The latest episode of the Portfolio Business Podcast explores the transformation of Budapest’s office market, the evolution of tenant expectations, and the growing importance of sustainability — in conversation with experts from iO Partners. Quality standards and ESG requirements have become fundamental expectations for premium office buildings, while tenant cycles are also undergoing significant changes. These shifting trends, combined with a generational shift in the labor market, are shaping the outlook for the future.
Budapest’s office market is undergoing a major transformation, where tenant needs and sustainability considerations are playing an increasingly central role — as highlighted in the new Portfolio Business Podcast episode featuring Krisztina Major, Head of Office Transactions, and Péter Würsching, Director of Leasing at iO Partners. The experts shared their insights on current market dynamics and future prospects.
They discussed in detail how tenant expectations are changing, emphasizing that quality and ESG factors are becoming decisive in leasing decisions. Green certifications are no longer just marketing tools but have become basic requirements for premium office properties. The evolving tenant cycles are also introducing new challenges for both developers and operators.
According to the experts at iO Partners, medium- and long-term prospects are heavily influenced by the ongoing generational shift in the labor market. The younger workforce’s expectations are reshaping office usage patterns and tenant preferences — creating new opportunities for developers who offer innovative solutions.
The experts agreed that while demand remains strong for high-quality, well-located, and sustainable office buildings, the declining number of new developments poses a significant challenge for the market.
