Budapest is currently the scene of several grandiose projects and not only at industrial but also at retail level.

One of the capital's residential real estate projects was also inspired by the environmental conditions, in the course of which according to the designs of Vadász Architect Studio and Óbuda Architect Studio Danube Terrace Grande was born in 2023. The project has arrived at an exceptional milestone, since on 24 September 2021 the traditional topping up ceremony was held at the site.

In the course of the project sustainability, energy-awareness and smart solutions are highly important. These factors are important for KÉSZ Group because it started a long-term sustainability program and reviews its own operation taking account of green aspects. The company will reduce its carbon emission and ecological footprint by 34 per cent by 2030 compared to the 2019 figures. Furthermore, its objective is to do for a greener future not only at industry but also at retail level, so - together with Bence Máté, the world famous nature photographer - it organized an interactive, open-air exhibition at the site of the Danube Terrace Grande titled “NATURBAN 2021 - or nature moved to the town” in this summer.
