CE LAND's first group of companies was founded in 2004 -- the same year that Hungary joined the European Union, and opened its first office in 2011 in Budapest. The principals and managing directors started their commercial real estate careers in the 1990s. NAI CE LAND has seven senior team members with expertise in their respective fields of practice.

"We are proud to announce that NAI Global has a new member in Hungary. The addition of NAI CE LAND provides the NAI brand with an experienced, full-service local partner with an ownership approach in the Hungarian real estate market. This strategic alliance is an exciting challenge for both parties, and we believe it creates a great business opportunity for all of us," says Jay Olshonsky, NAI Global President & CEO.
