Bystævneparken housing development Copenhagen, Digi Mart USA News (Husum, Copenhagen, Denmark): Bystævneparken in Husum has for decades been dominated by several nursing homes and institutions. Copenhagen Municipality has decided to convert the area near the Western Rampart, known as Vestvolden, into a large residential district.
The future Bystævneparken is planned to include up to 680 homes, 250 nursing homes, residential care facilities and two day institutions. The municipality is now taking another step toward the new neighborhood by offering part of the area for sale.
The first tender for building rights for private housing covers approximately 25,000 square meters of floor area, according to a press release issued Tuesday by the municipality’s finance administration.
“We need many more homes for Copenhageners with completely ordinary incomes. I am therefore very pleased that the work to transform Bystævneparken is underway, so that we get a completely new residential area with community, diversity and room for nature,” said Lord Mayor Sisse Marie Welling (SF) in the press release.
Bystævneparken has the potential to accommodate many different housing types, including privately owned homes, cooperative housing and rental apartments in apartment buildings, as well as terraced houses.
