About Postbyen

Postbyen is designed with a clear purpose: to create the foundations for a more sustainable, healthy, and diverse city life. At its heart lies a green city park—a vibrant passageway where thousands will pass through every day.

This is an urban neighborhood built for people. Car-free at street level, yet with 1,000 underground parking spaces, it balances convenience with a focus on livability.

Postbyen is a truly mixed-use district, blending hotels, workplaces, and rental homes—with future plans for affordable housing and student residences. It’s a neighborhood that embraces variety, energy, and connection.

Already home to Danske Bank’s headquarters and soon to welcome LEGO’s 1,500 creative minds in The Stamp building (from 2027), Postbyen is buzzing with activity. And as new restaurants, shops, and hotels open in the coming years, it will become a destination for both locals and visitors alike.

Close to Tivoli. Close to the Central Station. Close to everything.

100 years of stamps and letters
The Central Post Building, designed by DSB architect Heinrich Wenck, was constructed between 1909 and 1912 for the Danish Post and Telegraph Service. Over the following century, the site expanded with several additional buildings, the latest being the Postal Sorting Terminal, completed in 1979. For more than a hundred years, this area served as the beating heart of Denmark’s postal service—until 2015, when operations were relocated and the grounds were sold to Danica Ejendomme.

As part of the transformation, the historic Central Post Building was reborn as the design hotel Villa Copenhagen.

In 2018, the vision for Postbyen was finalized, and demolition began—making way for a bold new chapter in the city’s story. The first milestone came in 2023 with the completion of Danske Bank’s new headquarters.

The current phase includes the Edyn Hotel, a healthcare center, residential towers with 160 rental apartments, and The Stamp office building, which will welcome LEGO in 2027. The final phase will follow, introducing two additional office buildings, public housing, and student residences—completing the transformation of Postbyen into a modern, mixed-use district rooted in history and looking to the future.
