Residential development areas

Aarhus has the following four main residential development areas:

Aarhus Ø Located in the previous industrial harbour, Aarhus Ø is expected to have 12,000 resi- dents and 10,000 workplaces when fully developed. The area has a number of prom- inent residential buildings, including stages one and two of Lighthouse, The Iceberg, Havneholmen and Havnehusene. Located with a waterfront location, residential rents and prices in Aarhus Ø are above average. However, in order to secure varied urban development, the City of Aarhus has specified that a quarter of the residential construction must consist of rent-regulated social housing. Lisbjerg Located approx six kilometres north of Aarhus and connected with light-rail, Lisbjerg is the largest urban development area in Aarhus. The area is expected to have 25,000 inhabitants when fully developed. The first units around the old village have already been constructed, and there are plans for much more than just housing: In order to ensure sustainable development, a town centre with shops, cafés and restaurants is planned.
