Copenhagen non-CBD

Nørrebro Situated northwest of the CBD, Nørrebro is first and foremost a mixed-use residential and retail district rather than a characteristic office area as the office premises in the district are of diverse quality with no distinctive office clusters or centres. When it comes to parking, Nørrebro faces some of the same challenges as other Copenhagen city districts, with fairly scarce parking considering the building density of the area. In terms of public transport, accessibility is fair with multiple metro stops and Nørrebro S-train station. While office premises generally fail to meet today’s tenant requirements, Nørrebro appeals to many small and medi um-sized creative businesses, including office users in the media and music industries. Copenhagen Science City (CSC) is spearheading the development of a new science centre in the district with a focus on health and life sciences, cleantech as well as information and communication technologies (ICT). Anchored by the University of Copenhagen, the Metro politan University College and the Copenhagen University Hospital, CSC strives to create a strong knowledge and innovation community. In the more run-down parts of Nørrebro and the north western city district of Copenhagen NV, old indus trial buildings are on a large scale being converted for up-to-date office use, with the buildings typically retaining their original industrial-style exterior. This has given new life for instance to the Rentemestervej area of Copenhagen NV and Titangade/Sigurdsgade at Nørrebro. However, complete urban redevelopment will take time, and the process is projected to be ongoing for years to come. Frederiksberg Encircled by the City of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg consti tutes a municipality of its own and is predominantly a vibrant residential district. It enjoys a location close to the CBD and is well serviced by all metro lines. Frederiksberg contains several pockets of office premises, with the area

The following is a brief introduction to the office market outside the Copenhagen CBD, including the districts encircling the city centre, and Greater Copenhagen. Østerbro Located just west of Langelinie and north of the Copen hagen CBD, the district of Østerbro offers a wide variety of office premises. In this district, the prime office location stretches mainly along Dag Hammerskjölds Allé and Strandboulevarden, featuring several impressive mansion style buildings. The area is favoured by embassies and non-profit organ isations as it benefits from close proximity to the Copen hagen city centre. Containing several large-scale offices built in 1960–1980, the area around Lyngbyvej/Lersø Parkallé is generally considered a less prestigious office location. Office leases in the area often fail to meet today’s tenant requirements in terms of space efficiency and flex ibility.
