Continued from All new Danish highrises (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=137340)

Here's an update on all new Danish highrise projects. Compared to just a few years ago, we have quite a boom right now, by Danish standards atleast, and there are proposals in a lot of different cities.

When is a building a high-rise? In this thread I use the Emporis Standards (http://standards.emporis.com/?nav=realestate&lng=3&esn=18727) for high-rises. As a general rule, the buildings needs to be atleast 35 meters, and if no height is available atleast 12 floors.

Floors: 20
Usage: Residential, Office
Status: Cancelled
Architect: Arkitektfirmaet C.F. Møller (http://www.cfmoller.com)
Developer: Nordicom (http://www.nordicom.dk/)

Description: The idea of a 70 meter tall high-rise building in central Holstebro first appeared in Dagbladet Holstebro-Struer in April 2007. Quickly there were protests from a small chuch close to the site where the tower was supposed to be built, and Viborg Stift even vetoed the project, but the planning progressed. An architectural competetion was held and the winning proposal from C.F. Møller was chosen and presented to the public on October 25, 2007. A localplan for the high-rise site was made and after negotiations with the municipality Viborg Stift dropped their Veto against the project. Holstebro City Council approved the localplan on February 19, 2008. However, due to the downturn in the real estate market, the develper Nordicom got cold feet, and on May 1, 2008, they announced that they had dropped the project in fear of too many empty apartments.

I think it's a quite nice building. :)

New building added (Thanx to EDK_DK :) ). I know they write 12 floors on the website, but I only count 11 on the renderings. I guess they count the technical floor on top as a floor, but I don't. It is 35+ meters though, so it makes the list. Didn't think it was UC already. :)

Thanks mlm - Great thread...

I still count 12 floors - perhaps it's some kind of penthouse at the top. Take a look at this picture:

Anyway it's above 35 m and Aarhus is very bad represented in your thread..:)

Anyway it's above 35 m and Aarhus is very bad represented in your thread..:)Well that is an old rendering. ;) If you take a look at this page (http://www.siloetten.dk/boligerne-oversigt.html#), it's quite clear that there are only 11 residential floors. There could be a balcony or something at the top, but I still don't consider that a floor.

What about the Bispebjerg Bakke buildings? I think they are pretty cool - but not sure if they are high enough for this thread:
http://www.bispebjergbakke.dk/

/\ They/it are pretty special, but I count only 8 floors at the highest point, which wont do it. To make the list they need 12 floors, or 35 meters (standards like Emporis uses).

Fantastic compilation!

I enjoyed the tour!

Those are some awesome looking buildings.Go Denmark!

What about BIG's bjerget? Not tall enough?

/\ :lol:

Thanks a lot for post #1 mlm :) It makes it A LOT easier to follow along with what's going on, construction-wise, in DK :)

cheers! :cheers2:

What about BIG's bjerget? Not tall enough?I forgot about that one, could be tall enough yes. I'm going to Austria tonight, but will be back home friday evening. Will take a closer look at it saturday.

I forgot about that one, could be tall enough yes. I'm going to Austria tonight, but will be back home friday evening. Will take a closer look at it saturday.

Actually I just found it on big's site and I think it is only 32 meters at the tallest spot, so I guess it is a no go...It just looks taller with the location right next to the metro....

Now Københavns Kommune have finally approved the localplan for Islands Brygge Syd: http://www.planogarkitektur.kk.dk/upload/pdf-lokalplaner/410.pdf

Of all the ones you mention, I can really only find one ready with real renderings (and not just some models like in the "localplan"). I haven't looked that much yet though, so more can probably be found. That one is:

Architect: Kobra Arkitekter A/S (http://www.kobra-arkitekter.dk/)
Will it be build? - My guess: 75 % chance
Latest rendering (with 27 floors though, later reduced a bit), the design is not final, the city council damands something better:

http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/skyscrapercity/herningprojects/dgi.jpg
---------------

The city council approved the plans last night, the highrise can be 70 meters (which probably will reduce the floors from 23-24 to 21-22). They decided that the currect design of the highrise wasn't good enough, they want something of higher quality, and now the cityplan department has to approve a new design before it can go up. Can't say I'm sorry about that, since the latest design really isn't that nice IMO. Anyway, good news. :)

Not the nicest high-rise as it is now, hopefully the new deisgn will have a "higher quality", so its good news! :yes:

Nice!^^ Danish architecture:applause:

http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/skyscrapercity/herningprojects/dgi.jpg


Not that nice, but I'm sure the final design is going to be great with that city council you obviously have in Herning! The high-rise seems a bit large for a city at Hernings size, though...

/\ Reminds a bit of the Cirrus tower in Helsinki somehow.

Proposed in Århus :eek2:

^Yes, I just found this article. 25 floors (height in m unknown) at the university. Looks like a sculpture or something from a science fiction movie.

According to the article, it will be Denmark's tallest building if built!

^^

Yes just read it too...looks kind of funky i think!:)

hehe okay...it's fucking funky! - better?:lol:

I had to check if it was April 1st when I saw it this morning.

After reading a bit more about it on the Schmidt Hammer Lassen (http://www.shl.dk/) website, it seems that it is not much more than a vision.

If a highrise with a real design really is proposed on this location, it will most likely NOT have this design.

A small sidenote: In the late 80s and early 90s the same site was very close on getting a 150 meter tall building, the so called "Stjernecentret" designed by Utzon. A bit more about that one on Emporis (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=stjernecentret-arhus-denmark). I even think Schmidt Hammer Lassen somehow was involved in that building too...

Well....since everyone seams to love it, I am almost afraid to be in the minority. But, I have to stay true to myself...And I think that this is the ugliest thing I have sen all year, and I hope it never gets build...There. I said it... Let the lynching begin

I´m not crazy bout it either, so you are not the only one cphdude..

By the way, has anybody heard about this?
Somewhere near Århus, but maybe its just a vision too...
Looks cool, and the towers seems to be around 20-30 floors!

Let the lynching beginMaybe I didn't make myself clear in the post above, but I surely don't like that "thing" either. The "design" on the rendering is however nothing more than a vision, thank good.

hehe okay...it's fucking funky! - better?:lol:
Much better!! :dance:

Okay, I wouldn't want this building to be built in any old location. But this is a great place for a crazy building like this. Lots of boxy buildings around and the special architecture in the university park including the eery and fascinating 'book tower'. I think this vision would complement the libarary tower in a great way.

http://www.aod.aau.dk/uddannelse/galleri/default.asp?projektID=545 Quite interesting yes! I've heard about some plans for highrises in Lisbjerg before, but not seen any renderings. Not sure if these are real proposals or some visions either though. Btw, I count 37 floors!!!

There is maybe gonna be a tall skyscraper on 120 on krøyers plads. But i dont think the chances are very good. More on this web. http://www.kbhmagasin.dk/pics/KBH%2003%20internet.pdf

This article is from september 2005...:nuts:

Yep that was nothing more than a vision, and as far as I know it has never been anywhere near on being a real proposal.

How can t be that i didnt even see that. Do´h.

/\ That is really old;) There has been talk about this one for a loooong time, and among others Brøndby IF has been mentioned as an operator. The company behind the project went bankrupt of something, and now I strongly doubt it will ever be build. Oh and finally, it's not really a highrise, so "news" like this probably fit better in other threads. :)

Yeah, this one has been dead for a wile now...You really have to stop reading old news...

I doubt we will get an arena though. They are talking about one at bella center, but now that malmø is starting building one, it may not happen...

But as mlm says, this is not really the correct thread.... :)

Perhaps not a highrise, but this is certainly interesting. Olafur Eliason is going to decorate the top of Aros Art Museum in Århus. Looks nice :) According to the plan, you can walk around in that rainbow circle.

Damn we should have that on top of a high rise in downtown Copenhagen like the Tivoli one.

New project, and a pretty damn nice one if you ask me!

We're looking at a 24 floors/85 meter office building, and it will be located in....who knows. It's found on the architects website, and it sais it's under planning in a "larger town/city in eastern Jutland". So, the possible places must be Randers, Århus, Horsens, Vejle, Fredericia or Kolding (Silkeborg?). Can't imagine it being anywhere else. The project is 13.400 m2 and the year is 2008 (whatever that means). The renders:

(All from Arkitekthuset A/S)

Looking at the url of the renderings on the architects website, it includes the name "Ketnerhus", though I have no idea what that refers to.

