1.2 Project Overview
1.2.1 Overview of the wider neighborhood
The district XIV where the project is located is a large and mixed neighbourhood, both with densely built communist era style high-rise apartments and decently kept suburban style detached homes. It is also one of the greenest districts of Budapest, with Városliget, the City Park that is located at the western part of the district. The district has an average population size in relation to other districts with cca. 125,000 inhabitants. The purchasing power of the district has improved in recent years; as many high-grade residential developments have taken place and the district has become a favoured residential location. With the exception of the Örs Vezér tér that is the main a public transportation junction point, the district does not have a commercial center, larger office buildings and commercial properties are located sparsely along the Hungária / Róbert Károly Körút and Üllői út.
1.2.2 Overview of the micro location
The subject property is located along the Csömöri út, approximately 150 m northeast of the Nagy Lajos Király útja. It is bordered by the Csömöri út from the west, Mosztár utca from the south, Bosnyák utca from the east and the Rákospatak utca from the north. The property has good visibility as it has a long border facing towards a busy main road passing through the district.
The proximity of the Bosnyák tér market hall generates footfall in the surrounding area, and it can be considered as a hub/center for the Zugló area. The overall environment of the property is mixed, ranging from commercial properties/average to low grade residential properties. North east of the property, there is a sports field and the Paskál Park and Cordia Thermal Zugló residential development projects. The location lacks modern commercial properties, such as office buildings and retail units.
1.2.3 Concept
The Zugló Városközpont (ZVK) will be a mixed-use project that will incorporate offices, health institution, shopping center, market hall and residential components. The development will be realized on an 8,7-hectare site with a total gross floor area of 251,000 sqm.
Main figures:
Total plot area: 87 000 m2
Total planned built area above ground 251 000m2
Total planned built area below ground: 163 000 m2
The complex expects to include to the area some 15,000 people, living and working by the end of the construction, in 2028. The project aims at becoming the new heart of Zugló, and to serve as the hub of this neighbourhood.
The XIV. district Municipality is planning to relocate to the planned Market Hall building, together with the district medical centre.
During the master planning high emphasis should be given to the public urban spaces, where the citizens can meet, interact, relax.
The shopping center should be a smaller, specialized service center – assuming a well-balanced mix of services and basic retail profiles.
1.2.4 Planned phasing of the Project
The project will be realised in 3 phases:
Phase 1- Shopping Center & office building, residential building, New market hall & municipality building
Phase 2 - Office building, residential building
Phase 3- Office building
Office buildings are planned with an average of 35 000 sqm GLA. Residential buildings between 18-25.000 sqm saleable area. The shopping center should have cca 18.000 sqm GLA.
Market Hall – The existing market building is to be demolished. The continuous operation of the market must be ensured during the project, so a temporary market is to be built by the Investor. Simultaneously, the new market hall will be built that is expected to have a footprint of 7,000 sqm. The designer of the new market will be awarded through a public tender issued by the municipality that is not the subject of this Competition but shall be considered.
Parking under the office and shopping centers will be minimum 2 levels to provide enough parking for the project. Residential building: max. one underground parking levels.
400-seat P + R car parking capacity should be built above the minimum required parking spaces on area that must be situated under Urban Place on one level while rest quantity will be put under the Market Hall.
The development is planned in phases over 8 years, starting construction in Q2/2021.
