The ACADEMIA office building in the heart of the city continues to strengthen its position in Budapest’s business scene. In the first half of 2024, renowned companies such as SAAB, Arago, Shapr3D, and Roland Berger have signed lease agreements.

Developed by ConvergenCE and Europa, ACADEMIA has become an increasingly popular destination for leading international corporations and domestic startups. Boasting over 12,500 square metres of modern office space, the building’s appeal is further enhanced by its unique blend of historical tradition and contemporary innovation, creating an ideal environment for businesses.

In the first six months of this year, ConvergenCE secured several notable lease agreements:

• SAAB, a global leader in defence and aerospace, will open its first Hungarian office in ACADEMIA in September 2024.
• Arago, a prominent player in the energy sector, has expanded its footprint to over 1,075 square metres.
• Shapr3D, a rapidly growing local IT startup, has nearly doubled its office space by moving to the building.
• Roland Berger, an international management consulting firm, will move into the building’s modern wing in July 2024.

Csaba Zeley, Managing Director of ConvergenCE, highlighted:

“The office market dynamics are evolving, with a growing demand for properties that offer unique services in prime locations. ACADEMIA is a prime example of this trend!”

ACADEMIA holds several prestigious industry certifications, including WiredScore Gold, and Access4You certifications and in the pre-certification phase for WELL Gold and Platinum and BREEAM In-Use Excellent, demonstrating the building’s commitment to sustainability and accessibility. ACADEMIA won the “Refurbished Office Building of the Year” award at the 2024 Office of the Year contest. In 2023, it won the 2023 CIJ Award for “Best Leading Green Development of the Year” and “Best Legacy (Reconstruction) Development of the Year.”

The success of ACADEMIA underscores that high-quality properties with unique features continue to attract significant interest. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, seek properties that offer long-term commitment opportunities and high quality.
