MICRO LOCATION

Valby is located about three kilometres west of the Copenhagen city centre. To the east, the area borders on the vibrant district of Vesterbro and to the north on the affluent district of Frederiksberg. Grønttorvet is one of the largest urban development areas of Copenhagen, expected to be fully developed by 2021. The Danish name of “Grønttorvet” refers to the vegetable market on the site that has been the centre of trade with vegetables and fruits for the last decades. The old vegetable market has moved to an out-of-town location at Høje- Taastrup, paving the way for redevelopment of the site with 234,000 sqm of primarily residential space, which translates into some 2,000 dwellings.

together all residents of the area. Various historical elements of the area will be preserved as some of the existing building stock originally forming the old market hall will be recycled as part of the new park. The area of Grønttorvet is located next to Gammel Køge Landevej, a central arterial road into Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. Ring Road 02 and Holbæk Motorway are located 200 metres and 1.7 kilometres from the property, respectively, linking to the E20 and E47. Access by public transport is fairly good with Ny Ellebjerg and Vigerslev Allé stations within walking distance, giving access to the entire S-train grid, and with busses stopping at Gammel Køge Landevej. As part of the ongoing Metro expansion scheme, a new Metro station is scheduled to open at Ny Ellebjerg in 2023, greatly enhancing connectivity vis-à-vis the rest of Copenhagen.

As a tribute to its green history, the new city district will feature a central green hotspot ‘Grønttorvsparken’, a 23,000 sqm park intended to bring
