Ørestad stands out as a new district in Copenhagen for sustainable, innovative and green development with a strong focus on climate adaptation. Today, the district can showcase cutting-edge recycling architecture, where the green transformation in the construction industry dictates new ways of building and completely new styles that develop due to the requirements of sustainable green conversion and upcycling.

Large companies are building their head offices in Ørestad, which has an international outlook. The companies are already entering the history of the smart, sustainable, green and innovative district by locating in Ørestad and are committed to contributing to that development in their new buildings.

At the same time, Ørestad is still a new district in the Danish capital, where life between the houses is lived through a special pioneering spirit, a common creative urge, where local associations and green communities thrive.
