior garden with giant old trees and a mini SPA at the basement also fit in to the hotel. The high-quality design shall attract for all the leisure travellers who are looking for a spacious, cozy hotel with excellent services in downtown scenes. The result of the designers’ vision (GCA Architects and Archimánia Építész Kft) will provide a beautiful and decent solution to the place of an old-forgotten abandoned house.

A green hotel is in the making at Debrecen
The main characteristics of the building are already well visible on the facade of the Hilton Garden Inn at Debrecen.
The execution partner is working on the pedestal insulation and the utility services’ connections in this period. Hilton is approved the sample room already, so the wallpapering, painting and flooring of the rooms started earlier and going on from one level to another. At the same time, we are working on the finishing of the community spaces as the lobby, restaurant, bar and sky bar.
We are close to the phase when the ambience which was designed by BORD Architectural Studio will be actually represented in the interior space.
After the design management Realiscon is responsible for project management, technical supervision and LEED certification management also at this project. The life cycle analysis of the building is ready, which is a significant step for the LEED-certification. The goal is to make Hilton Garden Inn Debrecen City Center one of the few green hotels in the region. This way the developer tetrecen adds a modern, sustainable hotel to the city of Debrecen yet in 2024, which will provide high-leveled service for the private and business travellers also.

Top apartments – apartments on the top!
There is a part of Budapest where nature and real calmness is our neighbour.
This is Svábhegy, a diverse and beautifully green area, with a particular panoramic view and magically clear air. Here we are working at Eötvös12 as technical supervisor since November 2023.
The main building of this new housing complex is a listed monument from 1927 which was operated as a sanatorium. Its interior details are art deco styled.
The developer White Star Real Estate will renovate it with the original facade and build 6 new and modern houses in the park around it.
Currently the execution team is working on the fronts of the new buildings, insulation, the utility networks and the partition walls. The park setting is started also.
Design was made by the Tiba Architects Studio

Finish strong!
We are just finishing the project of Budapart L (BRL) building with Property Market Real Estate Development which started in 2021.
During December we close the construction works and go on for the technical handover procedure. For the holiday season it will be ready inside and outside!
We were involved in this development from the very beginnig as project manager. When it comes to a long-term operation like this, scheduling and strict cost management is crucial.
These issues were managed successfully together by Realiscon and the execution partner Market Építő Zrt.
For the next weeks there are some interior finishing works in the tower A. At the B part of the building the walls are almost fully painted, and the road is under construction in front of the unit. It is exciting to see the final touches on this huge project we implemented together.
The future residents will be welcome in February for the first visits!

Cruising on the Danube River
The technicalsupervision is our team’s task in a port renovation project at Almásfüzitő – and we at Realiscon always keenly jump into a port project.
Almásfüzitő is a key scene in the operation of MOL-LUB Ltd., the lubricant production division of the biggest Hungarian oil company, and the pier at Danube here needed a serious renovation for the long-term safe work.
MOL delivers the base oil for its lubricant products through this point from Százhalombatta. The river traffic is a high priority for this purpose in the future also.
During the renovation many repair works will be done on the structure of the pier which will be able to guarantee long years of forthcoming operation.
6th November 2023
The highest level of BREEAM certification is the goal at one of our new jobs, which is a significant logistics park investment in Alsónémedi.
The developer HelloParks aims to reach the „Outstanding” qualification that matches with EU taxonomy regulations also. This level of BREEAM is not usual in the case of a logistics building, but our client hello Parks aspires to make it more common. The Realiscon Green Team proudly participates in this challenge to collect all the possible credit points with a highly advanced planning and implementing.
The works are just started in Alsónémedi for a 60,000 sqm „Big Box Building” with the design stage. The other parts of the project are running at Páty already. For the BREEAM New Construction objectives not only the building is getting designed environmentally friendly with innovative facilities, but the surroundings will be exceptionally conscious also. The green zone around the construction will got a multi-leveled plant system to provide home for different animal species and help diversity. Inside the building energy efficient LED-lighting, renewable energy sources like solar panels, water-saving equipments will be installed and guaranteed recycling methods will be used. The finishing of the project is expected in the first half of 2024.
We hope many ambitious jobs like this in the future!