^^ Very nice. Hope it gets built!

^^
^^
Not bad...not at all! really like the design!

Very nice. Let's hope it's in Randers then (We need them) It could also be Skanderborg.

btw, I think this is the final design for havneholmentower:
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/3800/havneholmentower2069f9gc8.jpg

Also a very nice design IMO..

^^ I would think Skanderborg was too small for such a tower, but who knows. My personal guess is Kolding, but yours are as good as mine.

And I wouldn't coun't of any final design on Havneholmen, with all the previous changes that has been. :D But let's hope something will happen soon.

^^ Wow, nice find, mlm. A really cool looking tower. :)
Hard to say where it could be. Can't really say anything based on the view out of the windows or any of the other renderings. My personal guess would be Horsens, Århus or Vejle...

About the Havneholmen Tower, is right that the design has changed a lot over time, but I would give this one a very good chance since most other projects on Havneholmen is allready under construction, and the tower site seems to be the next logical spot to be developed...

Beautiful tower! I dont "hope" for it to built in any specific city, i think it'll look good anywhere. Let's just hope that it actually gets built!

@ Tournesol: Århus could also be a good guess yes. I've also looked at the buildings around it and the landscape, but can't get much from that. Maybe it's somewhere along the ringroad in Århus. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

The tower in Jutland indeed looks good whereas the project in Copenhagen looks boring.

Post one updated with the new Havneholmen Tower and "Ketnerhus" (if that will be the name).

BTW, has anyone heard or seen anything about that 20 storey office building at "Borgmester Christiansens Gade 51-55"? I can't find anything about it.

According to the website "http://www.schaumann-as.dk/schaumann.swf" construction will start in 2008...

I just received a mail from Skanska saying that it's only a rendering at the moment (Havneholmen tower) -from the Swedish architect's Wingaardh.

^^ Thanks, let's hope we'll hear more about the 20 storey building soon, it looks quite nice.

And I hope Wingårdh will come up with something a little more exiting, they have have some quite cool proposals for Malmø lately.

New highrise project in Århus
The Bestseller Corporation has yesterday announced that they will be building a new warehouse and officebuilding in Århus harbour.
They say that the officebuiling will be a highrise but no height or floorcount is mentioned.
And since people in this country starts talking highrises when something goes above 6 floors its hard to say what this will be.
However sinces it ment for 500 employees and 20-25.000 squaremeters (including the warehouse part) I would say 20 floors would be a decent guess.

Just to avoid confusion, this tower has nothing to do with the planned 110 meter tower in Århus north harbour.
This one will be located in the new East harbour.

Yes.. good news from Århus. :)

Let's hope your right about the 20 floors...

......Århus.....
Bestseller 20 floors
Universitetet 25 floors
Ny Lisbjerg 2 x +20 floors
North harbour 1 x +20 floors

Seems like the proposed 28 floorer in Randers have gotten a new design (and new Architect). "Localplan" will have to be remade, since the old project was changed a lot. The first rendering from Arkitema, still 28 floors:

It's weekend and it's damn cold outside, so I take the freedom to go a little "off topic", atleast if we should stick to the 12 floor/35 meter highrise definition. I remembered this old post from the good old Euroscrapers forum:

(Found on the pre-skyscrapercity "Euroscrapers", postet on August 15th, 2002.)

BREAKING NEWS FOR DENMARK!!!

I've just heard in the news that two small towns in Jutland (the mainland in Denmmark) are both consittering to built highrises! Actually the two cities are very small, maybe with population on around 5,000 per city! But these two cities are competing about building highrises! One of the two cities will build a 7 story highrise, the other city will build an 8 story highrise on an old football field!!!

The buildings will aproximatly reach around 30m each! The two cities has no reason to built the highrises, well, one reason they have, because they will both have the tallest building! The two mayors in the cities want the construction to start as fast as possible, so they can boast to be the fastest to get their highrise completed too! -This is soooo funny!Today these 2 small towns are part of Herning Municipality, and the "highrise" race was won by Vildbjerg. This little town with a population of just 3644, got it's "highrise", while the other contender Aulum (with a huge population of 2918) never got theirs.

With 7 floors in Vildbjerg, it's so tall compared to most other things in town, that even I almost would call it a highrise there. It ain't very special, and it looks quite weird between 1 and 2 storey buildings, but atleast I'll give them the credit for the vision.

There has been quite a lot of talk about this building lately, because the mayor made a deal, that the old municipality has to pay the rent of the apartments until someone moves in the first time. Now after Vildbjerg has become part of Herning Municipality, Herning is stock with the bill (since they have problems finding tenants), and the deal made by the mayor might be illigal.

Anyway, I drove by Vildbjerg today, for the first time in many years, to take a look at it. Here you have it, judge for yourself:

Thors Bakke.. 28 floors on that location is fantastic. I can allready see the old silo from where i live (Other side of the Gudenaa valley) - The new proposel also move the location further up the hill...Fingers crossed ;-)

And another proposel/Vision... This time a tiny 300m Tower (to replace the old Odinstårnet- destroyed in WW2)

Hello everybody

Since I've noticed many people in here are frustrated about the constant opposition from the socalled "NIMBY's" and have discussed organising some pro-highrise opposition at a relevant occasion I thought you might be interested in knowing that the municipality of Copenhagen will be organising a public debate at City Hall on March 10th from 12 - 17.30 about the new proposed strategy for high rises in the city. The text from my invitation goes as follows:

A high reaching debate about Copenhagen! That's the goal when the City Hall on Saturday March 10th opens the doors for a debate about high rises in Copenhagen.

New York has them. London has them. Even Malmö got them. How should they look in Copenhagen and what can they be used for? That's a few of the questions that are addressed at a debate and a workshop about high rises in Copenhagen. On Saturday March 10th the City Hall Ceremony Hall is converted to a "courtroom" where the two "barristers" - journalists Vibeke Hartkorn and David Rehling - duel to get the more people on their side. To support their argument they have brought along a number of 'celebrity' witnesses from business and cultural spheres. It will however not be a trial that ends in a simple "yes" or "no" to highrises. Barristers and witnesses will work thoroughly to shed light on the question of whether high rises can contribute to make Copenhagen a more illustrious and competitive city.

"We would like the Copenhageners to think aloud/big ("højt"). Copenhagen is a city we can be proud of with good reason and therefore many Copenhageners have an opinion of how the city should develop. I hope that many would like to participate in that debate in a this slightly alternative and entertaining fashion" says the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Ritt Bjerregaard (S).

"Highrises are not just about building high. We should do it with a sense of quality and sustainability. I think that high rises can become important icons in the new boroughs. I am glad that this debate has now moved away from the desks of architects and city planners and instead is taking place among the Copenhageners" says mayor for infrastructure and the environment Klaus Bondam (R).

After the court case the citizens present participate in workshops about high rises in the different boroughs of Copenhagen. At the end of the table in each group will be a politician from the Citizens' Assembly to listen to ideas and suggestions.

The event takes place in the Ceremony Hall of the Copenhagen City Hall on March 10th from 12 - 5.30PM. It is necessary to register for the event, which can be done at www.kk.dk/højhuse (ed.: didn't seem to be working, when I tried it), where you can also read more about the event.

^^
Thank's for the hit...I probably come and take a look at it!

the link is www.kk.dk/hojhuse :)

my danish sucks... so it would be hard for me to debate to other Danes and explain why we need highrises... but oh well... CPH needs as many voices as possible if we should ever get (real) highrises!

If somebody else here is willing to join up and go there as a group i'd be more than willing :) (I just dont wanna be the only guy there) :D

I have to say Thors Bakke looks damn good in the renderings, quite tall too. 28 floors, would that make it about 90-100 m tall? Let's hope no nimbys touches it :)

Let's hope no nimbys touches it :)

LOL, don't count on it, this is Denmark, we love NIMBY'ing :lol:

A few new renders from Arkitekthuset, of the 85 m highrise in a still unknown town in eartern Jutland:

And from the same company is another highrise proposal, again no specific town, only "middle Jutland". We're looking at a 14 storey tower, with apartments in the 10 upper floors. I'm guessing the location is somewhere in Silkeborg, since there has been some talk about a new 14 storey building, but I don't know for sure.

