The office building, located in the Carlsberg City District in the heart of Copenhagen, is now sold in a distinctive transaction. The Property is a historical listed red building from 1883 and is also referred to as ‘Rød Lagerbygning’ (‘Red Warehouse’). It is being developed by CapMan and Revco and comprises 9,870 sq m in total. The building is currently undergoing a transformation from its original use as a warehouse and workshop through the 20th century to a modern office building while maintaining the industrial expression.
Peter Gill, Partner and Head of CapMan Real Estate Denmark, says that “We are very satisfied with the sale of this highly attractive property on the Danish real estate market. The refurbishment is progressing well, and the building is characterised by the original rustic industrial expression combined with a modern look and functionalities in a unique combination, that captures the atmosphere of the entire area. We had a great deal of tenant interest in the building and recently signed a long-term lease with Boston Consulting Group” .
The buyer is the German family-owned THI Investments. Director Florian Geistmann from THI Investments is delighted about this new asset saying that “It all comes together with the work-live-play of the location, the quality of the asset and the tenant occupying the entire property from 2023. We look forward to the continued collaboration with CapMan and Revco”