Spin in Debrecen
Our local office in Debrecen is managing a hypermarket refurbishment for Interspar, which is being converted from a former grocery store.
After the demolition works the building got a new water and sewer system and electricity network. The surrounding of the store changed also: a new parking with electric chargers are on the way to finish. The works had to be quick and accurate, since the Christmas season will bring a whole lot of customers from the south area of the city to the new shopping unit.
This is why the setup of the supermarket’s interior equipment was started during the finishing tasks of the construction. Our team coordinating work right according to the scheduled plan – this is the price of the successful holiday season!

New beginning for the students
The new wing at the at Lauder Javne Jewish Community School was just opened on a lovely event.
Realiscon was in charge for the project management, design management and technical supervision – it was a pleasure to work on this job together with the designer Tiba Architect Studio and the execution team of EBH Invest Kft. The construction works was finished at the end of the school year and during summer it had been finished perfectly. The signification of a development like this is quite clear when the whole community is there to celebrate together as the new building opens.
Wish you all this kind of heartwarming experiences!

A good development project should be in harmony with its surroundings
Property Forum interview
The „big picture” in the construction business means that buildings are not only service lots for special purposes as homes, offices or stores. They are a part of the cultural and ecological system of a city or area.
It is essential to integrate all the new projects to their environment at the highest level of awareness. These thoughts might sound obvious, but it is not always easy to carry out during the jobs.
This is why it is important to express and define all the issues of this topic from time to time and find ways to build this mindset to our daily practice. The permanently improving sustainability features always provide new challenges. Managing director of Realiscon Zsolt Hintenberger was asked about these questions in a current interview of Property Forum right before the CEE Property Forum Vienna event, where we will have the chance to go on about ESG compliance and EU regulations.
28th August 2023
Ready to go!
A huge industrial unit was just opened in IGPark Miskolc for production puposes of BOSCH.
Realiscon was in charge for extended technical supervision during the whole process of this massive development by InfoGroup – Real Estate. The execution phase was started in June 2022 and finished in order in August 2023 by PallérCsarnok Kft.
The prefabricated, reinforced concrete pillar structure encloses a 19,000 sqm area, which will serve as a production and logistic hall.
The building is located in the Mechatronikai Park of Miskolc which is a quickly developing zone, and we are proud that we could contribute with a brand new and significant project. Since the job was a „built to suit” solution, the implementation happened right according to the requirements of BOSCH who will be the long-term renter of the building. Everything is ready for start. Sounds effective? We think so!
31th July 2023
Sailing season again!
A new sailing port will be built at the northern corner of the lake Balaton by the city of Balatonfűzfő.
Realiscon got the water-side part of the project in August of 2022 and we have started the design phase immediately.
Wetland and port projects require special awareness and experience, but this kind of field is one of our favourite!
The owner of the port will be the city council of Balatonfűzfő, and the NordPoint Sailing Association will be in charge for the operation. Their main goal is to train new generations of sailers, the place will be perfect for sailing courses and other events also. The coast-side job is by FŰZFŐ-TERV Építész Iroda Kft.
Realiscon team made 6 versions of the design and started the preliminary examinations (geodesic and soil mechanics test) back in September of 2022. After this we were working on the documentation of the results and analyse the local ecosystem’s floral and animal population, in particular the protected species.
Now we are finalizing the design and this means that the execution work is about to start. The port will be ready for the 2024 season! It will be ideal for 40-45 ships and hopefully will help to attract many new fans for the „boatiful” lifestyle of sailing.

End of action, start of vacation!
It’s a special pleasure to work for the next generation’s good, and this is what we all have been experiencing during along the development project at Lauder Javne Jewish Community School.
The new wing of the building is 1200 sqm, and located at a sloping area. A new gym hall and its service rooms were placed to under the ground, and new classrooms were made at the ground floor.
It was a challenging task to connect the new unit levels with the former existing spaces of the school, but the design of Tiba Architects Studio turned out to be an excellent solution for this problem.
Another important circumstance was that the school was operating like ever during the construction works. The scheduling and the organisation of the project was mainly defined by this condition. Thanks to the solution oriented attitude of every participants and their perfect cooperation for the sake of the common goal, all the deadlines were complied through the period of the job – which was a full year. The students were welcomed to watch the actual construction works from a fully safe distance anytime when they wanted to.
Realiscon team was in charge for the preparation works, the design management, the project management and the technical supervision as well. Execution team of EBH Invest Kft was the perfect partner for this job: they reacted quickly and smart for each and every issue.
In the next step we thankfully give the field for the following works: the new interior spaces can be finished nicely for the students during the summer break.

