Aarhus Docklands (Danish: Aarhus Ø) is a new neighbourhood and construction project in Aarhus, Denmark.
Beginning in 2007, the Aarhus Dockland is currently a large construction site with many buildings already built as of 2014 and in coming years the project will convert the area and the former container port, Nordhavn (lit.: North Docks) to a whole new residential, educational, commercial and recreational area, consisting of several high rise buildings of modern architectural designs.
Projects
The projects at Aarhus docklands includes:
- Light House. Partly developed.
- Isbjerget, by JDS Architects and CEBRA. Finished.
- Z house, by Bjarke Ingels Group. Under construction.
- Grundfos Kollegiet, a dormitory financed by the Danish company of Grundfos. Finished.
- Navitas Park, a research centre of energy technology. Part of INCUBA Science Park, with education, engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship. Finished.[1]
Isbjerget (The Iceberg) won the 2013 MIPIM property development Awards.
Fully developed, the new neighbourhood is intended to sustain 7,000 residents and 12,000 jobs in an area equalling the size of Trøjborg. Aarhus Docklands offers a view of the Aarhus Bay and there is just a short distance to the inner city.[2]
