A new chapter
The doors are open to one of the most coveted locations in Copenhagen — perhaps even the country. Whether you’re looking for office space or retail, you’ll be surrounded by landmarks like Kongens Nytorv, Nyhavn, The Royal Theatre, Amalienborg and Christiansborg.
Sailors, vibrant nightlife, trading houses and financial institutions — the Laksegade Quarter has long been a stage for life, celebration, and major moments in both the city’s and the country’s history. Now, the transformation begins.
After nearly 150 years as home to Denmark’s major banks, Danske Bank — the last to remain — has moved out of its properties by Holmens Kanal. New owners have taken over: Thylander A/S, in partnership with real estate investor KanAm Grund Group and a German pension fund.
For decades, this area was reserved for bank employees and clients. But today, the doors are opening to everyone. In spring 2025, the transformation of the 16 buildings — comprising a total of 50,200 square metres — will begin, turning the area into a vibrant new neighbourhood with shops, restaurants, cafés, offices, a hotel and a public parking facility.