High-level improvement: done!
Attractive building with high-leveled services: the new, giant gem of the Corvin Innovation Campus phase I. is completed!
Realiscon was in charge for the technical supervision of the project, and proudly participated in this special job to build together such an amazing place!
Relaxation and training room, library is available for individual and community self-care purposes of the users of the building on the ground floor. In the inner patio there is a park with rest zone. The building is not only prepared for the human workers but their pawsy partners also: dog-friendly services waiting for them inside and outside. Plus, another new public park was created in front of the building by the investor.
On the underground levels there are electric car chargers, bicycle service point, changing room and shower room. And since the whole unit was designed to be contactless where possible, during we are accessing one part of the building from another, it is easy to stay safe thanks to the modern automatic systems. Of course, these all services are demanding significant sources of energy: they got it from the building’s own solar panels, rainwater collectors and other sustainable solutions. The future is here!

Tour de Team!
This is the 3rd year when our colleagues are forming teams and participate in the international #BikeToWork challenge with an inside competition.
The weather was not always friendly, but a little rain does not stop our most committed riders. This event is always a delightful community experience since we all like to spin up a bit, and it is a great way to train or relax.
The team names showed well the attitude from the very first moment: „Tekergők” (Reelers), „Pisztácia nem is volt” (There were no pistachios) and „Blade Bikers”. The „Pistachio” team is leading currently, they collected 159 kilometres until this Friday midday. Their motto „we may have chocolate yet” turned out quite motivating, no doubt they have such fun during their journey.
The award ceremony will happen on Monday, but the winner owns the prize only until next year’s challenge, when Realiscon teams will get in the race again!

Six colleagues of #Realiscon team are leading the process and controlling all the parameters step-by-step constantly in cooperation with the or competent team of Market Építő Zrt. as the execution partner. The interior content and the external composition of the building both are original and special. The emblematic design was made by Óbuda Design Stúdió Kft.
We are eagerly waiting for the next phases to achieve!

Three Corners, four stars, endless improvement
We launched a hotel project again at the end of 2022. The scene is downtown Budapest, Nagymező street.
The execution phase started in November 2022, right after the tender process. The dismantle went on from November to February, and then the structure works started by the execution team of BMP Építőipari Zrt. Architectural design is made by the Hélis Kft.
With plus 2 level the building will be complete of 64 room appropriate for leisure or business travellers even, in the excellent quality of a 4-star hotel. While we try to keep the budget rational, creativity is the priority of the layout, and of course the perfect service of the future guests is a must. For this challenge we are happy to use all of our wide-ranged experience in hotel development from the past years!
However the building is not a monument, its history is appealing: after the original construction in 1886 it was a motel already. In addition, the area is part of the UNESCO world heritage. Among all the particular walls of the district we hope that we will be able to not only create a spectacular design but a real new attitude also. This is how #hotelsbyrealiscon goes!

When EFFICIENCY is the key
We just closed an impressive office renovation project for #MVM in the city of Szeged at the end of 2022.
Cost efficiency was in the focus of the project. Improving the mechanical and electric systems was the most important goal to make the four leveled, 3000 sqm building more economic. This renewed technical content has been covered by modest, but attractive design elements for a proper working environment. As it is visible on the results, efficiency can be appealing!

Collecting GREEN POINTS again!
A 58,000 sqm industrial hall development arises at HelloParks Páty and Realiscon is in charge of the BREEAM new construction qualification.
We are working on the qualification of the design stage currently. At this point of the process the Interim Design Stage Certificate is the reward of a proper documentation. After this the execution documentation is in order: we are getting this ready also, onsite inspections and preparation works are going so. This kind of file is aimed to get the post-construction stage certification.
To reach the ‘outstanding’ certification we need to get all the possible credits, therefore a very accurate and deliberate concept is a must. The teamwork is essential: every associate of the project have to pay attention at the first place to the environmentally conscious aspect. Our partners and our client is committed equally in this challenge, this way we can count on each other in this exceptional mission.

