A development that redefines the neighborhood – this is how Dürer Park reimagines its surroundings

Following the revitalization of City Park, it was almost a given that the area across from Ajtósi Dürer Street and the surrounding neighborhoods would also be given a fresh look. This part of the 14th District is a truly unique location, as it is centrally situated and connected to busy intersections, yet remains somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle.

Since the development of Dürer Park began on this 3.7-hectare site, previous projects in the area have also seen remarkable progress; as a result, together with City Park, the image of a well-planned, dynamically developing urban district is becoming increasingly clear.

Dürer Park will not only feature residential buildings, but will also become a mixed-use neighborhood that includes office buildings. The office buildings have already been completed, and construction of the residential buildings is in progress, with completion expected in the second quarter of 2027.

The three residential buildings will offer a total of 207 apartments, while the entire development, together with two office buildings and extensive green spaces, will form a cohesive whole.

The focus is not on quantity—this was a principle the Property Market development team kept in mind throughout the project. An international firm (Lissoni & Partners) was responsible for the concept, while KÖZTI and other well-known studios handled the local design, and the expert team at Market Építő Zrt. provided the foundation for construction. The goal of the project has always been to create not an isolated residential complex, but one that fits in with the character of Zugló’s villa district while also responding to modern urban needs.

The project’s surroundings are also undergoing a dramatic transformation: as part of the development, a section of Ajtósi Dürer Street has already been renovated, a pedestrian-friendly connection to City Park has been established, and a new community park has been created on the site of the previously neglected convent garden with its ancient trees. At this point, the project’s impact extends beyond the property line, as it enriches the overall landscape with additional community spaces embedded within the urban fabric. A home, therefore, does not begin at the front door—Dürer Park is being developed in this spirit, where the concept of “home” is created in conjunction with the street, the promenade, the inner park, and the office.

Residential complexes that are well-suited to today’s needs in Budapest are increasingly in demand, which is why complex and multifaceted developments in the city’s busiest areas are so important. Dürer Park has already made significant progress beyond the planning phase, and construction and sales are proceeding at a lively pace. Current buyers who purchase a parking space and storage unit along with their apartment receive a discount of 9 million forints.

At this stage of the Dürer Park development, it is becoming clear how the project will evolve into a vibrant, livable urban space that creates not only buildings but also new connections and a new quality within the urban landscape.
