The old banking district in central Copenhagen, including the infamous Laksegade, is being transformed into an exclusive mini-city, with construction now underway. The project, encompassing Dybensgade, Asylgade, Vingårdstræde, and Laksegade, is led by Thylander A/S, KanAm Grund Group, and a German pension fund.

The 50,000 square meter district will feature a mix of shops, restaurants, offices, parking, and a hotel. Laksegade will serve as the mini-city’s main street, featuring a small square located in its curve. A new passage will connect Holmens Kanal to Laksegade. The area will also be enhanced with green trees and new street paving in the old cobblestone streets. The parking garage at Asylgade, formerly reserved for Danske Bank employees, is already open to the public.

The reconstruction of the 16 buildings is currently in progress, with Bremerholm 33 being the first to undergo a facelift. It will receive a new facade and be converted into offices and shops. Danske Bank sold the properties in 2016 and completed the relocation of its employees to a new location in Postbyen in 2024. The project was initially presented in 2017, but faced delays due to changes in ownership.

The district is expected to be completed in 2027.
