László Papp, the mayor of Debrecen, praised the city fathers in his greeting, who felt responsible for the preservation of the city’s wealth in the years following the regime change.
Community wealth is a measure of the state of the city. The city fathers also considered this to be extremely important, which is why the corporate form was born thirty years ago, which was able to preserve for posterity Debrecen’s most valuable properties, which are also crucial from the point of view of today’s operations.

He pointed out that, as a result, Cívisváros is one of the few big cities that has strategic real estate assets. – The city owns significant and architecturally significant buildings. On the one hand, this gives the Debrecen municipality room for maneuver, which will lead to serious developments in the coming years, and on the other hand, it gives us the opportunity to take an active role in the processes that define the image of Debrecen, he said. He emphasized that, in addition to the preservation of buildings, Cívis Ház Zrt. also places great emphasis on their expansion, and carries out exemplary value-saving activities with the city’s chief architect, the city administration and city protection organizations.
There is always reason to celebrate
– Success is not final, failure is not fatal. The only thing that matters is to have the courage to continue – this Churchill quote has been my motto since I’ve been running the company – Edit Erdei, the CEO of Cívis Ház Zrt., began her speech, who sees that there is always a reason to celebrate. – The results are relative, the goals are diverse. Sometimes we are at the top of the mountain, sometimes we are rising, sometimes we are building a castle, sometimes we are laying foundations, but every anniversary is worth summarizing – he expressed his opinion.

As he said, the last five years were about crisis management, profit generation, the creation of regulations and real estate developments. – During the pandemic, the sight of the completely empty Piac utca burned into me for life, that was the deepest point. We are proud that, despite all the difficulties, we have preserved the loyalty of the tenants, the stability of the company, the property entrusted to us and the trust of the owner. I would like to emphasize that we generated a dividend of 4.2 billion, which is one third of the dividends of the past thirty years. The operation of the company met all external challenges and internal expectations – Edit Erdei summarized.
Cívis Ház Zrt. celebrated with an award ceremony, the CEO presented recognition to the company’s biggest tenant of all time, OTP Bank Nyrt.
