Veidekke ASA : Hoffmann takes over construction of Denmarks largest outlet centre
Copenhagen Designer Outlets will be Denmark's largest outlet centre on completion in October 2014. Veidekke's Danish subsidiary Hoffmann is the new main contractor following the liquidation of E. Pihl & Søn in August 2013, and the contract is valued at DKK 146 million excluding VAT.
The centre's ambition is recognized brands, high quality and a great shopping experience. Danica Ejendomme is the principal, and Hoffmann is also building Frederiksberg Centret for the same principal.
"Copenhagen is getting its very own designer outlet centre, just outside the capital, like all the other capital cities have. It is very exciting," says Hoffman's Managing Director, Torben Bjørk Nielsen.
Since August, the construction of Denmark's largest outlet centre has been threatened by E. Pihl & Søn's liquidation, but now work has started up again with Hoffmann as main contractor.
The contract's total is DKK 146 million excluding VAT, and the project includes establishing around 80 shops and common areas in existing premises. Production started in mid-October 2013 and will be handed over in October 2014.
