This construction project is one of the most significant urban revitalisations in the Hungarian capital. On an area of around ten hectares, the outdated industrial site was completely redesigned. The result is an ultra-modern sports and event complex featuring a multifunctional arena with 4,900 seats, a training hall and several outdoor courts for sports such as basketball, handball, volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics, fencing and football. Planning began in November 2021, and the grand opening took place in May 2025. The client was the long-established Hungarian sports club MTK, construction was carried out by Bayer Construct Zrt., and architectural design was entrusted to the firm Sagra Építész Kft.

Design and technical challenges

Transforming the former factory site presented the planning team with a number of demanding tasks. In addition to the required subfloor remediation and surface unsealing, the goal was to develop a floor concept for the multifunctional arena that would be both permanently resilient and visually high-quality. Special attention was given to the large visitor zones: in the entrance area and foyers, a 1,000-m² terrazzo floor was created using MC’s premium flooring systems. Cast on-site in three colours, the application demanded a high degree of precision, craftsmanship and material expertise. The striking triangular design is inspired by MTK’s logo and shapes the building’s modern character. In addition, around 8,000 m² of stairways, walkways and circulation areas had to be equipped with long-lasting, slip-resistant and easy-to-clean floor coatings.
