Accommodation for the increasing number of students in Copenhagen has been a hot political topic for several years, and by introducing this building, the city provides affordable accommodation and apartments for 700 students.

The new Nordbro-complex right by Nørrebro Station consists of six separate buildings, five of them with six-to-seven floors and spaces in various sizes, as well as a high-rise studio tower of 29 residential storeys. To put it into perspective, the 100-metre-high tower will be 30 metres taller than Rigshospitalet, which has caused a degree of fuss from locals. They are, however, invited to share the magnificent view from above, as the city’s highest viewpoint on the 30th floor is publicly available.
