Aarhus Docklands (Danish: Aarhus Ø) is a new neighbourhood and construction site 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) in the Port of Aarhus, 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.
