Office for rent on Kuglegaardsvej 13, 1434 Copenhagen City Center

We are proud to offer a rare opportunity to establish a business in a unique property with over 300 years of history and an attractive location along the Inderhavnskanalen in Copenhagen Harbor with views of Operaparken, Papirøen, and the life in the canal.

Kuglegårdsvej no. 13-17 is now available for rent from 605 m² up to the full 2,797 m² of the building and is particularly suitable as a headquarters, showroom, and office.

History
The Arsenal at Holmen was designed by architect Philip de Lange and built in 1742 as Denmark's new naval base, intended to send a clear signal of the kingdom's power and strength. The rectangular courtyard between the two main wings and side wings was used for storing cannonballs - hence the name Kuglegården, which has gradually become the common term for the entire Arsenal.

Kuglegården was taken over by the construction company Mogens de Linde from the Defense in 2018 and subsequently renovated as part of a larger transformation of the former military buildings. Several companies have since established themselves in the renovated buildings with offices and showrooms, including Louis Poulsen, Ferm Living, Bolia, Munthe, and Planday, and the area is now internationally known as Copenhagen's "Design District". What was once one of the kingdom's most closed and inaccessible areas is now a vibrant and attractive part of Copenhagen.

The Area
Kuglegården is located as the gateway to Holmen - surrounded by charming canals and harbor buses and a short distance to Kongens Nytorv and Christianshavn. Holmen, with its many preserved defense buildings and green areas, is a popular oasis, especially for creative businesses. Over the past decades, the area has developed into a lively urban environment with a mix of culture, housing, and commerce. Here you will find fashion companies, architectural firms, as well as educational institutions such as the Academy of Fine Arts, the School of Architecture, the Conservatory, and the Film School.

In the vicinity is Operaparken, a green urban space by the harbor, and there is a buzz of activity around the distinctive buildings of Papirøen.

Holmen is easily accessible via the Inderhavnsbroen to Nyhavn and Kongens Nytorv Metro, and via Danneskiold-Samsøes Allé to Christianshavn Metro, which can be reached in about a 10-minute walk. Additionally, bus line 2A stops right at the door, and parking spaces can be rented in the area.

The Property
Between the two main wings facing the water is the King's Gate - the former main entrance to Holmen - adorned with a bust of King Christian 6. The property has a prominent location directly along the Inderhavnskanalen and offers a natural flow of passersby along the waterfront, including visitors heading towards Operaparken, Reffen, and the surrounding urban spaces.

The building is constructed in 3.5 stories with a ground floor and a partially open 1st floor/mezzanine, as well as the 2nd and 3rd floors. It is one of Kuglegården's oldest main wings and originally served as a magazine for the Defense. The history is palpable, and the many stories associated with the place are felt as soon as you step inside. Today, the building has been thoroughly renovated with respect for the original details.

The visible and distinctive wooden beams that stretch through the building testify to the property's special history. As part of the renovation, an elevator, acoustic ceilings, and solid Dinesen plank floors have been installed. The property is built in yellow Flensburg stone with a tiled roof and white-painted windows with muntins. The facades are characterized by rounded archways with pilasters in between, which also contribute to natural light.

The Lease
The lease presents an inviting facade, where the large, rounded windows invite natural light and curious glances inside. The property is suitable as a headquarters, where the company can have a presentable setting. The ground floor offers an impressive ceiling height, created by an open mezzanine on the 1st floor, providing a bright and open spatial sequence. This makes the lease on the ground floor and mezzanine particularly ideal as a showroom, while the other floors are suitable as additional exhibition areas, meeting facilities, and/or offices. The lease also already includes established meeting rooms.

The lease totals 2,797 m² and can be divided into leases from 605 m². The property can be tailored to the individual tenant - either as a complete headquarters or divided as needed.
