Futureal is one of the few European development groups with extensive experience implementing large-scale mixed-use urban regeneration projects, transforming entire neighbourhoods. We have worked on decades-long projects in close cooperation with cities.
Budapest provides very little direct access to its main attraction, the Danube River. The Váci Road office corridor lacks services, public spaces and natural surroundings, great views and vibrant life. All this will change with Marina City, our large-scale mixed-use project that enjoys a unique 1.2-kilometre-long Danube waterfront promenade and park, uninterrupted views of the river and the Buda Hills, a full range of retail services, and direct access to the metro station.
In the last decade, we have become the market-leading office developer in Hungary, delivering award-winning, high-quality, sustainable, human-centred offices to our tenants.
Majestically curving over Hungary’s most prominent public transportation junction, surrounded by an outstanding retail and service environment and offering breathtaking views and visibility, this 65,000 sqm, the people-centred and sustainable complex is the largest office complex in Buda. It boasts outstanding multinational tenants, including Vodafone, BT, Oracle, Roche, Aldi, Infosys and Estée Lauder.
Both our state-of-the-art office buildings and the mixed-use environments meet the highest requirements of our tenants and help them attract and retain talent.
Located at CEE’s most significant mixed-use urban regeneration project in the heart of Budapest, the new IBM headquarters in the office complex enjoys the unique service environment, central location and outstanding accessibility of the ULI award-winning Corvin Promenade project, which was awarded the Best Mixed-Use Project in Europe.
With four large-scale ground-up shopping centre developments completed, three major retail redevelopment projects and the creation of a new high street, Futureal has gained deep and vast market-leading expertise in retail developments and redevelopments. Our sustainable, bustling, and innovative retail destinations energise neighbourhoods across CEE.
Buda’s largest shopping and entertainment centre, located at the country’s top transportation junction, is Hungary’s first smart plaza and features outstanding architectural and interior design solutions – a unique retail mix.

Cordia Romania develops sustainable and energy-efficient residential projects on land plots with good connections to public transportation and road infrastructure and easy access to parks and relaxation and leisure activities.
Our investment strategy is complementary in nature to our development activities and allows us to benefit from strong rental market fundamentals. Our investments include stakes in other residential platforms, including ARGO Properties N.V., a listed residential investor in Germany, and Auxesia Homes and St. Arthur Homes, two registered providers operating in the United Kingdom and offering affordable rental, and shared-ownership properties.
Cordia entered the German rental housing market through its investment in ARGO Properties N. ARGO’s shares were listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in spring 2021, and Cordia currently holds a 15%+ stake.
An essential step in our international expansion was our investment in the UK company Auxesia Homes in collaboration with our local strategic partner Matter Real Estate. Auxesia, a registered affordable housing provider, and provides affordable homes for public sector workers under the governance of the RSH. With this investment, we will help contribute to the future development of many new homes.
Also, in partnership with Matter Real Estate, we invested in St. Arthur Homes, which is also regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). Based in London, St. Arthur works to help those in the housing market who need help finding affordable housing by buying and managing shared-ownership homes.
While Cordia is primarily known as a developer, the group has also been increasingly active as an investor in the international residential real estate rental sector, including the creation of build-to-rent properties.
