Continued from All new Danish highrises

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 for high-rises. As a general rule, the buildings needs to be atleast 35 meters, and if no height is available atleast 12 floors.

Holstebro City Council approved the localplan on February 19, 2008.

Loads of amazing high-rise projects here, Denmark is for sure in the lead in having some of the highest quality high-rise project in S&B nowadays. I hope "The Battery" gets approved/built, its a proposal out of this world!

Det Vredne Tårn and Bella Center Hotel have such a exellent design, world class architecture!

Where exctly is "fyrtårnet" located?

[mlm]

/\ At America Plads. Check the exact location here: Building I

I think it's a quite nice building.

[mlm]

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..

Well that is an old rendering. If you take a look at this page, 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.

[ØlandDK]

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/

[mlm]

/\ 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).

[TORONTOCOPENHAGEN]

Fantastic compilation!

I enjoyed the tour!

[LtBk]

Those are some awesome looking buildings.Go Denmark!

[cphdude]

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....
