Postbyen will have a vibrant urban life with restaurants, cafés, cocktail and wine bars, and shops. Everything will be publicly accessible and will welcome both employees, residents, and guests from early morning ‘till late at night. Common for all actors and offers will be a focus on quality, sustainability, and health, as well as a wish to create a neighbourhood with room for communities and great experiences.

Eat a healthy breakfast with your children at one of Postbyen’s cafés before dropping them off, or meet your friends after work. In The Health Club, you will have access to physical therapists and training facilities, making it easy to book a time slot between meetings, and if you need inspiration at the end of the day, it’s easy to sign up for a class in The Outdoor Club, take a walk in the green surroundings, or pop down to the kayak rental by the harbour for a paddle’n’talk with your colleague.

Central Copenhagen gets a brand-new neighbourhood. With Copenhagen Central Station next door, the area is developed, and the city and water are tied together in a new, green connection with open squares, green oases, and room for a sustainable, healthy, and diverse life – a perfect work/life balance.

A Historic Location in the Middle of Copenhagen

The location of Postbyen is unique and makes the neighbourhood accessible, no matter where you come from and whether you arrive by S-train, Metro, directly from the airport, or by car via the approach road into central Copenhagen.

The area was previously called Postgrunden and has been closed off, working as a postal centre since 1912. When the new neighbourhood is finished in 2027, it will be accessible to all and will ensure a connection between Copenhagen’s Bro districts (Vesterbro, Nørrebro, Østerbro, and Amagerbro) and the sea by Kalvebod Brygge.

Social Responsibility and Sustainability

Social responsibility and sustainability are central to the development of Postbyen.

From the early days of the project, there have been clearly defined goals for the neighbourhood’s social responsibility and sustainability.

Urban Development with a Long Life

We live in a time with huge changes and with an awareness of the way everything we build, design, and consume will echo now and in the future. The intention is to create buildings and a neighbourhood reaching into the future, providing a Copenhagen-style interpretation of modern housing and office buildings in relation to urban development with a long life.

We are building a neighbourhood for Copenhagen as a whole, for more of the good life, for communities, breaks, and an active life. We celebrate initiatives and take responsibility. A simple mission of setting human needs and wishes at the centre of the development of a new neighbourhood while ensuring the least possible CO2 emissions for its future operations and throughout the neighbourhood’s life cycle.

Each building in Postbyen is built with LEED and DGNB certificates. With LEED and DGNB certificates, we work with a holistic approach to sustainability, in which both environmental, social, and economic aspects of sustainability are prioritised in the development of the new neighbourhood. Furthermore, the focus is on reducing CO2 emissions for its future operations and throughout the neighbourhood’s life cycle.

Postbyen’s surroundings are created with a focus on green oases with biodiverse greenery to be used in both summer and winter. Our focus is on improving the area’s biodiversity and micro-climate, as well as creating green oases in the city, benefitting anyone who works in, lives in, or visits the neighbourhood.
