This result allowed the project to participate in the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2014 where, out of other well recognized international projects, Green House receivedthe World Gold Award.
The trophy was handed over to Zoltán Linczmayer, the managing director of Skanska Property Hungary. After receiving the award, he said: “We are very proud that Green House was selected as the World Gold Winner. This is proof that the Budapest office market offers such quality office projects which enable world class accommodation of its tenants’ requirements. After the success of Green House and the previous years’ operation, Skanska continues to develop in Budapest; the 26,200 sq m Nordic Light will offer the same proven quality and tenant-focused healthy work environment”.

Its well established international tenants are praising the project for the unique atmosphere, friendly working environment, beautiful garden, the quality of the in-house services and the proven cost efficient green operation.