After entering through the secession facade we are headed to the present’s indoor solutions. A nice lobby and reception is welcoming the visitors. Guests will find renovated bathrooms, new surfaces, sufficient charging sources even via USB-connection. ”Behind the scenes” new technical equipments were installed in the basement, the electrical network was improved, the cargo lift was renovated and changing rooms, service units were built in for the staff.
All these developments were happened while the hotel was still operating, but we considered this as an additional challenge in the project of #hotelsbyRealiscon. We were responsible for TDD, design management, project management and the technical supervisor job. Our team started the works in April of 2021 together with the execution team of BMP Építőipari Zrt.

The facade is spectacular, the sky bar offers a great view to the city sights, the public transport is easily available, the spot is right at the route of the famous Flower Carnevale.
Realiscon was responsible for the design management in the earlier stage, but the project management, the technical supervision and the LEED-certificate is also our job here. It is quite a pleasure to work on this hotel from the closeness of our office in the city of Debrecen.
The ground works were started in July of 2021, and two underground levels of garage have been completed.
The structural construction works by A-HÍD Zrt. passed the level of the ground already and will keep following until the 7th floor. The structure will reach its highest point before this winter.

The newly developed Sail Center of Balatonfüred is waiting the boats after a perfectly executed job.
Realiscon was responsible for designreview and technicalsupervision here.
Wetland and port projects are always exciting tasks, specially when there are new technologies to implement.
This was the first time when prefabricated piles, joists and pathway items were used at a port of Balaton.
More than 400 reinforced concrete piles and a new, fixed pier was installed flawlessly after the old pieces were removed.
The jetty was relocated, a crane was built in, and e-mobility services were set up for electric charged boats.
The development had been ready for this season, and hopefully the port will be a perfect start point of many adventures in the future!

It’s always great to acknowledge when the press is paying attention to green solutions.

Since our mission is based on the principles of sustainability our know-how is built up fully on this mindset. As he explains, this attitude has to be present from the very early stages for effective progress: „The sustainable design does not start at construction, but choosing the land – that’s the most important.”

Summer breaks, work is on!
We are working on a new building to improve the students’ possibilities and the educational performance at Lauder Javne School.
Realiscon is responsible for the desing management and project management, the cost management and the technical supervison also while the design was made by the Tiba Architects Studio. The best timing to start the actual work on field was the end of the school year, so the implementer company EB Hungary Invest Kft. ’s team arrived in the middle of June to the Budakeszi út site.
The concept of the new building is defined mainly by the existing buildings and the area of the hillside where they are located. The new unit will contain a gymnasium and several classrooms. Since the job will be done in an operating school, it is quite important to separate the work zone well for safety reasons, but to provide chance for the kids to see what’s happening. We prepare small peek holes to make them able to watch the construction process.

During this time our team was participating in the development of a sustainable building with the most modern technical service systems.
While the Ferenczi Holding showroom is for present the newest samples of premium sanitary products and fittings, the whole building is a great example of modern technologies also.
Heat-pump equipment is responsible for tempering the offices, service units and the logistics hall. Working areas are made with high-quality materials and furniture in order to the wellbeing of employees. For the vehicles of clients and suppliers electric chargers are provided. Undoubtedly a perfect prominent project for BREEAM certificate. Not a surprise that we also loved to work here!

Realiscon’s Bike To Work challenge .
Half of the Realiscon team participated in the Bike To Work challenge in the last two weeks.
Three group of our colleagues were racing for the prize with and collected the kilometers.
The closing event was the Bike To Work Day on 20th of May.
Our teams reached 918 km during the challenge, which is a huge progress since the last year’s result, which was 597 km!
This community activity was a great example of teamwork. One of the member of „Suhanó Küllők” team was learning to ride a bicycle to participate in this very challenge with the full support of her colleagues. Some members came to office with bicycle every day, few of them ride to the meeting destinations also, but for home-officers it was also a great occasion for a short trip to spin up. Our most enthusiastic colleague (Péter Kulcsár-Elek) ride 145 km during this period. Everybody made it on his or her own way, but it was great to see how the team members are motivating each other. ‘Bringa Banda’ team leaded at the start, but on the second week ‘Flying Bike’ team seemed to got real wings and happened to be a quite strong competitor.
Finally Bringa Banda (Dóra Plájer, Brigitta Sipos, Andras Kranicz, David Jakab) won, the cup is theirs for this year!
Congratulations go for all participants and we are ready to ride along!

