Copenhagen among top European real estate markets

Danish capital ranked fifth behind Berlin, Hamburg, Dublin and Madrid

The European real estate market is on the rise in terms of investments and the Danish capital is no exception, breaking into the top tier of the Emerging Trends in Real Estate Europe 2016 report (here in English).

Published by the Urban Land Institute in collaboration with consultancy giants PricewaterhouseCoopers, Copenhagen ranked fifth in investment prospects for 2016, just behind top ranked Berlin, Hamburg, Dublin and Madrid.

“Previously considered a distressed market, Copenhagen now appears to be ‘noteworthy’. Denmark has seen the worst and can only go up,” the report found.

“Ranked Number 5 for investment this year, the Danish capital has good dynamics in terms of younger segments of the population with growth potential.”
