Further high-rise buildings in Budapest

Apart from the 120 metres high tower block in district XI, other high-rise buildings can be established throughout Budapest, reports magyaridok.hu. A 16-storey tower is built as the first stage of the Agora Budapest development in district XIII, but some buildings higher than that can be finished until 2023 with a maximum height of 90 metres.

According to HB Reavis, the Agora Tower built in the first stage of Agora Budapest will be a 16-storey building and around 65 metres high. The company developing in district XIII, at the place of the former bus station and furniture shop near the metro station Árpád híd, added: the buildings of the second stage of Agora Budapest are still in a planning stage. Several professional forums, national and international architects, urban designers and the authorities support it.

The company mentioned that the current regulation determines the maximum height of the high-rise buildings in 90 metres. The building called Agora hub to be built first as part of the city-development will offer the largest uninterrupted office space in Budapest with its 4500 square metres storeys. Agora hub got the building permit in March, while the permits of the other buildings are still in progress. HB Reavis informed the public that the construction of the first buildings started in the first quarter of 2017 and will probably be finished at the end of 2018, while the opening of the last building is planned to be in 2023.
