Copenhagen Harbour Districts The Copenhagen Harbour Districts are characterised by prestigious buildings, offering large-scale and up-to-date office facilities. In the past, the Harbour Districts were coveted by large-scale office users, including financial institutions, but this is expected to be changing.

Christianshavn Christianshavn, located on the Amager side of the harbour, is a popular mixed-use residential and office area with a special ambience due to scenic canals and the old fortifica tion line. Redeveloped old warehouses and modern office buildings blend together. Major occupiers include ministries, banks and other financial institutions as well as creative businesses, including architects and advertising agencies. Islands Brygge Similarly located on Amager, opposite Kalvebod Brygge and Havneholmen, this former industrial area has over the past 20 years been redeveloped into an attractive city district with housing and offices. The area benefits from easy access to both the city centre, the motorway grid and Copenhagen Airport. The office stock is characterised by repurposed for mer industrial buildings. Nordhavn Still under development, the vibrant and prestigious new city district of Nordhavn houses several financial businesses and law firms, valuing the up-to-date, space-efficient and flexible office premises in the area and its ample parking facilities. With its proximity to the city centre and attractive water front location, Nordhavn has evolved into an extension of the existing Copenhagen CBD in competition with Kalvebod Brygge and Tuborg Nord further north. The district benefits from proximity to Nordhavn S-train station, and with two metro stations opening, access to the entire Greater Copen- hagen area has improved considerably. In addition, the new Nordhavnsvej has improved access to the northern part of the motorway grid. Nordhavn is home to spectacular office buildings such as the highly sought-after Portland Towers and Svanemølle- holm.

Whereas the southern districts enjoy easy access to both the motorway grid and Copenhagen Airport, the northern districts are less fortunate, although motorway access has improved. However, all districts benefit from relatively cen tral locations with fairly good public transport links, includ ing metro, S-train and bus services. The building stock of these districts is of a more recent date compared to other CBD locations, typically offering also on- or underground parking facilities. Kalvebod Brygge/Havneholmen This location is one of the most attractive waterfront loca- tions, today commanding the highest rent levels in the Harbour Districts. The district enjoys easy access to the motorway grid, Copenhagen Airport and the Copenhagen city centre. Swedish investor Genesta has redeveloped the former DSB freight terminal at Kalvebod Brygge 32 into more than 30,000 sq m office space. Anchor tenant is law firm Poul Schmith/Kammeradvokaten (the Legal Advisor to the Danish Government) relocating its various branch offices to this new central head office. Havneholmen, developed mainly by Skanska, has in recent years been successful in attracting several corporates such as MSD, Pandora and Aller Media, making it a popular mixed-use office and residential district. At Havneholmen, development includes the 16,500 sq m Cph Highline mul ti-user office building, acquired by UK pension fund Aviva in 2021. At the time of the acquisition, more than 93% of floor- space in the building was let to SAS Institute and Global- Gonnect, among others.
