Copenhagen Property Market Report 2018

The most recent newcomer to the regional shopping centre scene in Copenhagen is BIG Shopping in Herlev, offering a fresh mix of typical big box retailers and traditional shopping centre retailers, strong grocery anchors, several eateries, a cinema, a fitness centre and indoor playground. BIG has 1,150 parking spaces operated by OnePark, with two hours’ free parking (four hours if parking on the roof). Local shopping centres The Greater Copenhagen market for local shopping centres is slightly more fragmented in the sense that there is a considerable difference in quality between prime and secondary facilities. Local shopping centres are typically anchored by one or more supermarket tenants. In addition, they often feature a varying range of specialty shops, including pharmacies, hairdressers, etc., catering to the needs of the local catchment area. In Greater Copenhagen alone, there are about 35 local shopping centres with an area of 5,000+ sqm and 35 units on average. Local shopping centres are mostly found near local traffic hubs such as Metro or S-train stations. Big box segment In Greater Copenhagen, big box clusters are located mainly at Lyngby/ Gentofte, Høje-Taastrup and Ishøj, all anchored by IKEA or Ilva. Secondary locations are found at Gladsaxe, Rødovre, Glostrup, Albertslund, Valby and at Kirstinehøj on the island of Amager.
