The project consists of five separate land plots, acquired from Rødovre Municipality with approx. 500 residential apartments and retail units to be developed. The properties are expected to be constructed in three phases. They will be constructed by renowned family-owned construction company A. Enggaard A/S, who will also undertake the construction of a new Civic Center next to Rødovre City Hall.

“This project has been under active planning for the past 18 months, and we are pleased to now initiate the development of the first two land plots together with PensionDanmark, Rødovre Municipality and A. Enggaard A/S. We see this as the most attractive development area in Rødovre Municipality given its ideal location near Damhussøen, Rødovre Centrum and Rødovre City Hall. This is an opportunity to complete the transformation of the Gartnerbyen area into a vibrant and attractive new residential neighborhood which will also benefit from directly overlooking a new green park and green promenade that will connect the whole neighborhood,” says Hasse Wulff, Head of Transactions at CapMan Real Estate Denmark.

Gartnerbyen is evolving into a vibrant, green neighbourhood with inviting recreational spaces and an attractive urban environment featuring cafés and shops. We are excited to help expand this unique area in Rødovre with new homes, where community and urban life is already beginning to take shape. Over many years, PensionDanmark has built strong expertise in developing high‑quality residential areas that create long‑term value for both local communities and our members’ pension saving,” says Torben Modvig, director of real estate at PensionDanmark.

Currently, the area consists mainly of older light industrial buildings and office properties. Over the coming years, the team together with A. Enggaard will lead the planning and transformation of the site into a modern residential neighborhood with recreational areas and high-quality public spaces, including cafés and local amenities. Adjacent to the development, Rødovre’s upcoming municipal Civic Center will serve as the municipality’s new administrative hub, bringing key public services closer to residents and strengthening the area’s connectivity.

The development is designed to support long-term sustainability, with the objective of aligning the project with EU Taxonomy criteria (7.1).

The transaction marks the first joint-venture between CapMan Real Estate and PensionDanmark.
