Location descriptions | Retail – Market Report 2019

the farthest from the Copenhagen city centre, account for the majority of retail vacancies in the districts. Frederiksberg Among the central city districts outside the high-street market, Frederiksberg stands out as a shopping destination, ahead of the thriving shopping streets of Gammel Kongevej and Falkoner Allé. In addition, the upscale avenue of Frederiksberg Allé, currently considered a slightly more secondary location compared to the above-mentioned streets, is expected to see increased footfall once a Metro station opens here in 2019. The district also features a high-performance shopping centre, Frederiksberg Centret, named the ‘Best Nordic Shopping Centre’ in 2016 by the Nordic Council of Shopping Centres. Benefitting from a large and financially strong catchment area, Frederiksberg Centret, also marketed as FRB.C Shopping, ranks as a top-performing local shopping centre in Denmark. Following extensive expansion schemes in recent years, the shopping centre features 90 quality units arranged over three floors. It is situated right next to a Metro station and offers one hour’s free parking in parking garage. Østerbro Østerbro also ranks as an important non-CBD retail location, fronted by the traditional shopping streets of Østerbrogade and Nordre Frihavnsgade, both providing a varied and high-quality offering of shops run by mainly local retailers and domestic brands. Furthermore, the district features a bustling restaurant and café environment. But unlike Frederiksberg, the district does not boast a centrally located shopping centre. Vesterbro In the district of Vesterbro, Vesterbrogade and to some extent also Istedgade are the main shopping streets. Over the past few years, Vesterbrogade has transformed from a traditional shopping street, and today it contains a large cluster of cafés and restaurants, especially on the stretch closest to the Copenhagen city centre. With the district counting numerous hotels near Copenhagen Central Station, the great many tourists in the area add to a solid customer base. In recent years, Kødbyen (the meatpacking district) and the new Tivoli Food Hall have served to make the location more vibrant and attractive. In addition, the future Metro station at Enghave Plads is expected to boost accessibility as well as the retail and leisure environment. Nørrebro and Amagerbro The districts of Nørrebro and Amagerbro feature more fragmented shopping streets, including both attractive shop clusters and less prominent locations. Covering a substan- tially longer stretch than their Østerbro and Vesterbro counterparts, the shopping streets of Nørrebrogade and Amagerbrogade offer a vast number of retail shops.
