A year from today, DLA Piper is at Østerport II
Next summer, in 2020, DLA Piper’s Copenhagen office will take in the newly constructed Østerport II - these premises will embrace DLA Piper’s continuing development as a modern global law firm. This move is part of our wish for new contemporary facilities, providing flexible opportunities for future growth and ensuring that we are still located in the heart of Copenhagen.
Still under construction next to Østerport railway station, the Østerport II building exemplifies an office building of the future, and its superb location allows for unique views of Copenhagen from all floors. Designed by the Danish architecture firm KHR Arkitekter, the building is a new construction of the old building adjacent to Østerport station, adding an additional 13,600 sqm., of which approx. 8,300 sqm. constitute the top three floors rented to DLA Piper.
”With this move to Østerport II, we’ll get a physical setting that supports our strategy and fulfils our wish for a central location. Here, we can further develop our business in up-to-date premises in a way that supports modern forms of collaboration together with our clients and across our areas of expertise”, says Martin Lavesen, Managing Partner in DLA Piper Denmark.
The move of DLA Piper’s office in Copenhagen from Raadhuspladsen to Østerport II introduces a new physical environment for our 220 staff members and offers unique opportunities for innovation in terms of functions and solutions and for developing new forms of collaboration across our firm.
”The idea of the building is to create an up-to-date workplace where the everyday life is reflected in the surroundings, and where the amenity value of the surroundings is to everybody’s delight during a working day. Focus is on knowledge sharing and openness, and irrespective of your place of work,you’ll have a unique view”, says CEO of the architecture firm Matter by Brix, Lene Damsbo Brix, who has assisted DLA Piper Denmark during the process.
With locations at Østerport II in Copenhagen and at Dokk1 in Aarhus, DLA Piper cements its position as a global law firm and a modern knowledge house in Denmark’s two largest cities. The move to Østerport II will also ensure a joint brand profile for the buildings from where DLA Piper runs its business activities in Denmark.
