The BIG HUGE Copenhagen Ørestad Update Thread

[NorthStar77]

This is the sort of urban planning I like! Dense, with wide avenues with lots of trees, and nice backyards. Superb!!

Of course, a few taller towers would make it even better

Thanks for the map Kaneda. So Ørestad south is also called Vestamager?

@ Copenhagenjazz
I saw the model they have in Ørestad (The Ørestad Company is in the KLP offivebuilding at Arne Jacobsens Alle), where the new district were added. So I searched the city website (Khb kommune) and found it there...

@ Kaneda
Sure is right about the indoor arena. I think it is more likely though, that it will be build either next to Parken Stadium or next to Bella Center (also in Ørestad)

@ NorthStar77
Yes. Vestamager is actually the correct name. That's aslo the name of the metrostation next to this area. But Ørestad South makes more sense and Vestamager is a bit confusing as a name, since the overall area where Ørestad (all of it) is located also is called Vestamager.

Hello!

Any news on when they will start building stage 2 of Field's?? Just can't wait to see the final result. Or does anybody have any infomation on what the next high rise building/projekt in Ørestaden will be??

[_tictac_]

Hey Trigga, welcome to the SSC forums...hope you'll have a great time while being here!
Something tells me you're danish, am I right?

[Trigga]

Thanx, yes I'm danish :-)´- Just haven't edited my profile big time yet!

[Kaneda]

Welcome to the forum Trigga! Great to see a new dane here, hope you'll stick around!

I've heard that the nd stage of Fields will start in late 2004 or 2005, and there is also another highrise for 2005. Maybe mlm or Tournesol knows more.

Also the 12 floor V-Huset is U/C now.

Hey and welcome to the forum Trigga!

[tournesol]

Welcome in the forum, Trigga

I'm affraid I can't give you much more info than you've allready seen. I haven't seen any official date for Fields stage 2 to go ahead.
And for the next highrise (if you refer to the 20 floor towers, and not the 12 floor residentials) then Ørestad House is most likely to be the next, but they are probably not going to start untill they have found tenants for atleast half of the building.
Here's the pictures of it:

Welcome to the forum Trigga

Wow, very cool with all the new towers proposed for the next Ørestad stage Unfortunately I can't follow it very closely right now since I don't have internet connection in my new appartment yet...Grrrr. Well, I'll be back soon

[LoveCPH]

Hejsa.. Jeg har lige været i Fields her i mandags. Der er en kanon udsigt fra metroen må jeg sige.

Det der V.hus som er under konstruktion nu, ser meget mindre ud end jeg havde forventet. Det nogle virkelige spændende byggerier de har i gang i langs metroen.
Det squ også flot at de har brolagt vejene med granit, kanon lækkert. Ellers synes jeg det er det værd.

*keels over*
Mind if I drop by to see how Orestadt thread is doing? It's been a while since my last post here and the thread has changed quite a lot since then! Excellent pictures, wealth of information and exciting new projects, this thread has it all. Tietgenkollegiet is probably my personal favourite of all these new buildings, but not a single one of them was butt-ugly. No wonder they say that Danish architecture is probably the best in northern Europe. Keep up the good work, guys. I'll try to follow the thread more regularily in the future.

[mlm]

Just though I might find something new about Ørestad to keep this old thread alive

Not that I have seem much building news in a long time, but I did hear something today. They are planning a new Arena next to the Bella Center exhibition centre (which is pretty much right in the middle of Ørestaden) with a capacity of some 12.000-15.000. They will be ready with more news on this Arena proposal in a few months.

Now I just hope for some news about the five unbuilt 20 storey buildings soon, or atleast one or two of them

Good of you to pull this thread back up, mlm! Just love your new avatar btw.

What would make me at least as happy as hearing news about progress at the Oerestad site, though, would be news from tournesol.

[mlm]

Yeah, that is really weird. I wrote him a private message some days ago but still no sign of him

[Oberleutnant]

His last message is from May . . . does any of you have his cellphone number or email addy?

Nope, I never got the e-mail address. It's really strange.

[Swede]

Yeah, where did he go?
Hope he's ok.

[tournesol]

Hi again everybody.
Sorry if I got some of you concerned. I never planned to stay away this long, otherwise I would have mentioned it.
Just a result of various circumstances, mostly though the fact that it was summer.
So - to get this thread back to business I'll be posting a Ørestad Update shortly...

[tournesol]

Here's the latest from the Ørestad development. Still - unfortunately - without some big (tall) news,
but atleast there's quite a lot of construction activity in the 'not-so-tall' category.

Ørestad North is still the place with the most activity.
Here's the look of the 'skyline' when appoaching it from the west, under the metroline:


The circular Tietgen Student Residential is quite far now:


A pano of the whole area seen from the south. In the foreground the new koncert hall designed by Jean Nouvell is starting to go above ground.


A closer look. Tietgen behind Karen Blixen Parken:



Now moving south to Ørestad City. Not that much going on at the moment, but it won't be long before it will be as busy as Ørestad North.
First a look at "M-huset". In earlier posts it has been mentioned that it was "V-huset", but it turns out that it is the smaller "M-huset" that we're seeing:




The taller "V-huset" is also u/c, as seen in this picture in front of "M-huset"
The Ørestad Canal, with the northbound metro line standing in it, is now completed in this part.


Next to the KLP building, the Parkhusene Residentials is now U/C.




Just behind it, another 12 floor residential project is soon to start...


A look along Arne Jacobsens Alle.


Finally a look from the metrostation in front of the Ferring Tower looking north.
"M-huset" to the right, and Ørestad North in the distance:

Welcome back tournesol

Great update and photos, I just love all the cranes in Ørestad north. I was there myself about a month ago and it really looks awesome. The Karen Blixen Parken buildings have also turned out quite nice if you ask me, much better than we could expect from the renderings.

I was also sure it was "V-Huset" that was under construction, and quite surprised it isn't. But good to hear that one also is going up now
