Short history
Today's Király Street used to be the main thoroughfare of Terézváros in the 1800ies. The street received its name - which it preserves till today - from the inn which once stood at the corner of Deák Ferenc Square and was addressed to "The King of Britain". This area, where the city center taking shape was still surrounded by small gardens and vineyards, got its name from the empress of the Austrian - Hungarian Monarchy, Maria Theresa (Terézváros).
A great part of the traffic coming to the city passed through this long and narrow street. Due to the commercial character of the area it was densely populated by the late 1870ies and the people settling here were of diverse nationalities.
The building standing on the double site at the corner of Király Street and Károly Boulevard, owned by the Orczy Family gave home to the first independent synagogue of the Hungarian Jews.
It is not by chance that Király Street is one of the most beautiful areas within the renovated historical Jewish Quarter.
Blocks of flats and trade houses used to stand in the place of the present day Apartman Passage, the great part of these buildings were demolished during World War II.
One of the biggest Spanish real property investor groups, Fadesa Hungaria Rt. purchased the unbuilt sites in 2004.
The group actually purchased three sites which - when linked with each other - formed a passage connecting Király Street with Paulay Ede Street behind it and thus created a pleasant Mediterranean type building complex.
The building gives home to apartments, an event center, catering and entertainment outlets, shops and parking lots.
As a result of the project, Passage Apartman and Event Center is already open to guests and the downtown of Budapest became richer with a cultural and entertainment center offering high quality services.