Construction process: where the DESIGN IMAGE is converted INTO REALITY
The Grand Hotel Savoy**** reconstruction by the Austrian EST Hotels & Residences is finished.
We jumped in at the middle of an investment process as the project manager and technical supervisor to ensure the smooth and secure finalizing of the reconstruction. Our project management team members were able to capitalize on their earlier experience in hotel development successfully and expand it again.
Our team faced many challenges during the project with it’s 5000 sqm area in total from the basement to the 7th floor and the 100 rooms.
Beyond the restaurant and conference hall there is wellness zone and a rooftop part also.
We got to coordinate design processes along the implementation phase and be present onsite with many team members permanently.
The downtown location had its own complications because of the limited extensions of the territory also. We were responsible for the coordination of various foreign partners. The Realiscon team executed all these duties with high attention for the client’s demands.
As always, we work to transform challenges into tasks to solve, and tasks into reality.

This amount of material drew the 9 levels of this giant building – plus 3 floors underground in less than a year. 360+ pieces of concrete test cubes were casted and there were consistency checks at 75+ times.
At the first unit the mechanical, electrical and facility works are just started. The shell is waiting for all the exceptional services planned in it!

GREEN GOALS in Bartók Udvar!
Our next gratifying job is to reach a high level BREEAM certificate in the new wings of Bartók Udvar, Budapest.
This development by Infogroup will provide 24,000 sqm office area beyond the current unit of the building. A particularly conscious space will be created. Bartók Udvar will not use gas utilities at all, at the same time will maintain more than enough (20% of the parking capacity) electric car charging stations, and bicycle storage for a smaller village’s population.
The scene is a perfect multitransport destination as public services are excellent here even.
A minősítés első állomása a decemberben záruló kiviteli tervezést követően az időközi Design Stage Assessment lezárása.

Two-legged residents in the CITY TO COME!
A new city park will be created on a 36 hectares area at North-Csepel by the BFK (Budapest Improvement Centre), which will enclose a 2.3 hectares wetland part as well.
This is what we call good news, since these projects are close to our heart and there will be plenty of advantages for the city residentials also. And when we say city residentials, we are thinking on the newly moving ins too! In a wetland area like this we will have good chance to greet particular species as the reed warbler (cserregő nádiposzáta) or the cuckoo (kakukk). We are quite excited to work on their new home.

ANOTHER DAY in the office – design project at the lake Balaton!
Our client MÁV (the Hungarian State Railways) awarded Realiscon with the contract of a wetland engineering design project at Balatonkenese which is contained the plans of shelter stones and a temporary stone loader.
Since we are devoted to many kinds of wetland jobs, happily accepted the challenge to work at a particular place like this. In this project we were responsible for the home of residentials as the fire-belled toad, the bluethroat, and the European mudminnow.
The temporary stone loader will provide the possibility to settle the stones to their place to protect the railway embankment at a section where there is no access for road transport. Our goal was to solve this problem with full attention toward the natural values of this environment – which is always the most important and most exciting point of a wetland project.

Aiming HIGH!
This greenfield investment of Ferenczi Holding’s logistics centre is one of the most spectacular projects of our team.
The result will be a new BREEAM-rated industrial complex at Kistarcsa, near to Budapest. After the successful completion of design management and construction tender process we started onsite works in the spring of 2021. This period is undoubtedly memorable for our team since we planted 9 little trees to this area on the International Forest Day in March.
Let’s see what is happening until then. Beyond the preparation works our experts also perform the complete project management and technical inspection tasks. The 7200 m2 logistics centre will include 6,500 sqm modern warehouse space and 700 sqm contemporary service area and showroom. As mentioned, these new facilities will also meet the requirements of the BREEAM sustainability standard also.
In the case of our mandate contains the project management and technical supervision, we have the possibility to coordinate and control strictly the different phases and processes. This method provides the most effective cooperation of all the participants of the project.
After the site preparations and foundation works were ready, the roof and the walls, the whole structure have been done in the summer. The following step is the completion of the screed and the insulation of the roof. This very unit will be the space of the logistics hall and its serving areas on 4800 sqm at this phase.

