Aarhus Docklands (Danish: Aarhus Ø) is a construction project and a new neighbourhood of Aarhus, Denmark. In coming years the project will convert the former container port, Nordhavn (lit.: North Docks) to a new residential and commercial area, consisting of several high rise buildings of modern architectural designs, such as:
- Light House
- Isbjerget, by JDS Architects and CEBRA
- Z house, by Bjarke Ingels Group
- Grundfos Collegium
One of the biggest projects is the 142 meter tall Light House building, future tallest building in Denmark. Isbjerget (The Iceberg) won the 2013 MIPIM Awards.
The area will equal the size of Trøjborg neighbourhood, with a view of the Aarhus Bay and a short distance to the inner city.
The area should in the end consist of approx. 700,000 m² of floorage for both residential and comercial; purposes. This is a major step for the city and is a ground-breaking city development project, which will attract international attention.[citation needed]
