The rental of almost 200 apartments in Carlsberg Byen begins

#Carlsberg Byen #Project #Rental apartments

The construction of the popular urban neighbourhood Carlsberg Byen is nearly finished, and the last apartments are taking shape. Until now, only owner-occupied apartments have been for sale, but the first major rental project is now emerging in the form of Vilhelms Hus and Beckmanns Tårn, which consists of 196 rental apartments. The project is designed by architect Dorte Mandrup and is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy 1 April 2025. The German property investment and development company Quantum purchased both properties last year and have chosen EDC Project Poul Erik Bech to handle the rental of the apartments.

Quantum is a market leader in property investment and development in Germany. Last year, they entered the Danish real estate market with the purchase of the block property Vilhelms Hus and Beckmanns Tårn, a real estate complex of more than 20,000 m² in Carlsberg Byen, consisting of 196 rental apartments.

EDC Project Poul Erik Bech has therefore, begun the preliminary work leading up to the start of the letting. Alexander Danielsen, Project Manager at EDC Project Poul Erik Bech, explains:

“Carlsberg Byen has so far only consisted of owner-occupied apartments, so this is a unique opportunity to rent a quality apartment with a high level of amenities in one of Copenhagen’s most popular neighbourhoods. Vilhelms Hus and Beckmanns Tårn mark a new era for Carlsberg Byen as the neighbourhood expands with rental apartments. The rental homes are 2 to 6-bedroom apartments with an average size of 103 m², and are therefore, aimed at a broad target group. We expect a lot of activity, and we are looking forward to welcoming applicants to visit the two trial apartments in Vilhelms Hus and Beckmanns Tårn of respectively 129 m² and 145 m². The first moves-ins will take place on 1 April 2025.”

The project was designed and built in collaboration with Arpe & Kjeldsholm, Kuben Management, Artelia, Sweco, OPLAND and architect Dorte Mandrup, who designed both properties. Thomas Høeg Mogensen, Customer and Relations-director at EDC Project Poul Erik Bech, says:

“Vilhelms Hus and Beckmanns Tårn are beautiful properties that combine modern design, sustainability and history with high-quality architecture and construction techniques. This is also reflected in the apartments, which fulfil all the requirements for a modern home while benefiting from the unique and historic location in the northern area of Carlsberg Byen, next to Ny Carlsberg Vej, which is currently being transformed into an avenue with beautiful Kaiser lime trees and the original cobblestones.”

“We are of course delighted that Quantum has entrusted us with the letting of their first properties in Denmark. We are looking forward to working with them and can´t wait to help property seekers find the right apartment in this unique and exciting rental project.”