Wow... that 2nd is... quite... ugly... :)

The old bustation in Aabenraa is to be torn down, and relocated, and there has been talks of building a 12 storey building, so a skyscraper, on the site.

The site is placed downtown, just next to the harbour, so if it will be build the town, with app. 10.000 citisens, will have quite a skyline for a town of this size.

No renderings has been made official so far, but it will house both offices and appartments plus some shops on the ground floor.

This is really awsome news for a town of this size! :)

Hi, Kaneda! :wave: Good news, I hope it will happen, it would be awesome! :okay:

@ Kanada: Good news from Aabenraa. Be sure to post it, if you see anyu renderings. :)

Futher north, in Kolding, there are new highrise plans too. From an article in JyskeVestkysten it sounds like there are 3 projects in downtown Kolding, close to the harbour. They're all supposed to be some 16-18 floors. Can't find much more, since you have to pay to read all the articles. I did manage to find one rendering though, this one is from "JUUL ARKITEKTER":

http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/skyscrapercity/denmark/koldinghavn01.jpg

I'll wait adding anything to post one, untill it's more clear what we looking at.
-------

Not really project news, but someone might find it intersting anyway. We have some debate here in Herning about highrises at the moment, and it looks like there will be made a "Highrise plan", to decide areas for future highrises. I've made a theme about it on my website, it is only in Danish though. Please only comment there if you have something to say about the actual subject, thanx: Herningshuse.dk (www.herningshuse.dk) (link to the theme on the frontpage.)

^^ Wow, nice find, mlm. A really cool looking tower. :)
Hard to say where it could be. Can't really say anything based on the view out of the windows or any of the other renderings. My personal guess would be Horsens, Århus or Vejle...And you were right, it was in Århus. On Viborgvej to be more exact. The tower was just presented on the MIPIM 2007 in Cannes. For people who forgot which tower we're talking about:

Århus Stifttidende also writes that the comming 110 m tower on the harbour, could be as tall as 130-140 m, so it will becaome the tallest in Denmark. The decision of which "team" will win are decided on April 16th.

Århus about to unveil Denmark's highest building

The Tower house in the new canal city on the harbour looks set to be higher t han 120 metre making it the tallest building in the country.

By Morten Svith and Louise Witt

The new canal city on the harbour is reaching for the skies. Many things seem to indicate that the borough's coming beacon will be significantly taller than the 110 metres that were originally proposed.

Sources inform the newspaper they will not be surprised if the Tower house in the canal city will be between 130 and 140 metres - meaning between 35 and 38 stories.

Very tall and spectacular buildings are in these years becoming an important element in the competition between larger cities to develop a modern profile and attract investment.

Malmö has managed to do that with extreme success through the 190 metres tall and sculptural Turning Torso, which is the tallest building in Scandinavia. And the scandic capital (sic) continues: In 2011 it will be ready with a housing tower of 216 metres drawn by Århus-based architects C. F. Møller.

In Århus fierce negotiations are taking place about the right to build and about what is to be built on the outmost tip in the northern harbour - where it is possible to build in the height. The decison will be made on April 16th.

Mayor Nicolai Wammen will not offer an estimate of how tall the house will be but constrains himself to saying 'It will be high. We have said at least 110 metres but exactly how high is impossible to say at his stage. We're still in negotiations with several consortia that participate in the bid.

My ambition is not to set a Scandinavian record. The goal is an iconic building that suits the city. The Tower House should be a beacon for the new borough - and for the entire city, says the Mayor.

The reader will notice that Nicolai Wammen sets the limit for his ambitions at the Scandinavian record and not the Danish: The 120 metres of Herlev Hospital.

Mayor and technical councillor Peter Thyssen (R) promises a house, which will be noticed both from the bay and the highway (ed. note: some ambition, huh)

The Turning Torso has been a scoop for Malmö. It is something the city has really branded itself on, says Peter Thyssen, who cannot yet say anything precise about the extent to which the architecture will be eyecatching in the winning propsal that will be presented to Århus on the harbour.

"But it will be a high rise, that will put Århus on the architectonic map. I can promise you that" says the councillor.

Source: http://stiften.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070318/STIFTEN/103180856/1273/STIFTEN

^^ Great, let's hope this one isn't shot down too! It sounds like a cool project!

"But it will be a high rise, that will put Århus on the architectonic map. I can promise you that" says the councillor.
I'll remember that!!

Sounds good, lets just hope (like DD mentioned) it wont blow off. :)

^^ It's been a while since we last heard anything about this tower, and it's good to here that they are now considering making it taller than the originally proposed 110 meters :)
I know that two architectural offices are currently working on the design. Can't wait to see what they come up with...

And cool with the plans from Kolding too. Nice find (again) mlm :okay:

Anybody know what going on in Vejle? Just went through the city by train this weekend and there where some cranes on and next to the old silos at the harbour. Are the renovating them and turning them into new apartments maybe (I'm a optimist:))?

and are there any news on the big project at the north harbour in Århus (I think it's the north harbour)...any high rises planed maybe?:D

I've had the same though about the Vejle silos. Haven't seen anything about them being converted though, so I doubt it.

I think the winner for the 1st stage of the Århus harbour development are revealed on ~April 19th. 1st part includes the tallest buildings there, the 120+ m tower that is.

thanks mlm...!:) looking forward to se what is going to happen in Århus

2 More towers for Århus, or actually a pair of twins. Height: 110 m each.

Found it on Stiften.dk today. The architect is 3 x Nielsen. I'm at work now so don't have time to write more, but here are 2 renderings:

Wow, good for Århus! Let's hope we can have at least one skyscraper city in this country :D (I'm starting to lose whatever faith I ever had in Copenhagen)

MLM, I wondered about adding this project to the list: http://www.cfmoller.com/ren_fors_detail.asp?s=1&num=1&id=7335&alle=&r=0.1067861
I thought that it was perhaps identical to the Kentner building, but it seems not to be. It was published a month or so ago.

With regards,
Kristoffer Mogensen

/\ I've seen it before, and no it's not the Ketner building. I'm no sure how serious it is though, and it looks to me like very early sketches, so I think we should wait.

Love the "twin tower" proposol in Århus :) Really hope the best for it!

A new vision for Herning. A local businessman and politician has payed CEBRA arkitekter to make a proposal for a new Golf Resort, though it doesn't look like there are any concret plans yet for construction of it. yet The highrise is planned as a Hotel, and it will be 100 m tall with 25 floors. The location would be somewhere in the outskirts of Herning, where different locations for a new golf course has been discussed.

Wow.. looks cool! Though i cant see how realistic it would be to actually see this thing come up...

Hmmm... By the renders it looks like it's made of ice, and shaped like a cheese. Ice + Cheese = :banana:
But I love the design! Great and really original!

^^ Hehe, could be called "The Big Cheese". BTW, isn't it dangerous to make a building full of "holes" on a golf course.

Just FYI - the city portal for Århus "aarhus.dk" has published a special feature (http://www.aarhus.dk/aa/portal/temaer/hoejhusbyggeri) on the new highrises planned for the city of Århus (2nd largest in Denmark).

Take a look at it - I'm not sure there's anything new in it but it will probably still be of interest to the members of this forum as long as there are no more holiday shots posted by our regulars.

Looks like Århus will get a 130 meter tower, at the new harbour development.

On monday the winner for the first part of the harbour development will be announced, and according to jp.dk the winner will be a Danish/Dutch team called "Light House". The first plan involves a 130 m tower, which looks like it will be the tallest in Denmark (unless anything else happens). The team inclues a number of companies, among them Danish 3 x Nielsen (Århus), Gehl Architects (Copenhagen) and UN Studio (Netherlands).

"Light House" was chosen, according to jp.dk, partly because of the highrise, which will be "architectural unusual". I hope we'll see some renders at the presentation monday. :)

The article from jp (in Danish): Århus får landets højeste hus (http://www.jp.dk/aar/artikel:aid=4350524/)

good news :D sounds very promising

It sure looks like a cheese! Interesting tower, would be cool to see it get built, though i doubt that, but a good project!

130m tower for Århus is awesome! Hope they publish some renderings soon! :yes:

There will be both a bar and a restaurant at the top of a 142 metre high rise, which the politicans in Århus have decided to erect at the harbourfront of the city as part of a large scale urban redevelopment project.

