Simulator Mission no.3: Pápa
One of the most special field of experience and knowledge Realiscon team ever achieved is the aircraft training system facility’ development.
The high-level competency and our NATO Supplier qualification made possible for us to participate in a quite exceptional mission: the development of a C-17 aircraft training system facility at the 47th Airbase, Pápa (nicknamed ”Panther”).
The design of the unit was created by Óbuda Építész Stúdió and the main contractor is Strabag MML. Realiscon was responsible for Technical Supervision, Cost Control, HSE Management and Quality Management.
Our previous civil simulator centre development projects were carried out in Budapest and Rome on behalf of a civil airline. This time our clients are the NSPA (NATO Support and Procurement Agency) and NAM PO (NATO Airlift Management Program Office), and the development is on behalf of the Strategic Airlift Capability Program providing word class military airlift access to its 12 member nations.
The Pápa base C-17 simulator project began in 2023. The new 1438 sqm building has a 14 m high simulator bay and a single-story wing where the operational area, offices of the C-17 simulator and the personnel training and briefing rooms take place. High-performance solar panel system is installed on the roof of the training centre, which supports the environmental-friendly maintenance of the building with renewable energy in addition to the heat pump system for heating and cooling. Electric car charging devices are available at the parking area of the unit for the vehicle fleet. Our job is about to complete in these days, the project is finishing soon. This wasn’t the first time for us to build a simulator centre, but hopefully not the last either!

Latest trends for the newest stars by Three Corners
Anna Hotel is one of the prosperous properties of Three Corners Hotels & Resorts at Budapest, which the developer decided to refurbish and expand in 2022.
Due to our previous successful cooperation at Avenue Hotel, we earned the tasks of Design Management, Quality Supervisor, Project Management and Technical Support. The general designer was Hélis Kft, while the interior designer was Csilla Kelemen. Starting with the design management, Realiscon team got involved in Q2 2023. The execution phase started in March of 2024 with Meto Kft.
The hotel was fully closed during the works, since all the rooms were repainted and refreshed, even if they were in good condition. Meanwhile the common spaces were renovated more thoroughly. Beyond this, the building was extended with an additional floor on the top, providing place for new guest rooms and operation areas. At this structural development the design followed the original building’s characteristic.
After the reopening Three Corners Hotel Anna offers more high-level service and innovative, modern social spaces. Since this hotel is targeting the young generations of tourists, the most updated style and ambience is essential. Fancy, colourful elements of the latest trends are completing the design of lobby and restaurant. The inner courtyard was equipped with a closable pergola above the terrace, which provides additional capacity for the restaurant.
The project did not only focus on aesthetic and functional improvements but created the possibility of some technical development also. The heating/cooling system of the backside part of the building was modernized and solar panels were installed on the roof in order to optimize the environmental impact. The building just got the occupancy permit in March 2025, so the new guests are welcome to arrive!

Second splash
The huge, 67,000 sqm office complex development named H²Offices on the Vaci Corridor of Budapest started in 2020 by Skanska.
Realiscon got involved to the project from the 2nd phase as Technical Inspector in 2024, and found quite honourable to participate in the implementation of a job which aimed the sustainability and supporting its users at this high levels.
The first building of the three units is already completed. With the progress of the 2nd unit the original concept of Danish ARROW Architects will show up more toned: the structure of the masses will get connected with each other, with the city scene and the garden space in between them. The general designer behind the idea was STUDIO IN-EX Építészeti és Mérnöki Zrt.
Characteristics of the new, 22,000 sqm building will be following the first one and even raising the bar in terms of excellent quality in sustainability, using the most modern methods and responsible energy management, all supporting the wellbeing of its future users. The developer is fully committed to create an exceptional environment for the tenants: at the end of this road Skanska aspires for the official certifications of LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, Access4You Gold, WiredScore and Smartscore also! Until then there is much to do, and the general contractor Fitout Zrt. is right on it. The ground works are being completed soon, the foundation is in under construction. All eyes of us are on the next steps!

