We love to build
Now for 30 years

Thirty years ago, Market Építő Zrt. was founded with a clear professional ambition: to create buildings underpinned by predictable operations, a highly skilled team and responsible decision-making. Since then, nearly 900 projects have been completed with our involvement, and Market has become a key player in Hungarian building construction. This journey has been shaped by consistent work, continuous learning and a constant drive for improvement.

This page captures the imprint of thirty years. It offers a retrospective of the milestones that have shaped Market, insight into our approach to building a business, and an overall picture of the performance we now look back on with calm pride. Behind the results stand people, decisions and shared responsibility – the very foundations on which the coming decades will be built.