At the top floor of the winning project - appointed today - there will be public access all way round. The building is to be four times as high as the well known "Round Tower" of Copenhagen.

Residences and offices
It is the consortium Lighthouse with the participation of Council Housing Associations in Århus that won the stage to develop the tip of the harbour area, where 40.000 sqm of residences and 18.000 sqm of offices will be placed.

The consortium Z-Huset ("Z-House") with participation of the Copenhagen architect Dorte Mandrup won the competition to develop an area next to the tip where offices and residences will be built as well.

The first residents are expected to be able to move in in the year 2010.

"We will get world class architecture and a new beacon for Århus" says mayor Nicolai Wammen about the high rise.

EDIT: Allegedly more information about the winning projects will be made available here (http://www.aarhuskommune.dk/portal/borger/byplan_arkitektur/store_projekter/de_bynaere_havnearealer/vinderprojekter). However, the link does not work at the moment.

Apparently the LightHouse itself will be around 130 metres high but a glass dome of 12 metres will be attached to the top of it according to this article (http://www.jp.dk/aar/artikel:aid=4353498/) in the regional newspaper Jyllandsposten. Architects are 3xNielsen along with Dutch architects UN Studio og Gehl Architects (urban space) from Copenhagen.

Damn, this is exciting!!! Can't wait to see some renderings!

Surely looks good. Here are 2 bigger renderings:

Hell yeah! Finally someone has the balls in DK to build a proper highrise and I think its great that its in Aarhus :D Looks great as well!

The link quoted by me in the above actually works now. By following it you can among other things view large renderings of the pictures I posted (as evidenced by mlm's post). The remaining renderings on the page are of the Z-House, which I personally think looks quite interesting. It resembles the VM-Bjerget if I'm not mistaken:

Thanks knilaus

Pretty good...

OK...It's stunning. I Love the design from 3xN. It's thin, pretty high and first of all the location is perfect.
Ready in 2010! That's fast....

We need a little _ :banana: _for this one....

Very nice indeed. Lets hope Copenhagen will pick up the challenge and build something even taller.
A competetion between Cph. and Arhus in this matter could be exiting!
:banana:

It's not every day a new tallest building for Denmark is announced. And this one looks very nice! Århus is the Malmö of Denmark - leaders in both height and quality. Well done, Århus!!

I found this illustration on http://www.aarhus.dk/aa/portal/temaer/hoejhusbyggeri

http://www.aarhus.dk/aap_images/temaer/hoejhusbyggeri/hoejhusgrafik.jpg

PS. Maybe Århus are building tall to compensate for their lousy football team :lol: In that case, Agf should just stay in the second best league - and if Fck could be pursuaded to keep them company, then Cph might also get some scrapers..

Woohoo, great news! :banana: First the Bella Center hotel is back on track and then this!

Beautiful!! Congratulation Århus!

It's quite interesting to see what happens in Århus at the moment. Lots of great high rise-projects, lots of urban development. They should have their own thread here.
It seems somwhow natural that they beat Copenhagen in the highest high rise - like Malmø have beaten Stockholm. There is something about the sleepy capitals - even though a lot is going on both here and in Stockholm, lots of contruction, development and projects, but still too affraid of the height - unless it's below the 100 m. But in the growing upcommers they have the goods to challenge the Scandinavian fear of height...:)

I'm so jealous. At least they don't have a good soccer team ;-)

Wow! That's one of my top ten buildings right now! :D

WOW!!!
This project is one of the coolest I've seen in a long while!!!
I agree with a lot of you guys in your analysis: It seems as if the two big capitals in Scandinavia have been acting too slowly and sleepy. I actually think thay're hit by surprise by the amazing projects of cities such as Århus and Malmö.

Århus looks more and more like Malmö concerning this matter. Beautiful and impressive buildings make the cities really attractive. (And I must admit: This tower is even better than Malmö Tower, though the latter is taller)

Copenhagen and Stockholm have been too busy marketing themselves as "the most beautiful city in the world" :ohno: , and too busy enjoying the power of being the "headquarters" of the national states.

However, in this new emerging European society, REGIONS are becoming more important than countries. Malmö is well aware of that: Of course the city will never outgrow Stockholm (and they know it) but the region of which Malmö is a vital and central part, ÖRESUND, is much bigger than Stockholm and has already become a much more dynamic and attractive region than Stockholm. Öresund will become a stronger European "powerhouse" than Stockholm (or CPH alone) could ever be.

Well, each city/region is unique. Stockholm and CPH have things to offer which other regions can't ever offer. But when it comes building tall Malmö and Århus are the cities which are the best in doing that in Scandinavia.

Ready in 2010! That's fast....Hold your horses, it says that the first people can move in in 2010, but the area also includes other buildings than the highrise (dare I to say Skyscraper? :D). I would think we're looking at a quite complicated construction phase, since the location is on a pier, basicly on water, and therefore 2010 for the tower alomst seems to fast. We should not forget that they still need to move the harbour itself, and create the canals and stuff. I belive some of the areas are under water right now. But let's hope for the best.

They should have their own thread here.Feel free to start one, though I think we should still keep all highrise news here in this thread. ;)


Here's what I added to post, if anyone has anything to add, let me know. I made a count from one of the big renderings, and came to 42 floors, not sure how accurate it is though, seems a bit high. Notice the project website in the name:

http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/skyscrapercity/denmark/citytop/aarhus.jpg

Light*House (http://www.lighthouse-aarhus.dk/)
142 m
Floors ~42
Residential, Restaurant and Skybar
Proposed (Design revealed on April 16, 2007)
Will be the tallest building in Denmark if build
Architects: 3 x Nielsen A/S (http://www.3xn.dk/) and UN Studio (http://www.unstudio.com/)
Will it be build? - My guess: 90 % chance

How far from CPH is Århus?

Looks amazing...seems like that high rises in Scandinavia all shall be white:D
The facade looks very unique imo

Edit:
is there anything else than fancy music on http://www.lighthouse-aarhus.dk/ ? maybe it's just my browser that sucks...

btw. thanks for the nice update!:)

Edit again:D:
It's was just mozilla that sucked...

/\ Yes there's a little info on it. I think you'll need the latest flash player to see it. Here's another website with more information: www.keopslighthouse.dk (http://www.keopslighthouse.dk/composite-376.htm)

On one of the pdf's on the page it says that construction time will depend on the localplan, that will be ready around start 2008. So we're still looking at a proposed project...

So does it lean or is it just the rendering?

I think this might just be a great day in Danish architectural history!

Nice tower. Well done Århus. The facade will probably change in the design process. Hope Copenhagen will wake up now.

Really nice news for århus. Its been a long time since there has been anything new going on up there (or maybe im just not following the forums close enough).

What ever happend to that project in Esbjerg that was supossed to be DK's new tallest? And diden't it have a new that was somewhat similar to this one?

/\ There has been some quite interesting proposals for Århus lately, check them in post one of this thread. :)

Haven't hread anything of the tower in Esbjerg for a loooong time, so the chances for it probably aren't that big anymore.

Beauuuuutiful :applause:

Though like mlm said its still just a proposed building... no 100% guarentee that it actually will get built... so im not gonna raise my head too high up yet...

/\ I would think the chance of it getting build is very high though, also much higher than the Esbjerg proposal some years ago. Specially since it "on order" from the city itself, and seems like a huge prestige project for Århus.

I got nothing much to add besides what's already been said. I would like to say though that Z-husene looks unimaginative and boring compared to VM-husene and other designs by former-BIG.

Good show Aarhus, good show!

Great project indeed. Both height and design. And it has receeved quite good press coverage allready, with both DR and TV2 presenting the project on national news - and in possitive ways, not the usual fear-of-heights-thing.

I agree with mlm, that this project has a very high chance of going though the approval process without problems.
As he said - the city launched the whole thing themselves, AND the location of the builing doesn't have any neighbours (currently). No neighbours = no NIMBY's :D

And - not to forget - good news with the 110m twins by the watertower at Randersvej. Seems 3XN is determined to give Århus a taller profile :)

No neighbours = no NIMBY's :D
Please don't underestimate the dark forces of evil! In that way we will surely be defeated.

