Frederiks Plads Rosenborg District Surrounding Rosenborg Castle and the King’s Garden, the Rosenborg District offers both large-scale office premises and smaller leases in older town houses with a relatively space-efficient layout and modern exterior. Both Nørreport station and the Kongens Nytorv metro station are in the Aarhus Ø The district is predicted to transform in the coming years as it is becoming an increasingly popular location for serviced offices, restaurants and shops. For instance, there are plans to convert the Danske Bank head-office buildings into a new mixed-use building complex, including a hotel, offices, shops and residential units, when Danske Bank relocates, presum ably in 2023. Frederiksstaden Centred around the Queen’s residence, Amalienborg Palace, Frederiksstaden is considered a prestigious CBD office loca tion with an imposing building stock consisting of mansion and palace-style buildings with a modernised layout. Both historically and today, the district is preferred by law firms, professional and business service consultancies, financial in stitutions and shipping companies, including the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group, which is headquartered in Frederiksstaden. In addition, the district attracts art dealers with the street of Bredgade housing quite a few galleries. In 2019, access by public transport improved greatly in the district with the opening of the Marble Church metro station. The availability of parking facilities is fairly good in the area considering its central location, not least thanks to new underground parking facilities in the district. The Banking District Located east of the Pedestrian District and just north of the Government District, the Banking District encompasses the areas surrounding Holmens Kanal and Kongens Nytorv. The district was traditionally among the preferred locations for banks and other financial institutions, including the Danish central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank. The district benefits from easy access to public transport at Kongens Nytorv offering multiple bus services and a metro station providing access to all metro lines. The area is hampered by scarce parking facilities, but the diversified building stock, easy access by public transport and diverse urban life give the district character, appealing to a wide range of busi nesses in pursuit of small and medium-sized office units.

immediate vicinity of the district, with Nørreport offering regional and S-train as well as metro and bus services. Park- ing is scarce at street level, but several underground park ing facilities are available. Traditionally, the district has been preferred by the media as well as government and quasi- government organisations, but the growing presence of shops and restaurants has had a positive effect on the dis trict’s overall appeal. The City Hall and Central Station District Situated near City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) and Copen- hagen Central Station, this district has transformed in recent years, spearheaded by the spectacular and brand-new Axel Towers office complex. Together with Industriens Hus on the corner of Vesterbrogade and H. C. Andersens Boulevard, Axel Towers has consolidated the district’s status as one of the most expensive office locations in Copenhagen. In 2021, the complex known as The Square, a Copenhagen landmark situated next to Copenhagen City Hall, at Rådhuspladsen 4, etc., was sold to German investor AM alpha. The property is currently undergoing comprehensive upgrade works. Today, the district offers a varied mix of relatively efficient large-scale office domiciles with underground parking facili ties and small to medium-sized offices in older multi-tenant buildings. The district benefits from excellent access by pub lic transport, with Copenhagen Central Station serving as an important hub. Opening in 2019, the City Hall Square metro station further improved connectivity. Considered a classic city-centre location, the district is home to major law firms, trade unions, industry associations and financial institutions. In addition, governmental and municipal agencies account for quite a large proportion of office users. One of the largest and most prominent construction schemes in the district is the Postbyen (“post city”) devel opment of some 238,500 sq m residential and commercial space by a joint venture of pension funds Danica and ATP on the former post office site at Bernstorffsgade. The first stage involves the new Danske Bank 73,000 sq m head of fice, scheduled for completion in 2023. Among other things, the second stage involves the addition of a 34,000 sqm office building,The Stamp, accommodating some 2,000 workplaces. When completed, presumably in 2027, the Postbyen devel opment is expected to expand the CBD as well as enhance the district’s position as a central Copenhagen office location.
