Lots of questions that needs to answered before this project can be a reality.
In a previous post Jeppe did answer some of the questions though:
(back when JP decided against being a tenant there):
Just as we haven't heard anything from Havneinvest and the Lighthouse project for a while now.
Indeed, personally, I rather see these guys join forces and make one project become a reality
than seeing them present individual projects that never materializes.
Still, the idea with more offices and apartments in this area does seem pretty obvious (in the long run)!
(And, as I never bought Havneinvests arguments about all apartments needing balconies. I.e. no such things
on the Turning Torso in Malmoe - I don't see why private apartments aren't added to these projects?).
Other killjoys:
Apparently, it is also a problem that the muncipality thinks that certain industries should be
allowed to pollute (more in the future):
Which does seem like a very strange decision, given efforts in recent years
to cut down on pollution - not increasing it.
So, lots of issues to sort out before this project can go U/C.

In a previous post Jeppe did answer some of the questions though:
And, concerning the 16 fl. highrise on EuropaPlads, next door to this project, Asbjørn wrote 2 years agoi Think that developers are starting to find out that there is a huge interest for business offices in that area. I know that the rent is approx double Price if you compare to areas like frichs parken. And no office space is left in filmbyen. The reason is probably that it is both in the core of culture and infrastructure of Aarhus. And that is what everybody wants.
That said i think that de Linde is trying to push this through hoping theres is a demand in 2+years when the building permition can be through.
The funny thing about this is that the municipality has a hard time finding tenants for it's own projects at Dokk1 + Navitas. If they dont permit the highrise some would maybe speculate in or accuse the municipality to play a double role. So that is all very exciting
In regards to "ship" on Aarhus Ø. i think that office spaces will have a hard time moving to Aarhus Ø. Not least because the infrastructure is still poor. They need the boulevard to finish and the extension of the light rail before We see a boom in offices out there IMO.
I totally accept that we build highrises in this inner part of the harbour. it is already both industrial and a pretty tall context. Theres a lot of cranes on app. 100 m. So by urbanising this area we can both add some big city feeling and hopefully bring something back to the human scale.
I think that the quality of the architecture is a bit difficult to see. We need some more detailed pictures. But IMO CF Møller is almost always making very fine architecture..

And we haven't heard anything from that project since way back then...

Can you provide a link to that rendering Rasmus? Or is it this one?