/\ I would think the chance of it getting build is very high though, also much higher than the Esbjerg proposal some years ago. Specially since it "on order" from the city itself, and seems like a huge prestige project for Århus.

Let's hope your right. :)

Swedens' largest newspaper Aftonbladet mentioned the tower today. Congrats fellow danes!

Please don't underestimate the dark forces of evil! In that way we will surely be defeated.

Did you guys see the fisherman/Nimby they interview on the news?

He said he had protested the project everywhere he could, but now that it was a sure thing, he was going to dovote his energy to getting on a waiting list for an apartment in the tower, cos' as he said "The view is going to be amazing..."
:bash: :bash: :lol: :nuts:

That pure Nimby logic for you there.....:cheers:

Imo the Babcock & Brown and NNC Kuben proposals also looked good...but still I'm glad the chose the one they did...very spectaclular:yes:

Dont forget to vote on Berlingske.dk, should copenhagen build an even taller building than this one on 142 m.....

Come beat the nimbys and mothers....

Ja 34%

Nej 66%

...

damn nimbys!!

And yet another new projects, this time from a "new" place (highrise´wise): Holstebro.

The plan is to build a 70 meter tall building, with ~20 floors. The upper 12 floors will be residential, while the lower office. There will also be a 3 storey deep parking garage, with some 370 places. There will be a "bidding round", to decide who'll build the tower, and according to Dagbladet Holstebro-Struer (local newspaper) the deisgn is likely to change during that process.

This first rendering is made by Arkitektfirmaet Torsten Riis Andersen:

Thanks mlm
It's beginning to look like an epidemic (a nice one though)

"Holstebro" !!!

Ja 34%

Nej 66%

...

damn nimbys!!

As I have dicovered lately its not the nimbys, who hate everything, but all the mummies on Østerbro and Vesterbro....2.4 kids, perfect apartments, voting for "de radikale" and spending there days on the pricy cafes dring cafelatte and shopping for organic goods in Emmery's while chatting with all the other mummies....Thay have taken my beloved paper hostage....Or perhaps not, but for some reason the paper thinks that that is their target reader and sadly the paper are startng to suffer from it...Its dangerous...:ohno:

It's beginning to look like an epidemic (a nice one though)Indeed it is, and a a great one! The proposals are popping up all over the country, at a never seen pace. Alone here in april we had the 110 m twin towers in Århus, the 142 m light*house same place, 100 m golf hotel in Herning and this new 70 m in Holstebro.

I've also found a few more that maybe soon will be ready for the list:

Three 20 storey towers in Vejle, in a new big office/residential project called Lysholtparken.
More "towers" in the Skamlingsvejen project in Kolding, up to 16 to be exact. According to the news I found, they'll each have 10 normal floors + base and penthouse, so 12 floors in total. Not sure if they all will have that height though.

I just hope we'll see more actual construction soon. :)

"Three 20 storey towers in Vejle, in a new big office/residential project called Lysholtparken."

Amazing... Didn't know that.

Agree... we need to see some action (groundwork) soon. I don't believe in the Esbjerg and Horsens project no more - but let's wait and see.

/\ HERE (http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Trekanten/Nyheder/Vejle/2007/04/12/171450.htm?rss=true&regional)'s a small article about the 3 Vejle towers.

I'm also affraid that a lot of the project we see now, will never be realized. Start building god dammit!!

You just keep diggin' new projects up, mlm :D
Nice design for that Holstebro tower. Great to have a new city joining the trend.
I share the concern with you guys. If we don't see some of all these projects getting build soon, they all might be dropped.
But i think the LightHouse project in Århus will do the general debate a lot of good. And Vejle seems to be showing a good example too.

mlm, what is the latest status on DGI-byen in Herning? Shouldn't it be about ready to go into construction soon?

mlm, what is the latest status on DGI-byen in Herning? Shouldn't it be about ready to go into construction soon?One would think so yes, though I'm not exactly sure what the status is. I can see that it is mentioned in the more citycouncil meetings lately, but always as "closed for the public" so I can't see what it's all about. I'm guessing they're soon ready to sell the ground to the investors, but I can only guess. The 12 storey proposal (the one from Hernning Larsen Architects) will appearantly be up for approval in may, I'm looking forward to see what happens with that too.

I just got a few more renderings of the Holstebro tower:

so true...

New project on Islands brygge called sphinxen. It is built by walls which is a new company that started in 2006. Renderings can be seen here

http://www.wallscopenhagen.dk/#/project_danmark/danmark/boliger

and here

http://holgaard.dk/

It seems to be 12 floors and costruction is planned to start in 2008.

^^Thanks for the links :) The project isn't that new, as it allready appeared as part of the Islands Brygge Syd-development presented in the Copenhagen construction and development thread. But at that time it seemed very sketchy, so it's nice to see that it's progressing. The renderings are a bit small, so it's hard to judge the design at this time...

/\ Yes the projects there has been discussed before, but I haven't added anything simply because I'm very confused about this. Also having a really hard time finding renderings. Are these already approved or??

I added two of the Islands Brygge Syd projects to post one, here they are:


Vingehusene (2 Buildings, part of the Islands Brygge Syd development)
12 floors

Number 3 will be the first project (this spring/summer). Then 4, 5, and 6. They are part of the "Bryggen Waterfront" area.

4 - 12 floors
3 - 14 floors
and some 9, 10 11 floors aswell.

It's becoming a very nice and trendy "lorteø" :)

Great news! 66% of people in Copenhagen support high rises as long as they are outside of the old central citycenter. Take that NIMBYs!!!!!!!!!

Yes, all of the Islands Brygge Syd development is approved.
When that's said, I wound't be surprised if there has to be made minor changes and dispensations along the way, but the building heights is not in danger :)

Thanx EDK_DK and Tournesol.

I also added the "De Tre Søstre" building, since one of them has 14 floors:

De Tre Søstre (Part of the Islands Brygge Syd development.)
14 floors (Two lower buildings also part of the project.)

Still having problems finding good renderings of the last projects. There's something on the John Roberts website of the "Silo", but not sure if that is 1, 3 or 5 buildings or whatever it is. Check out the project HERE (http://www.jra.co.uk/projects/residential/island_brygge.html).

From the overview EDK_DK posted it looks like we need:

"Fingerbygningerne": 12 floors (C.F. Møller)
"Gasometeret": 12 floors (André Straja)
"Silo": 12 floors (John Roberts)
"Kræmmerhuset": 14 floors (No architect yet)
"Blomsten": 14 floors (Dorte Mandrup)

The buildings "Vingerne" are 37m tall.


"Gasometeret": 12 floors (André Straja) 40m

The only project by John Roberts is the "silo" which can be seen to the right in the last photo of "gasometeret"
I think he was making the masterplan for that area....
The silo looks like a renovation of the old silo. But it's not...The old one will be brought down.

/\ So, 2 of the "Gasometeret" buildings, and 1 "Silo"? Can you find a better rendering of the "Silo"?

The Lighthouse looks amazing, a great Danish project. Hopefully it will get built then, and if it does this project should make some headlines several other places around the world as TT did (and still do)! :)

/\ So, 2 of the "Gasometeret" buildings, and 1 "Silo"? Can you find a better rendering of the "Silo"?

Can't find any at the moment. I've seen some of "Fingerbygningerne" somewhere...But can't remember where. And they are not on CF-Møllers website anymore.
So, as you mentioned earlier - let's just wait for some better renderings before putting them on the list.:cheers:

Great news! 66% of people in Copenhagen support high rises as long as they are outside of the old central citycenter. Take that NIMBYs!!!!!!!!!

In Danish:
http://www.berlingske.dk/indland/artikel:aid=886826

Great..."news"
Still the minority (Nimbys) are able to climate the situation in Copenhagen.

-Krøyers plads.
-Kløvermarken
-Bryghusgrunden
-Tivoli
-Valby (fl smidt grunden/Grøntorvet)
-Scanport
-Njalsgade
-etc.......

And the fear for highrises will continue on:
-Carlsberg area...
-Århusgade area...
-Revshaleøen
-Metropolzonen

I'm a little Nimby myself though... I think the "old city center" should stay as it is.. without new highrises...

BTW, why aint any of you Copenhageners talking about the "old" FL-Smidt/Grøntorvet area? Actually it's larger than the Carlsberg project in terms of sqm !?

http://politiken.dk/indland/article288657.ece

Hmm, is that the end of The Battery?

