Three awards recognised the professional excellence of Market Csoport at the ÉVOSZ end-of-year gala

The development represents high standards in terms of both architecture and sustainability. Energy-efficient operation is ensured by state-of-the-art solutions such as a heat pump system and solar panels, which significantly reduce the building's energy requirements and environmental impact.

Multifunctionality and sustainability in Székesfehérvár

The MET Arena in Székesfehérvár was also recognised with a Construction Industry Award. The multifunctional hall, which can accommodate 6,000 people, has become the new stronghold of domestic ice hockey, and with the opening of the arena, it can be expanded to accommodate 2,250 people, making it suitable for concerts and fairs as well.

The size of the facility is well illustrated by the fact that the roof structure, consisting of a 60-metre span, 650-tonne steel truss structure, was lifted into place by Hungary's largest mobile crane. The building's mechanical systems are completely gas-free: cooling and heating are provided by 204 ground probes and electricity, and more than 80 per cent of the water used for ice production is recycled, which is exemplary among facilities of similar size.

Award-winning strategy: the metamorphosis of Körszálló

In addition to architectural recognition, the communications activities of Market Csoport member Market Asset Management were also honoured. In the Construction Project Campaign of the Year category, the winner was the rebirth of Budapest Marriott Residences, which defines the Buda skyline, with the positioning of Körszálló. rel="noopener">Körszálló , which dominates the Buda skyline.

The campaign successfully reshaped public discourse on the renovation of this iconic building: initial debates about demolition were steered towards professionalism and rational value preservation through transparent, educational communication, while introducing the concept of „branded residence” to the domestic market. This was a complex campaign that, in addition to communicating with the public and the press about the construction, also established the Budapest Marriott Residences brand, they write.

„The awards we have now won confirm our commitment to not only constructing buildings, but also creating value. Whether it is saving a historic building using complex underground construction technology, building a modern sports hall or redefining the future of a building, our goal is always to combine quality and sustainability. I am proud of my colleagues who have solved these complex tasks at a world-class level, and I am particularly pleased that the communication of the renovation of Körszálló has also set an example: the building has been returned to the city's bloodstream, and its history and values have once again become close to the people. Market is a leader in the construction industry not only in terms of execution but also in terms of communication, because we believe that presenting stories and values is just as important as the construction itself.”
