CTP continued its expansion in the Hungarian market through the acquisition of Rozália Park from Challenger, a 57,800 sq m logistics scheme directly adjacent the M1 to the west of Budapest.
The Budapest Research Forum (BRF, which comprises: CBRE, Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield, Eston International, JLL and Robertson Hungary) sets out below its Q1 2017 industrial market snapshot.
Almost twenty million square metres of modern industrial leasehold are currently available in Central Europe. So strong is the interest on behalf of occupiers that the share of available space has dropped to a historical low of 5.7 per cent. To compare – the share of available office spaces is double that amount (12 per cent). The information comes from findings by Cushman & Wakefield, which has been monitoring the industrial property market in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia over an extended period.
Both the development and take-up of industrial parks in Central Europe is continuing and slightly accelerating in comparison with last year, according to research from Cushman & Wakefield. The appetite for investing in commercial properties is also increasing, with a shortage on the supply side making buyers willing to pay more. This trend is most obvious for logistic and production facilities.

In Central Europe there is now almost 18 million sq m of modern industrial space for leasing, while ten years ago that figure was just 4.6 sq m. This volume is approaching the same levels as large Western European markets such as Germany, which currently has around 22 million sq m. These are the findings of Cushman & Wakefield’s Central European Industrial Team.
Cushman & Wakefield (C&W), leading global commercial real estate adviser, promoted István Fazekas Head of Industrial Department to Associate, with effect from April 2014. István’s recent appointment to Associate is an acknowledgement of his accomplishments in the Hungarian Industrial Team. He has been leading a team of 3 since 2012 and has largely contributed to C&W’s success in the past years to become market leaders in this field as well.