^^I thought this was the Battery???

No it's not. It's a hole new project. There is a big article in Politiken today - the paper edition. It's actually looks quite good. The Mosque itself have a great architectural design, and the surrounding buildings seems to include a high rise. However it not have the amount of high rises as The Battery, the density also is a lot lower. All in all I like The Battery a bit more, but the new project is great too. But the new project seems a lot more likely to be build, as the finance is in place, the only catch is that they don't have the area, so The Battery guys have to give up their project first, but the earlier reports of the financial status of that project havn't been that good, so I guess they will gladly give up the area for the right amount of money. And if they don't, that must mean that The Battery will get the right finance anyway.
Let's see - either way it's good.

I read the article too.
It says that the people behind "The Battery" Bought the site three weeks ago so they must still be interested in building their project?!
So now there are two different projects for that site, or what??
:crazy2:

Islands Brygge is certainly getting some nice architecture!

@EDK_DK: I think there will be more interest in the FL Smidt area when some more and better proposals are put on the table. The only stuff planned for the area that I have seen has been boring 4-5 story buildings. Carlsberg on the other hand have had a very open competition for their area, and the area is a high rise zone according to the municipalities high rise strategy.

By the way, I was checking out some papers from Aarhus, when I came across another double-standard NIMBY. A NIMBY that loves living on the 13th floor but wants to deny other people the same pleasure!! Here you go - but hold on to your chair (only in Danish): http://stiften.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070422/STIFTEN/104220984/1273/STIFTEN

They had a small segemnt in DR's News tonight about the Mosque project including a clip of a video that showed the mosque. Probably what have already been in the papers, but I had never seen it before, and I must say it looked pretty good. Unlike any Mosque I had ever seen before, and a right fit for the area. They had an interview with politicians who were positive about the project and also a positive comment from Iman Abdul Whalid Pedersen.

The architects will meet tomorow with the islamic organisation in new york to finelice the details and as I understud it the financing is already in place

/\ I saw it too, but didn't take much notice in the Mosque itself. What caught my eyes was a highrise behind it, or rather the the floors of a highrise (didn't have a design). It looked quite tall though, maybe some 25-30 floors. :)

^yeah it looked atleast 20% taller than the nearby Radisson....

So we're talking 100m here :lol:

^^ Still drunk Mr D?? :-)

I saw a model with a high rise with those dimensions but I'm pretty sure it's just the SAS hotel - although it looked much nicer in the model than in reality

^^It looked tall anyways, what ever it was. But I hope it wasnt the SAS hotel. It would be good with another out there. And a nice signal. Religion meets commerce in a modern way....


Btw, noone noticed the Mosque itself? I was the only one who thought it looked cool...?

According to the pictures in "Politiken" The higrise is a part of the project and not the SAS hotel, and it seems like around 30 floors:)
But maybe it will not be build before later...

Well if it's a new tall building then great! And good luck! But there really is something fishy about this project. I would give it a "mlm-probability rating" of about 5%. And @cphdude, I do think the mosque looks nice.

^ Yeah anything above 10m on Amager and planes might hit it.... and think of the crazy winds supertalls ( 6 story+ ) generates... we simply can't risk it!


As for the mosque - yeah that does look great!


I guess the "mountain project" is comepletely dead and barried now right?

^^ Still drunk Mr D?? :-)

I saw a model with a high rise with those dimensions but I'm pretty sure it's just the SAS hotel - although it looked much nicer in the model than in reality

From what they are shoing on the news today, I dont think it can be the SAS hotel. They are located on Amager Boulevard, and thats far away from where this project is located. So I think it is a new high rise. But they still dont have the land and the guys who own it wont sell it...

The Wenzel proposal had the moderate islamic Tabah foundation as financiers of the mosque. I wonder who the BIG consortium will present as financiers of their mosque .. if it is the Saudi Wahabis I'm going to oppose the project full force no matter the architectural merits of the proposal.

very great projects just some are very strange ! :) ....nice...

^^Hanso faundation?? :lol: :lol:

It seems like the "Battery" mosque project is still on track according to this article in JP(In danish)
http://www.jp.dk/kbh/artikel:aid=4384102/

^^Though as it also say, some politicians are not interested in highrises on the lot, or in resedential or office space...Only the mosque. It seams it has been so long since they have build churches in copenhagen, that they have forgotten that if you want something awesome, it costs more, and building it with apartments and office buildings is how you afford it...Not to mention that this is a mosque so they would have even fewer money to build it for. Without the apartments and office spaces, where do the politicians think the money should come from?

I really hope this is not just a cheap trick designed to once again, come close to building this thing and then in the last minute do something that makes it impossible...I hope not but it has happend before, and as I said, they cant be so naive as to think the Danish muslim community just has 400 million kroners lying around to build for...

Both in Copenhagen and in Århus is there widely support for more high rises, and for the current projects. The Lighthouse in Århus have supprt from 75% in the city. :banana:
No NIMBY's gonna stop us now. They killed the Tivoli-project (as it seems) - now we take the rest...

:applause: :cheers:

I think people are fooling themselves if they honestly think that they can afford to live in a highrise in a way that will give them a good view. I asked the question in an earlier thread "Is the highrise a viable form of housing for ordinary people?" to which the question was largely negative as I remember it.

People's imagination has been stimulated by the lighthouse project undoubtedly but I fear that once they realise that an average flat in a highrise will be prohibitively expensive we will see a major backlash against having the sky monopolised by housing for the wealthy.

Unless of course developers manage to find a way to give ordinary people the opportunity to live in a high rise. Does anyone here know what the average sqm price is for high rises?

That's not my general impression knilaus...

I know quite a few who actually sold their expensive houses in Risskov/Egå and moved to some new modern "highrise" appartments in city (Århus).

I think (Don't know) that many +55 would like to live their third part of life in places like "light House" etc. And money it's not a problem...

The Danes who bought appartments in TT Malmø are infact +55 in the cases I've seen.

The Danes who bought appartments in TT Malmø are infact +55 in the cases I've seen.

I entirely agree that the most likely target segments for residential high rises are educated empty-nesters and young urban professionals or dinks, but I think that "ordinary people" spans a broader portfolio of different people.

With 33% of the population saying that they would like to live in a high rise I have to question if all of those 33% are really educated empty-nesters or young urban professionals. If not it would appear that they are deceiving themselves about whether they can afford to live there or not.

For the sake of comparison I checked out the pricing at Turning Torso and it seems you can get a 100 sqm flat on 52nd floor (#5203) for a price corresponding to roughly 14.000 DKK monthly (i.e. around 1.900€). For 1.000 DKK more you can get a 100 sqm flat in Ørestad City (http://pho.robinhus.dk/ejendom/default.asp?boligid=33445#) presumably financed the cheapest way meaning 1 year renewable loans with no repayment until termination.

Both types of housing are clearly targeted at the segments described in the above but I have to admit I'm surprised that the TT alternative is that financially attractive compared to the Ørestad option. However, it is important to remember that the comparison is not necessarily fair considering that the buildings are in different countries, one is a rental and the other a condominium. Caveat emptor!

I'm not sure this is a good comparison, but it shows that it doesn't have to be that expensive to build/live in highrises. It's an example from Rotterdam, in a new building called The Red Apple, which is currently under construction. And without knowing much about the construction prices in The Netherlands, I can't imagine it can be that much cheaper than in Denmark.

In The Red Apple you can for example get a 76 m2 apartment, on the 35th floor, for 269.000 € (roughly 2.000.000 dkr). Check out the price list (http://www.theredapple.nl/uploadedFiles/Nieuws/Red%20Apple_prijslijst_Toren_14-04-07.pdf) and the building website (http://www.theredapple.nl/) yourself.

2mil DKK would hardly get you a run down crappy 50M2 apartment in Nordvest CPH anymore...

