The south corridor The south corridor running between Køge and Høje Taastrup is considered a prime logistics location as it benefits from easy motorway access (the E20), linking to Copenhagen, all parts of Zealand as well as Jutland, Sweden and Germany. As the corridor is an important location for industrial and storage/logistics facilities, local planning provisions are up to date and in line with today’s requirements. This allows for the construction of efficient facilities standing up to 30 metres tall in selected commercial districts sized for heavy-goods vehicles. At Køge, Scandinavian Transport Center (STC), continues to attract financially strong tenants looking for logistics facilities. Tenants include PostNord, Lemvigh-Müller, Lidl, DKI Logistics and Netto. At STC, Logicenters, owned by Nrep, is currently developing a logistics centre, which is expected to include 68,000 sq m logistics facilities with a built-to-suit cross-dock terminal.

clothing and the like. Stark's new distribution centre is scheduled for completion in summer 2026. In addition, Coop Danmark already has a large-scale logistics facility at Brøndby, handling mainly fresh produce for last mile delivery. Similarly, delivering groceries purchased online, Nemlig.com has a large-scale logistics facility at Brøndby, enabling prompt deliveries to Copenhagen households. The increasing demand for last mile properties in the west corridor, coupled with limited supply, has driven up rent levels in the area in recent years. The portion of the building stock previously earmarked for industry has been shrinking as former industrial areas are being transformed into new residential neighbourhoods to accommodate Copenhagen’s growing population. In addition to the aforementioned projects, several industrial and logistics areas have been designated for residential use in either local or municipal plans.