Highest level of care
Proudly sharing the news about HelloParks’ new logistics warehouse development! The HelloParks Páty PT2 hall has just received a precious qualification: an Outstanding certificate by BREEAM New Construction.
Moreover, the result is in the top 3 in Hungary with no additional remark or modifications required to achieve this acknowledgement. “No comment” is not always a good sign, but in this case – an excellent credit about the performance we have accomplished together with HelloParks.
Realiscon team was responsible for the BREEAM assessment, and the expectations were the highest qualification aligned with EU Taxonomy requirements.
Logistic facilities rarely aspire for such high level of conscious operation, but the HelloParks team is committed to creating this kind of work environment. We proudly participate in the challenge to reach the highest possible rank of carbon neutrality and sustainability even in industrial construction. This new building is the second phase of a huge development located at M1 highway near Páty. The megapark will offer logistics and warehouse services across a 384,000 sqm building complex.
The previous phase is also aiming BREEAM qualifications in the same “league” with our cooperation. The result is just on the way, we can’t wait to see how it turns out!

New design, new goals!
There is no season without a hotel project! The demolition phase of Hotel Soho renovation process has just started.
Realiscon was assigned by Salomon 1965 Hospitality last autumn, when the new interior concept was designed. And mentioning design, we are talking about the finest, high quality Spanish trends of FURTIVO. The new image will represent the most modern styles at all costs and hopefully will work as perfect eyecandy for new generations of tourists in the middle of Budapest downtown, Dohány utca.
Realiscon is responsible for project management and quantity surveying, while the construction partner is Unitrust Zrt.
The main spaces as lobby, restaurant, bar and all the rooms of the hotel will be renewed and refurbished. During the works a few technical improvements are to be executed also.
We will get back with the result of this job just in a few months, it will worth to check it out!

BOHO Hotel Budapest**** finished!
Client GCA Architects is an excellent partner as all their buildings are. The first BOHO Hotel was opened in Prague, and the Budapest site is the next stop of this unique journey.
The Spanish influence is undeniable: all the details and so the whole concept is appealing. BOHO is a four star hotel on 4600 sqm with 63 rooms at the middle of city, in a district called „Palotanegyed”, Mikszáth Kálmán square. An eclectic-stlyed listed monument has been connected with a brand new structured unit.
Realiscon was responsible for Project Management and Technical Supervision. The main entrance is at the listed building which has been renovated according to the original design. Near to the lobby and bar there is a library, office area and a few residence suites inside. In between 2018-2020 the full outside renovation of the original building was made, so as the demolition of the ruined building in Szentkirályi street. The new unit was formed at the place of it until the shell-and-core state. Underground garage level, a mini-spa and 6 floor for the hotel rooms was built during the later years of the development. One of the restaurant terraces is at the Mikszáth tér with the vibe of the busy city centre, the other one is a much more silent garden area with two old and giant trees. The rooms are more spacious as usual hotel rooms, and the stlye is true high-end design. The pictures can tell!

Ready with the shopping already!
Our Debrecen office was responsible for the technical supervision during the renovation of Debrecen Plaza recently.
It was essential to finish it in time, and they could handle the jobs effectively at the site. The shopping centre was built in 1998, and the interior parts were renovated in the past years. Since the industry is full of new solutions, it was worth to make an effort and improve the exterior of the building so.
The project started this summer, and our client’s goal was to finish it right before the winter holiday shopping season. Fibre cement coverage and a new, energy-saving LED-lighting system was installed to the facade. The job is just done, the building will shine in lighting decorations soon!

Take-off in Rome of Wizz Air Training Centre
The Wizz Air Training Center was opened in Rome, Fiumicino Airport on the 1st October – and this is a closing of a remarkable period for our team.
The first Wizz Air training unit was built at Budapest in 2018 – also with Realiscon’s cooperation, and a few years after we had the opportunity to handle a project of another one: this time with the developer ADR. The inauguration event of the new center was held in the presence of stakeholders and leading media representatives.
Now the training sessions are to be started in the center where two full-flight A3205 Airbus simulators had been installed in the past few months by the CAE, which is the global leader company in the field of flight training technology. The facility is only a few steps away from the main terminal of Fiumicino Airport and takes place on 2500 sqm. Near to the simulators there are classrooms, computer rooms, briefing rooms, multimedia meeting rooms and offices also. A huge system for a huge purpose: 4800 pilot sessions will be able to held in the center yearly.
During the construction period our team members were lucky enough to enjoy the Italian coffee traditions for long: they followed and controlled the process directly with permanent presence. This is how we succeed to ensure every detail to meet with Wizz Air’s ambitious goals – and our local partner Fortebis SrL was a quite effective participant of the process. We provided end-to-end project management, overseeing all from design management and technical supervision to interior design. At the same time we were honored to undertook the reconstruction of an aging 1970s facility, and helped to transform an outdated building into a modern training center. We collaborated closely with Wizz Air’s internal teams of training, HR, security, IT, purchasing, marketing, training center operations, airline operations. Our mission was to fully align every aspect of the center with the airline’s current and future needs.
Now we are just wishing a nice flight everyone!