Aalborg might be the next place with big plans. On april 17th, 5 teams presented their visions for an industrial area called "Østre Havn", which are to be transformed into a new mixed use area. Check out the 5 visions, specially the last two has a bunch of highrises in them: 5 visions for Østre Havn (http://www.aalborgkommune.dk/Borgerportal/Serviceomraader/Bo+og+Byg/Arkitektur/Arkitekturforum/workshoppen.htm)

A few snaps from the page. First the vision from Schmidt Hammer Lassen:

And here a part of the one from Arkitema:

Remember, these are VISIONS, so no reason to bash or praise the building "desings" themself, since this is surely not how things will end, if they follow one of the visions. ;)

Cool! I like them both! :D

if only... it could be... :(

I like those visions as well

Great visions for Aalborg, if this only could come to life it would be awesome!

Update on the 2 Herning highrises:

The proposed 12 storey building was approved by the "Byplanudvalg" recently, and are up for final approval very soon. The developer, KPC Byg, says they expect to start building already in August 2007. :)
The building will be clad in something called "Tombak", which is also what is used on Tietgenkollegiet. I'm getting more and more exited about this one, even though it's just 12 floors. Here's a new rendering/drawing:

There's also a bit of news from the DGI project. Seems like they've come quite far in the negotiations, but it'll take a little more time. A new rendering is also made, and it looks like the highrise is okay to go now. The developer, again KPC Byg A/S, are a bit affraid of the highrises part though, since it could be hard to sell that many apartments at the moment. I have to say I'm still not too crazy about the design...unfortunately:

Hm, interesting, the facade looks like to be out of wood, at least the 9 story tower. Do you have any other rendering of the tower?

/\ Nope it's the only one I've seen. But it ain't wood, it something called "Tombac", which is a bit similar to cobber. Check out photo nr 7 on this page (http://www.acstaal.dk/1-135-indgangspartier-og-overdaekninger.html), to see it in real life.

Found some news, and some new renderings, of the Borgmester Christiansengade 51-55-project.
It have now got a name: Krystallerne

The high rise have shrunk, very unfortunately!! But the design have improved a lot!!
But it's too bad that the high rise is now lower - it would have been a perfect place for a higher house.

http://www.schaumanngroup.com/content/dk/erhverv/ledige_erhvervslejemal/krystallerne

So the highrise in the project had simply gone :badnews:

So the highrise in the project had simply gone :badnews:

It still have 12 floors (as far as I can see) - which is considered a high rise in this city, but the real high rise is gone. Unfortunately!

^^only in copenhagen is that considered a "high rise"...

^^only in copenhagen is that considered a "high rise"...

Actually Copenhagens official definition of a "Highrise" is 13 floors or >40m

Page 12:
http://www.planogarkitektur.kk.dk/upload/5_0_byplanlægning/hojhusstrateri/ideoplaeg.pdf

I think the "12 floors or 35 m" is commonly used by emporis and here on SSB..

@ cphdude: Not really, I think 12 floors is the most used definition of a highrise around the world. That being said, I think this new proposal sucks. Not because it isn't nice, but because it's a lot shorter than the old one. Even though we only had the small rendering of the old proposal, I really liked it. What a shame...but unfortunately no big surprise.

just dont understan why there arent that tall scrapers here in denmark.. but the design of all these aproval and propsed doesnt fail anything...

From http://www.hvidovreavis.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070523/NYHEDER/105230088
Forslaget sendes til høring blandt alle Hvidovreborgere


lHvorfor højhuse ved Rebæk Søpark Centeret?
- Desværre er Rebæk Søpark Centeret ikke mere konkurrencedygtigt og attraktivt for lejere. Når Zoo Zity flytter ud af centeret ved udgangen af juli 2008, risikerer vi at stå med et hel- eller halvtomt center, og det kan områdets beboere ikke være tjent med.
Sådan forklarer borgmester Britta Christensen situationen for Rebæk Søparks beboere i et indlæg i det seneste nummer af beboerbladet.
- For at komme situationen i forkøbet planlægger Rebæk Søpark Centerets ejere, at cirka halvdelen af det nuværende bydelscenter mod vest skal bevares som lokalcenter med dagligvarebutik, kiosk, frisør, spisested m.m. På den østlige del af ejendommen etableres et boligområde med to højhuse på 25 etager med ca. 200 boliger. Der vil være tale om relativt "slanke" højhuse, hvor der kun vil være fire boliger på hver etage, skriver borgmesteren.
På området mellem butikkerne og højhusene planlægges et nyt rekreativt fælles torv med grønne områder, der kan fungere som mødested for områdets beboere.
Landskabelig påvirkning
- Forud for beslutning om et byggeri som højhusene ved Rebæk Søpark skal der udarbejdes en miljøvurdering. Jeg mener, at vi skal have fuld åbenhed omkring dette projekt, og derfor har jeg her "plukket" de væsentligste punkter fra rapporten om indvirkningen på miljøet i området:
Udsynet for en del af områdets beboere vil ændre sig som følge af det nye byggeri. Oplevelsen af højhusene vil variere fra individ til individ, men samlet vurderes udsynet ikke at blive væsentligt forringet.
Højhusbebyggelsen vil hovedsageligt påvirke udsynet for beboerne i det 16. etagers højhus vest for ejendommen på Rebæk Søpark 3.
Det fjerne udsyn mod øst til villakvarteret, industriområdet og i horisonten Hvidovre by vil delvist blive forringet. Beboerne vil dog stadig kunne se ud i horisonten imellem højhusene.
Tættest mod øst kigger beboerne i dag ned på taget på Rebæk Søpark Centreret. Med anlæggelsen af et fælles torv og mødested med grønne områder vil dette udsyn blive væsentligt forskønnet og blive mere livligt og spændende at se på.
Udsynet for beboerne i parcelhuskvarteret mod øst vurderes ikke at blive væsentlig forringet af de to højhuse. I forvejen har beboerne udsyn til højhuset Rebæk Søpark 3 og til den østlige del af butikscenterfacaden.
Udsynet for beboerne i etageboligerne mod syd vurderes ikke at blive væsentligt berørt, idet deres vinduer og altaner vender væk fra ejendommen.
Det nærmeste rekreative område er ved Rebæk Sø ca. 300 meter syd for ejendommen, og udsynet herfra vurderes umiddelbart ikke at blive væsentligt skæmmet af højhusene, da der i forvejen ligger etageboligbebyggelse i området mellem de nye højhuse og Rebæk Sø.
Skyggeeffekter fra højhusene vil i væsentlighed forekomme i eftermiddags- og aftentimerne, hvor der delvis vil falde skygger på villakvarteret mod øst. På dette tidspunkt er der i forvejen skyggeeffekter fra de eksisterende etagebebyggelser i området til de nærmeste villaer.
Høring blandt alle Hvidovreborgere
- Hvad sker der så nu?
- Politisk har et flertal sagt ja til, at der må arbejdes videre med de forskellige problemstillinger omkring højhusene. Dette arbejde vil givet munde ud i et forslag til lokalplan.
Dette forslag vil blive sendt ud til høring blandt alle Hvidovreborgere, og de indvendinger eller ændringsforslag, der så måtte komme fra borgerne, vil blive politisk behandlet. De kan også føre til ændringer i forhold til det endelige lokalplanforslag.
For at projektet skal kunne realiseres, er der som beskrevet endnu lang vej, og det eneste, der endnu er sagt ja til er, at der arbejdes videre med planen, slutter Hvidovres borgmester.
Bold added by me

Basically, what it says is that because the area is run down and boring, they want to build two slender highrises of up to 25 stories each as part of a larger project. No real plans yet, though. And they seem to worry a lot about how it's going to destroy the view for those already living in the existing highrise =/
Anyway, I'd say, the fact that there already is a highrise in the area makes it more likely to happen, but there's still a long way to go

AND

On rodovreavis.dk they have a poll with the question "Is it a good idea to build two towers of nine and twelve stories on top Rødovre Station Centre (a strip mall by the station, really run down). So far 100% yes, 0% no. 853 votes in total :eek: Vote here: http://www.rodovreavis.dk/index.php?id=7995

Nice find Starfish!

I doubt that they will be able to rise above the commieblock level for these projects though. Does anyone have pictures of the area?

Is this it?

^^ The 2 red highrises you see on the 2nd photo, are the "famous" Rødovre highrises, which are gonne be torn down in the beginning of next year.

I have some old photos of all the highrises in the area at home, but not sure they'll add anything.

