INTRODUCTION

Colliers International Danmark A/S (Colliers) has been assigned with the sale of Halmtorvet 20-22, DK-1700 Copenhagen V (the Property). Comprising 7,500 sq m in total, including 1,270 sq m parking basement, the Property has over the past 30 years or so served as police station, featuring mainly office space on upper floors. Today, however, the Property is vacant and ready for redevelopment.

Colliers has been retained as sell-side advisor by Commercial Real Estate Denmark P/S (the Seller) on the proposed structured sale of the Property (the Transaction).
Co-owned by domestic funds TDC Pensionskasse (TDC Pension Fund), P+, Pensionskassen for Akademikere (P+, Pension fund for academics), LPK, Lægernes Pension (Danish medical doctors' pension fund), PBU, Pædagogernes Pension (Pension fund for early childhood and youth educators), Aage V.

Please note that the deadline for indicative offers is 3 December 2024 ,12.00 hrs (CET). The purpose of the Investment Memorandum is to set out the details of the Property, assisting interested parties in making their own assessment of the Transaction and the redevelopment opportunity. Interested parties will be offered the opportunity to conduct viewings of the Property with a Colliers representative by prior appointment.

Prospects of high occupancy and rooms rates in the years ahead
• The pipeline of new Copenhagen hotel rooms scheduled for completion over the next four years represents more than a 50% drop in new additions relative to the completions recorded in the city between July 2020 and July 2024.
• Moreover, most of the development projects in the pipeline are still in the planning phase.
• Against the backdrop of record-high overnight stays three years in a row and a weak pipeline, we believe that Copenhagen occupancy rates and room rates will increase in the coming years.

Bright outlook for Copenhagen hotel demand
A member survey by the Danish hospitality industry’s association HORESTA in October 2023 showed that most hotels predict solid operating performance in 2024 with revenue growth and improved bottom lines relative to 2023.
A survey by DI Tourism, Culture & Experiences (under the auspices of Danish Industry) projects average annual growth of 1.6% in domestic overnight stays and 3.0% in foreign overnight stays by 2030 across Denmark. Sweden has historically accounted for the third most overnight stays in Copenhagen, but the number of Swedish guests has been declining. VisitDanmark has launched a new marketing campaign with the purpose of luring back the Swedish guests within the next 3 years. The global desire to travel has been restored, with US tourists still heading the field in terms of overnight stays in Copenhagen. Chinese, Japanese and Indian tourists are finally returning to the city. Favourable prospects of renewed growth in Danish consumer spending, including households’ travel budgets, as consumer confidence is rebounding.

The Property
Landmark CBD property with basement parking
THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED in 1961 according to a design by architect Frederik Bojesen to serve as head office of property company Borgenhus. Accordingly, the Property was named Borgenhus. The Property is a prominent three-winged building complex facing the square of Halmtorvet and the streets of Viktoriagade and Lille Istedgade. Towards Halmtorvet, the front building of the Property comprises nine floors above ground, towards Viktoriagade/Lille Istedgade the Property has four or five floors above ground. Due mainly to its architectural merit and original features, including the façade’s ribbon windows and grey marble/turquoise serpentine cladding, the front building of the Property has been labelled moderately preservation-worthy (overall rating of five).
The Property is a column and beam construction with outer walls of concrete and felted roofing. The Property was comprehensively reconstructed in 1967, and in 2013/2014, the glass in every window was replaced on all floors. The Property is serviced by three passenger lifts and two goods lifts. For almost thirty years and up until 1 April this year, the Property served as Copenhagen’s central police station, “Station City”, accommodating some 500 police staff. The police are relocating to an existing larger facility at Toftegårds Plads. Internally, the Property features fine design and material specifications, with the reception area’s marble flooring echoing the building’s exterior and the extensive use of wood, including wooden wall panels, creating a warm ambience. The Property benefits from
ample daylight inflow due to its ribbon windows, with round skylights accentuating the Property’s grand staircase. On the ground floor, holding cells, etc. bear witness to the Property’s long history as a police station. Most upper floors are laid out for mainly office use featuring a mix of open-plan and cell offices. On the top floor, the Property is laid out with a staff dining room and meeting rooms. The dining room opens onto one of multiple rooftop terraces, commanding spectacular views of the Copenhagen cityscape. Below the Property, there is a parking garage. Access to the parking garage is via Lille Istedgade. Basement areas have a fully automated sprinkler system.

Technical and environmental details
Environmental considerations On 8 October 2024, Rambøll carried out an environmental screening of the Property to assess whether plans to redevelop the Property would be required to factor in any environmental considerations.
The resulting Rambøll screening report identifies findings of two hazardous materials in the construction:
1. Asbestos was detected in the windbreaker panel behind the font building’s turquoise facade panels. As the facade was mounted via the windbreaker panel, special precautions are believed to be called for if and when removing facade panels. 2. PCB was detected in the wall paint in multiple stairwells as well as on the building front facing the inner courtyard. Special precautions are called for if and when removing the paint. State of technical installations Rambøll has carried out a high-level assessment of the Property’s technical installations. The report concludes that a full replacement is to take place of all piping (both drinking water and heating), ventilation and cooling (both plant and ducts), CTS and ABA.
The heating plant itself is district heating and does not require replacement. There is also an option to connect the Property to district cooling.
