Industriens Pension is now buying the first stage of the new commercial building Byporten, which marks the western entrance to Aarhus. The seller of the properties is the Aarhus-based developer Dansk Erhvervsprojekt, which is in full swing with the construction.

The first stage of the city gate consists of three continuous office towers, which now rise on the border between Aarhus and Tilst by the main access road Viborgvej approx. 6 km from Aarhus city center. The office property will be part of a dynamic business area with good transport connections via the motorway network, the ring road systems and public transport.

The properties will be sustainability certified in the gold category according to the DGNB standard. This means that the construction must live up to high requirements for e.g. environmental sustainability.

“With Byporten, we get a modern multi-user office property with a very visible location on one of the major access roads to Aarhus. The city gate will contribute positively to the development of the area, and we also expect a good and stable return on investment. Since 2019, we have invested more than DKK 2 billion. in Aarhus, and we would like to continue to expand our presence in the city with sustainable quality buildings, says property manager at Industriens Pension, Søren Tang Kristensen.

The office towers will be a total of almost 15,000 m2 spread over 11 floors incl. cellar. As the terrain is high, Byporten will be very visible in the landscape, just as there will be a nice view of Aarhus, especially from the upper floors. Byporten Syd is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022, after which Industriens Pension will take over the turnkey construction.