Knilaus: Indeed it is that area. The 25 storey towers would be located, I imagine, on the site south of the rail between the road and the highrise to the right, while the 9 and 12 storey buildings would be built on top of the rectangular building directly north of the rail (with the white stripe in the middle).
Btw, I think you're right, and they're probably going to be overshadowed by the commie blocks surrounding them anyway, but at least we can hope for something with a nice design. Maybe even (God forbid!) a glass facade! :D

I found this 4 year old photo in my archive, are the two 25 storey buildings supposed to be close to this one (the current "Rebæk Søpark")?

http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/skyscrapercity/raebaeksoepark.jpg

Yes, the mall is attached to the lower floor of that building and the two towers are supposed to be close to the mall (as seen in the satelite pic, the mall extends out on the other side of the building). I really hope they come up with something good and that the residents in the area won't complain too much (let me dream!) :D

Today "Ringkøbing Amts Dagblad" writes about a 50 meter and 17 storey building in Ringkøbing. Ringkøbing Boligselskab have had a proposal made by Arkiktektfirmaet Bay-Jørgensen, but it seems it is more a thing to create debate, than an actual proposal. Therefore I'm not adding it to post one...And I also have a very hard time seeing this happen in Ringkøbing...ever (population in town is only 9496). Here's (http://www.ringkoebing-amts-dagblad.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070526/RD_SKJERN/105260380/1040/RINGKJOBING) the article in the newspaper.

Again, just a vision, not really anything I see have a chance of going up.

EDIT: I added it anyway, with a very low % in my "Chance meter" though...

^^

Nice design... Let's hope they go for it.

Might just be a vision, but that sure is an interesting design. Reminds me of The Battery project in Copenhagen on a smaller scale

whooo that's quite something! holding my fingers crossed for such building!

Very interesting project but at the same time it does not "sit" well IMHO.

Like I wrote, I don't belive one second that this will ever be a reality. We're talking Ringkøbing! A Danish town where the tallest building is 3 stories or so, it's very old, and a place I would think has a bigger % of NIMBY'S than any other place in the country.

You're right, Borgmester Christiansens gade isn't mentioned anywhere, but a different adress. But it's the same place, if you look at then renderings. It's the place where the Shell gasstation is placed now.

Okay, thanx for the info. From the renderings it is quite clear that it's the same location. I've added this:

Krystallerne (Previously Borgmester Christiansens Gade 51-55)

----------
I was looking for larger renderings at the schmidt hammer lassen website, but didn't find anything about it. I did find the new Nykredit expansion project though, which is called "Krystallen". Odd with new projects, not that far from each other, same architect and very similar names...

I just found a night rendering of the proposed Randers tower, and added it next to the day one we already had. I didn't notice the tree/green part at the top on the day rendering, but it's quite clear on the night one. Looks pretty nice: :)

The trees behind the area is where Hotel Scandic is located. (second pic.)
I took some photos (with my mobile phone) of the area some days ago. Here you can see what it looks like:
http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2667/thorsmallvd7.jpg

Is the new tower going to be at the same spot as the silo?

And, have you seen anything about a height of the tower? I was looking for the new localplan, but it looks like it hasn't been made yet.

And, have you seen anything about a height of the tower? I was looking for the new localplan, but it looks like it hasn't been made yet.

Haven't been paying much attention to the project lately.
Actually I thought the Tower was suposed to be centered with the Østervold axe. Which the rendering you are showing dosn't confirm. Take a look at the chemney in the renderings and on my photos... It seems like it's the same location as the silo then, which is east of the Østervold axis.

I went through all the projects and found something to change:

WTC Copenhagen has been replaced by copenhagen towers. The design is not finished yet. The architects will be Dissing+Weitling and Foster+Partners.

http://www.copenhagentowers.dk/flash/download/English_22_02_07.pdf

Horisonten and City Husene are finished and Ørestadshuset is UC.

Thank you, I have corrected those now. Actually Copenhagen Towers shouldn't even be on the list, since it's only for buildings with a design, but I'll make an exception since it used to have one (like I did for a few other buildings).

Does anyone know if the 3 residential buildings in Vallensbæk are completed now? Plogger maybe?

It seems like they are completed on the outside but Im not shure if all three are ready for moving in. However they have started to sell and rent out the apartments. http://www.essexparkvallensbaek.dk/

The 12 storey "Queens Corner" (Working title) was up for final approval tonight at the city council here in Herning. No idea if it got the approvel, yet, though a few weeks ago the local paper wrote it was more or less a fomality. I cross my fingers...

^^ I'll join you in the fingercrossing effort :)

Seems that the planning process of this project has gone quite fast compared with the slow progress of DGI-Byen.

Yes it's has been quite fast, altough it could have been even faster. The localplan hearing ended in the middle of January, and then there was nothing about it until beginning of May. Only very minor changes from the original plan, so I don't see why that needs to take alomost 4 months.

The big reason why the DGI project takes so long, I guess, is that many different parts are involved in it.The municipality itself throughs in some 150 million dkr to finance the DGI part, the consortium of investors that builds the highrise and others things, an operator of the hotel, financing of a healthcenter and a lot of other things to sort out. But hopefully they'll start diggin' soon.

All this being said, the municipalities (all over the country) seems to be extremly busy after the reform, so it's understandable things take a little extra time. And there's also a bunch of other localplan underway here for other projects, which of course also takes time. :)

... But hopefully they'll start diggin' soon.
Crossing my fingers for that as well :)

Lots of projects arround, but so little actual construction... Hopefully the Bella Center hotel will start soon. The final approval is in place, so nothing is stopping them now...

It got the approval. :) Now they better start building soon...according to the KPC boss, it could be already after a summerholiday.

Other good news, not highrise related though. Construction of Steven Holl's 150 million dkr "Herning Center of the Arts" starts next monday. :)

It looks like thumb's down for the highrise on Gasværksvej in Aalborg:

Apparently, the city prefers its highrises directly on the banks of the fjord.

/\ Good find, but a shame.

I moved it to the cancelled projects...

Two new highrises propossed in Århus.
According to this (http://www.aarhus.dk/aa/portal/borger/s_nyheder/indhold?articleId=31044&_refresh=true#) article, the planned 85 m Ketner building will get new and tall neighbours.
The project has 2 towers where the tallest is 100 m/29 floors, and the lower 50 m/14 floors. Still no design made puplic.

Go Århus.... :)

/\ It was even on DR text tv last night. :)

Looks like Ketner and the new buildings will be very close which is good, but it'll be quite far from "downtown". I wish they went for one big highrise cluster, instead of spreading them all over the city, but I guesss that wont happen. Looking forward to see the rendering of the new towers.

I see on the Arkitekthuset (http://www.arkitekthuset.dk) website (the ones behind the Ketner Building in Århus), that they are preparing a 40 storey residential building, again "somewhere" in Jutland. Plans will be announved in late 07. I'm guessing Århus again....though I hope for somewhere else. :D

Very interesting! I'll be guessing AND hoping for Århus. Maybe a "gap filler" somewhere in the Centre to start making a skyline.. :) That Ketner building is certainly also looking good! The skyline in West Århus is changing for the better!

damn Århus (and maybe somewhere else in Jutland) are going crazy these days...great!:)

/\ The "original plan" was to have highrise related news/information here and more general contruction news in the "local" threads. Thta was atleast the plan with this and the copenhagen thread. I think that's a fine way to to it.

A plan for the area around the station in Vallensbæk, south of Copenhagen, has been revealed.
It includes a 16 story highrise.

The highrise look much better than the usual commieblocks in his area, hope the nimbys dosent kill it:-(

Here ia a link to our local newspaper, with an article and a rendering:

/\ That is not bad at all. And far from the "usual" boxy residential highrise. I'll cross my fingers...

Here's what I added:

Vallensbæk Stationstorv
16 floors
Residential
Proposed
Architect: Unknown
Will it be build? - My guess: 60 % chance

Some not so good news: The proposed Horsens highrise are having some problems. Looks like Kulturarvsstyrelsen are trying to kill the proposal, because it is supposed to be right next to an old building of some kind. A bit about it here (http://www.horsensfolkeblad.dk/Default.asp?artikelid=26657) from Horsens Folkeblad.

I think the Vallensbæk project is drawn by the architectfirm AK83
It looks like the same project:

By the way; The three dark buildings, in the backgrown to the right, in the rendering above, are the just finished residentals "Essex Park" in Vallensbæk.
