ABOUT COPENHAGEN

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is located on the island of Zealand in the very heart of the Øresund region, one of the most densely populated, affluent and dynamic regions in northern Europe. In addition to this, in 2016 Copenhagen was named the most liveable city in the world by magazines Metropolis and Wallpaper.

Population forecast for 2017-2045 (index 100 = 2017)

According to Statistics Denmark, Copenhagen will see continued population growth, accelerating to all of 25% in 2017 – 2045 and thus greatly outperforming the overall forecast for Denmark. A key driver of growth in the housing and labour markets, the population boom continues to exacerbate the current undersupply of residential units. Despite brisk construction activity in the development areas of Copenhagen, we expect residential demand to outstrip supply in both the short and the long term. The city benefits from excellent air- and seaports facilitating long-distance commutes. In addition, Copenhagen has an extensive rail and motorway network with the European motorway E20 ensuring swift transport to national and international destinations. Furthermore, Copenhagen benefits from its Metro line, adding even more stations in 2019 and 2023. Copenhagen is considered the main driver of Denmark’s economic growth. In fact, in terms of technological know-how, political stability, favourable business operating environments and a transparent and liquid property market, Copenhagen is among the European elite cities.