Hilton Garden Inn just opened in Debrecen
We proudly guided through the developer Tetrecen Kft on the process of a new international brand’s arrival to the city of Debrecen.
The result is a spectacular facade with 7 floors and a ground floor behind it, plus 2 underground floors for parking right in the center, 101 fully equipped rooms, event and conference hall, lounges, and the sky bar, offering an exceptional view to Debrecen’s main attribute, the Great Church.
All the rooms fulfil the expectations of the future guests of the high-quality Hilton brand. The spaces of resting spreads calmness, while the other parts of the building have lively vibes.
Beyond these there is one more outstanding advantage of the building: it got the LEED Gold certification, which is not a common thing at the hotel development industry – yet.
Realiscon was responsible for Design Management at the beginning of this road, and followed it with project management, LEED Assessement and technical supervision. From the “front row” we watched this building grow in the Darabos utca from one level to another, then the intense process of interior spaces forming. We loved this job, but now it is time to give way for tourists and business travellers!

New stars in the heart of Budapest
Three Corners Avenue Hotel**** opened right according to the schedule at the end of July, when the last elements are got into their place and the occupancy permit arrived.
We at Realiscon are very proud that we had the chance to participate in this project.
How did it start at the end of 2022?: The goal was to transform the four leveled office building to a 4-star hotel. The original house was built in 1886 with an archaic facade, many historic ornaments, placed at a UNESCO World Heritage site – case about one would say „it’s complicated”?
We started with the cost management tasks and two additional levels were installed to the building. Thorough interior changes came after, so the building was converted to a rich 4-star hotel style.
During the development Realiscon was responsible for value engineering, project management and technical supervising.
Now it is a six-leveled building, and however the facade’s condition did not demand big alterations, the detailed interior design made a huge difference inside. The 64 guest rooms, the relaxation zone and the restaurant, bar all fully suitable for the perfect serving of the guests.
Three Corners Avenue Hotel is the fifth hotel of our client Three Corners Hotels & Resorts at Budapest downtown. Their next project is the extension of Three Corners Anna Hotel, and we gratefully join in this job again!

Opening soon
The Hilton Garden Inn Debrecen City Center will open at the end of the summer – and when it comes to this hotel brand, it’s definitely a big event!
The high quality is perhaps not even worth mentioning, but this building has some special “extras,” such as the rooftop terrace with its unique city panorama and the hotel’s location in the very centre of Debrecen. In addition, the hotel has been designed with environmentally friendly solutions that will convince even the most conscious travellers!
The structure was completed two years ago, and we are now putting the finishing touches on it. Small and large equipment, furniture, and all the necessary accessories, from curtains to tablecloths, are arriving in these days.
After the HotelStars certification, which is currently taking place, the new Hilton Garden Inn Debrecen will be ready to welcome guests in all its 101 rooms, leisure areas, and conference rooms. If guests can take their eyes off the spectacular façade they’ll be seeing for the first time from the hotel – but if they can, there’s plenty more to see inside!
Realiscon provides design management, project management, technical supervision services, and LEED consultancy for this unique development.

Ready for the views!
We ourselves would happily stay a bit more at Budapart L building, but have to give the opportunity to the future residents as the project is finished: the most particular element of this new residential area at Kopaszi-gát by Property Market got the Occupancy Permit.
The execution team Market Építő made an excellent quality job with all the high-leveled materials which were designed to this premium athmosphere by Óbuda Építész Stúdió.
The project started yet in 2021. Realiscon was responsible for project management, cost management, design supervision, and technical supervision.
It took some time, but the goal wasn’t less than to create a special luxury environment for 140 flats, 3 commercial units, and all the related parking spaces on 18,500 sqm in total on 21 levels.
Spacious flats were designed with large balconies, equipped with smart services and premium materials. One third of the parking places provides electric chargers. The location is not only a popular scene with a unique social destination but extremely spectacular in itselfs – the L building image creates a matching remarkable setting.
Thanks to our team of Péter Kulcsár-Elekár Senior Project Manager, Levin Daniel Quality Controller, Gergely Horvath Technical Supervisor, Zsuzsanna Kocsis Cost Manager, Zoltan Csipai Technical Controller in Electricity, Tibor Mucsányi Technical Controller in Mechanics the project was in safe hands all along during the 3 years despite the challenges of this exceptional job.

