Copenhagen Property Market Report 2018

(4) The south corridor The south corridor running between Køge and Høje-Taastrup benefits from such 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 plan 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 Pareto Securities, PostNord, Lemvigh-Müller, Lidl, DKI Logistics, Netto and pharmaceutical company Nomeco, the latter with a new state-of-the-art facility to handle distribution to the domestic and Nordic markets. At Høje-Taastrup, Copenhagen Markets (Grønttorvet) comprises three large- scale warehouses with a total roofed-up area of 67,000 sqm on a 220,000 sqm site. It is the largest wholesale marketplace for fruit and vegetables in Scandinavia. (5) Avedøre The industrial district of Avedøre Holme south of Copenhagen is marked by a substantial proportion of outdated facilities. Nevertheless, Avedøre Holme benefits from an outstanding location right next to the E20 motorway, effectively cutting transport times to Copenhagen. As the district is somewhat isolated from the surrounding residential areas, environmental concerns are slightly less of an issue. Given its strong logistics location, Avedøre Holme could become a popular district if newbuilding opportunities arise in the future. It is currently being discussed whether to expand Avedøre Holme. Such an expansion could boost the area. (6) Amager/Kastrup In the Copenhagen area, Copenhagen Airport offers airside lease opportunities for airport-related businesses, a fairly slim market segment, however in strong demand because of increasing air cargo volumes.
