HelloParks begins construction on two new logistics halls near Budapest

HelloParks has launched construction on two new logistics facilities in Fót and Páty, located north and west of Budapest, respectively. Together, the new developments will add approximately 88,000 square metres of industrial space to the company’s national portfolio. Upon completion, HelloParks will operate 11 buildings across its megapark network by the end of 2025.

The new buildings are being constructed in response to sustained demand, with existing warehouses at both sites nearing full occupancy. The facilities are being developed to comply with the highest sustainability standards, including BREEAM’s “Outstanding” certification and the requirements of the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities.

At the Páty site, located in the western agglomeration of Budapest, construction of the fourth building (PT5) is progressing, with structural work completed and concrete flooring next in line. The 42,000 sqm BigBox facility is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2025. Once finished, it will increase the total industrial space in HelloParks’ Páty megapark to 184,000 sqm. The park currently has an 84% occupancy rate and is home to companies such as dm-Drogerie Markt, DHL, Gebrüder Weiss, and Transdanubia. The 87-hectare park is situated near key motorway connections including the M1, M0, and M7.

In Fót, to the north of Budapest, groundwork has begun on the FT3 warehouse, a 46,000 sqm BigBox unit expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Once operational, the Fót megapark will comprise four buildings with a combined total of 164,000 sqm of leasable space. The location, adjacent to the M0 and M3 motorways, currently hosts tenants such as BYD and Samsung. The park has capacity for up to 254,000 sqm of industrial space, and all completed buildings have achieved EU Taxonomy compliance.

HelloParks’ broader development strategy includes megaparks in Fót, Páty, Alsónémedi, and Maglód, with all new properties built according to BREEAM and EU Taxonomy standards. Five buildings in the company’s portfolio have received BREEAM’s highest “Outstanding” rating, and two others are rated “Excellent.”

Both FT3 and PT5 will incorporate features such as heat pump-based heating and cooling, rooftop solar panels, and advanced building management systems to improve energy efficiency and monitor building operations. The facilities will also include water and energy infrastructure capable of detecting leaks and tracking utility usage.

Tenants will have access to HelloParks’ mobile application, which connects with the building management systems and enables remote control of HVAC, lighting, and other operational settings.

According to the company, development activity is aligned with demand, and the focus remains on providing modern, energy-efficient industrial spaces that support long-term operational needs.