We must see this!
A significant urban development is going in Vienna on the site of an old gravel pit. 14 colleagues of Realiscon team visited the site this Monday
The huge initiative started 10 years ago and will be finished almost the same time from now on. The aim is to ease the housing difficulties of the city.
The Aspern Seestadt project is a huge and representative investment where 25,000 citizens could find new hashtag flats. Most of them are designed for affordable housing purposes. The location is connected with U2 subway line in direction to the Vienna city centre. Shops, restaurants and other services will also take place in the new units.
The city of Vienna, figures of business and government sector have formed the organization of Wien 3420 Aspern Development Agency, which is responsible for this program. Social and community aspects are the main priorities of the project. The development contains many adaptive and costeffective solutions that will also help the sustainability.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Right in time!
Works are going strictly as planned at the Budapart L building development by the Property Market.
5th of May is the day of the topping out ceremony, when we stop for a moment. It is a great occasion to acknowledge the accurate and highly professional job of the whole team who managed to keep the deadlines, the costs and the quality standards also as planned.
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.

Next school level
Progress is intense at the Lauder Javne School development project.
The structure reached its highest level in December. Since then the execution team is working on the mechanical services and plasterboarding.
Our “young clients” are watching meanwhile and obviously will come to take their place in time. It’s a rare case when we know the future users of a building – unique and inspiring project!

Opening a new chapter!
A new hostel is opening in Budapest by Equity Point which has successful operating units in Chicago, Marrakesh and Barcelona already.
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.
This journey comes to its end now, and we are very proud to have been the part of it.

Debrecen, we are on!
Our team of Debrecen is managing the works of a hotel investment project by Tetrecen Kft in the downtown of the city.
101 rooms, restaurant, sky bar, recreation area, meeting and conference rooms will take place in the 4-star hotel. The location provides great opportunities for the business travellers and tourists also.
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.

New waves of the summer at Balatonfüred Port!
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!

„The best energy is which is not used”
Forbes magazine article
It’s always great to acknowledge when the press is paying attention to green solutions. This time Forbes made a summary about the sustainable house construction and Jakab Dávid, Realiscon shared his experience in topic. 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.

Up-to-date inside and outside!
The logistics center of Ferenczi Holding has been completed.
Construction of the logistics center at Kistarcsa is a project which Realiscon have been conducting from the infrastructure design through the design management , project management and technical supervison until the authorisation 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!

MOVEMENT forever!
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.

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.

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.

Our team proudly looked around at the newly operating Kozmo Luxury Hotel, where Realiscon were responsible for projectmanagement and the technicalsupervision during the development of this new hotel by GCA Architects.
Beyond the 5 star the building got „Leading Hotel of The World” certification first time in Hungary.
This week we had the chance to check the results during a professional tour and see the hotel as an operating unit, gathering senses and sights. Tímea Fazekas Senior Project Manager and Tamás Markovits the Leading Technical Supervisor guided our colleagues through the listed building.
During this project we were cooperating successfully with the foreign owner, designer and implementation team. We have also gained experience in special authority approvement processes of foreign design, equipment and technologies. All the lessons learned were worth to share with our colleagues.

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.
6th May 2021
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.

THE BEAUTY OF GREATNESS!

Art NOUVEAU…nouveau CONCEPT
The @Equity Point Holding continues its international expansion strategy and opens a new hostel in Budapest.
This Art Nouveau building of King’s Hotel in the Jewish quarter of Budapest downtown is operated as a 3-star hotel. The new operator Equity Point with its up-to-date approach is to transform the function into a hostel.
Our Technical Due Diligence in 2019 revealed that the building needs a massive renovation. We, together with Equity Point developed the design brief phrasing those essentials that specifies an attractive hostel. Since then, we have been through the conceptual and detailed design management and now we turn into the execution phase. We deliver complex project management & cost management throughout the whole development.
It has been serious work, now, ‘we just need to make it’.

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.
