Nordhavn is the city’s new quarter with beautiful transformations of silos, sustainable solutions, harbor bath and metro to the door. A brand new urban district is taking shape. Come out with us and follow the development.

Just 15 years ago, the Århusgade neighborhood in Nordhavn was surrounded by fences and checkpoints as it was a part of Copenhagen’s free port. Today, the neighborhood is the city’s foremost example of a modern transformation of a harbor area.

And we have taken the district to our hearts.

Art studios are moving to Nordhavn, different housing types mix with each other, the location by the water is attractive, and the traces of the old industrial harbor fascinate us.

The area has been developed on the basis of a comprehensive plan dating back to 2008, when thinking about social, economic and environmental sustainability was a completely new approach. Today we are starting to see the results.

Good infrastructure, dense city, mixed functions, new meeting places, classic and recycled materials and preservation of existing buildings, supplemented by new ones.

Come and let yourself be carried away by silo, sunshine and Sundkaj.