Synergy between MODERN TECHNOLOGY and ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
Internal refurbishment of the Krausz Palace.
The investor, AEW asset management company set the goal to create a high-quality office complex with a historical atmosphere that also satisfies the needs of its tenants for modern technologies. In a building with such a particular characteristic as in Krausz Palace it is a complicated challenge, but thanks to our experience in BREEAM assessment we have the proper solution for this scenario.
One of the most exciting phase of our work was the preparation and coordination of the concept plan. Krausz Palace is a valuable building both historically and architecturally. A listed building was built in 1885 in Andrássy út, a part of UNESCO’s World Heritage site. Several famous artists participated in the construction: Károly Lotz (interior murals), Gyula Donáth and József Róna (facade sculptures) and Luigi Depold (mosaics).
Renovation of a historical monument building is always a special project. The value in the details of Krausz Palace is truly worth the plus effort and attention during the works. Since our team is responsible for the project management we can control and hold together the processes professionally. This provides the consistency of a particular challenge like this. Since technical supervision is also our job, we guarantee the quality of the implementation. At the same time this project is a great occasion to improve our knowledge and methods on this topic.
The facade of the Palace was renovated meeting the art historical standards in 2002. Presently preparing a complete internal refurbishment and modernization process. As more and more office building refurbishment project is committed taking care about the future residents, a high-levelled BREEAM assessment is a must in this case also. Efficient building services and a sustainability-driven architectural approach makes it possible to obtain an Excellent BREEAM Refurbishment rating.
Working on this goal the next step is to open up the interior spaces, but during these processes, we must keep the restrictions of the listed building of course.
After our concept plan had been approved we managed to find an excellent partner for the design exercise. The works are about to start in August 2021, and last until the summer of 2022.

LEARNING STILL!
A great mandate of ours is an educational institution for the Central European University, which will be a temporary campus of their students for a few years, while a whole new campus will be completed in 2025.
In this project our teams are responsible for project management and the cost management as well. Since the client and the place of the implementation is in Vienna also, it is a special quest for our operation.
Starting the execution of the third phase in these days means that we needed extra attention to pay about cost management. The material prices are changing as fast as lightning!
We started to work on this exceptional project almost two years ago. With the full coordination of our project management team we have closed two phases successfully already, including the preparation works and tendering processes. We implemented the ideas and goals of the client while we were responsible for the proper cooperation of the participants of the project. Not at the last place, we managed to stay within the planned budget and deadlines tailored by the University. In the last 12 months, we got to handle the coordination under complicated circumstances, but we always found the way.
During the students’ home-schooling year Realiscon team is evolving new methods also to keep in safe but direct contact between Vienna and Budapest with the client and the partners even. Hopefully, the university citizens will be able to seize the campus soon, until then we transform the whole building into a perfect place to research and develop.

LUXURY and HISTORY in the heart of Budapest.
We are proud to announce that the new 5 stars luxury hotel, Aurea Ana Palace Hotel has been completed on Akadémia Street.
Aurea Ana isn’t just another 5 stars hotel in Budapest… it is a building that is telling the history of the past. The dream of the investor, Eurostars Hotels was to ensure the full comfort of a luxury hotel while evoking the atmosphere of a historical Budapest building which had hosted often Queen Sissy and Franz Joseph I, the Emperor of Austria, and King of Hungary.
We faced real challenges during the implementation of the interior design.
Working in close co-operation with the investor and the contractor, Market Építő Zrt we managed to meet all the challenges and find solutions.
Realiscon as the technical supervisor was responsible to determine and monitor the high quality requirements of the renovation of the existing values.
Congratulations to the whole team and thanks to Ákos Marx MRICS for his great work!
The life of the hotel starts long before the first guest checks in, but the dream comes true when the guests arrive.
