As specialists in the Hungarian commercial real estate market, REM Group has been providing integrated property services for three decades.
REM Group’s roots are in property development and investment starting in 1994 within the Raiffeisen Banking Group.
Early on we focused on build to suit development for clients such as SPAR, Tesco, Honda, British American Tobacco and Nissan. We then pivoted towards pure play development proudly pioneering the first fashion retail outlet center in Hungary called Premier Outlet, delivered turnkey the British International School of Budapest (BISB), and constructed and leased the Arena Corner Office building. More recently we have focused on asset management and development management and investment advisory. For example, creating a world class Cultural Center for the Republic of Korea and originating one of the largest office investment transactions in Bucharest, Central and Eastern Europe.
Over the years we have constructed, asset managed and owned over 35 office, retail, residential and warehouse/logistics projects. This A-Z experience gives us essential best-practice knowledge along with an exceptional network of business contacts. Today, we offer our intellectual knowledge to provide exclusive, bespoke value add services to our clients in three primary areas:
- Asset Management
- Development Management
- Investment & Transaction Advisory
We’re proud of our track record and our ability to perform for a discerning clientele. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we bring an owner’s mindset to the table balanced with risk awareness – we invested our own capital and understand the consequences of the downside. We have also had many years of corporate level experience fused with a very strong technical background. We think like you and have the resources to act for you.
