Sustainability is one of today’s most significant economic and social challenges, increasingly defining successful long-term strategies in the investment sector. Environmentally conscious operations substantially contribute to long-term value creation and the realization of future-proof investments. For Gránit Asset Management, sustainability is far more than a trend or a fashionable buzzword: it is a deep-rooted strategy that permeates the entire investment policy. Greening the real estate portfolio is a key element of this strategy.
“Our investment strategy, built on ESG principles, gives a central role to real estate developments that deliver genuine, measurable results in energy efficiency, digitalization, and the reduction of environmental burden. It is no coincidence that 35 percent of the energy consumed by the properties we manage is already sourced from renewable resources in 2025 – this clearly demonstrates the practical realization of our green objectives. The domestic real estate portfolio belonging to Gránit Asset Management is managed by Grandum Property Management, and their green investments translate this very approach into practice, providing real answers to the challenges of the future,”
emphasized Álmos Mikesy, Chairman and CEO of Gránit Asset Management.
The greening of Grandum Property Management’s real estate portfolio is taking place on several levels, highlighting not only technical modernizations aimed at energy efficiency but also the prominence of digitalization and smart-device based operations. The PANDA energy management software, which tracks and optimizes energy consumption with real-time data, has been introduced across the office buildings, while the latest Building Management System (BMS) technologies also support operations.
Mechanical systems are being renewed almost everywhere. The conversion of lighting systems to LED technology has been completed in a significant portion of common areas, and several office buildings, such as the Green House and V17 office buildings, already feature solar panel systems. The Tabán, Infopark A, and E office buildings are undergoing complex mechanical modernizations, the introduction of smart building management systems, the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and the development of cycling infrastructure, resulting in significant energy and cost savings.
The developments are not limited to the office segment: in the logistics (South Pest Business Park, InNove Business Park) and retail properties (the nationwide Zone retail park network and the BREEAM Very Good certified Shopmark Shopping Center), mechanical modernizations are complemented by the installation of renewable energy sources, the renewal of green areas, and solutions supporting sustainable transportation – such as EV chargers and bicycle storage facilities.
“We are committed to implementing the latest, sustainable solutions in every property we manage. Energy efficiency, digital building management, and the introduction of innovative technologies not only protect the environment but also enhance the comfort and cost-effectiveness for our tenants,”
stated Kornélia Sára Lukács, Managing Director of Grandum Property Management.
Beyond energy efficiency, digital parking and charging management are also crucial aspects: in addition to the EV charging points established at the Green House, the Parkl smart mobility system has also been introduced at the Alkotás Point office building, also managed by Grandum.
“Our goal is that by optimizing parking space utilization and electric car charging, everyone wins: the city experiences less environmental burden, and companies receive more efficient and convenient services. This requires integrated, system-level solutions that are capable of evolving together to simplify the lives of building operators, employers, and end-user drivers alike,”
said Zsolt Somogyi, Founder and CEO of Parkl.
