🌟 Building Performance Together: A Significant Lease Renewal at Nordic Light Trio Through close collaboration and understanding of our tenant's long-term vision, we've achieved a great outcome at Nordic Light Trio, Budapest. Our partnership approach has resulted in a 13,300 sqm lease renewal with a leading multinational pharmaceutical organisation. This renewal exemplifies how we build success together. By tailoring our approach to meet specific requirements, we've created a bespoke solution that incorporates forward-thinking ESG principles through green clauses, supporting sustainable technology adoption whilst ensuring strong, stable income returns. This achievement reflects our smart and innovative way of working, combining real-time decision-making with bold ideas - particularly valuable in today's challenging market conditions. It demonstrates how our collaborative approach delivers exceptional results for all stakeholders. Our success was enabled through building together with our trusted partners at Eston, C&W property management, Facility Concepts, Hogan Lovells, whose expertise and dedication helped secure this significant outcome. #CommercialRealEstate #Sustainability #ESG #NetZero #RealEstate #Budapest #Partnership #Innovation By: David Johnson MRICS & Gus Halfyard
