Verdion and Aviva Investors Launch 24,000-Sq.-M. Second Phase at E20 Park Copenhagen
Verdion and Aviva Investors have launched the second phase of development at E20 Park Copenhagen, one of Denmark's largest logistics parks, adding two new warehouse buildings that will provide nearly 24,000 square meters of logistics space for the Greater Copenhagen market. The announcement, made Sept. 24, 2026, follows the full lease-up of the park's first phase and comes as demand for modern logistics space in the region continues to grow. CBRE has been appointed as leasing agent.
Phase-Two Buildings: DC2 and DC6
The second phase introduces two distinct logistics facilities at the 38-hectare park, located directly alongside the E20 motorway approximately 25 minutes south of central Copenhagen.
Unit DC2 will deliver a total of 14,036 square meters — roughly 151,000 square feet — of modern logistics space, including 12,033 square meters of warehousing alongside office accommodation, staff facilities and mezzanine space. The building is designed with flexibility in mind, capable of accommodating either a single occupier or being divided into two smaller, self-contained units.
Unit DC6 will be a standalone logistics facility totaling 9,696 square meters, or approximately 104,350 square feet, with 8,267 square meters of warehousing complemented by prominent office space, staff facilities and a mezzanine level. The configuration is intended to suit occupiers seeking a national or regional headquarters for their operations.
Together, the two buildings represent approximately 23,732 square meters — about 255,500 square feet — of new logistics capacity. Units are available from 7,000 square meters upward. Building permits are already in place, and each unit can be delivered within 12 months of signing following a successful prelease. Both buildings are targeting BREEAM Excellent accreditation.
Additional Capacity Available for Prelease and Built-to-Suit
Beyond the two announced buildings, the park has a further 82,000 square meters — approximately 882,600 square feet — available for prelease or on a built-to-suit basis. Space is offered in sizes from 3,850 square meters upward, providing options for occupiers with specialized requirements or large-scale space needs.
The park's total capacity stands at 150,000 square meters across the full 38-hectare site. More than 40 percent of Denmark's population lives within a one-hour drive of the location, and the site is connected to the surrounding area by cycling routes and bus and S-Train links in addition to its direct motorway access.
First Phase Fully Leased; Demand Drives Expansion
The decision to advance the second phase follows the complete lease-up of E20 Park Copenhagen's first phase, which attracted tenants including Holmris, Drømmeland, Molo, TyreProff and NDI across a range of sectors.
Daniel Carstens, Senior Asset and Commercial Manager at Verdion, said the first phase's performance validated the market opportunity. "This is an important step forward for E20 Park Copenhagen. The success and full leasing of its first phase has already demonstrated the demand for high-quality and future-ready logistics space and secured high profile names across a range of sectors, from Holmris, Drømmeland and Molo to TyreProff and NDI," Carstens said.
"We're now seeing clear and increasing demand for more modern logistics space across Greater Copenhagen. With two new buildings providing almost 24,000 sq m, and plans for a further 82,000 sq m, E20 Park has the capacity to support businesses as they grow and their requirements evolve," he added.
Kasia Tissot, Fund Manager at Aviva Investors, said the expansion reflects broader trends in the Danish logistics market. "We are pleased to extend capacity at E20 Park, reflecting growing demand for warehousing in the region surrounding Copenhagen. Denmark continues to grow as an important and dynamic logistics hub in Continental Europe. We believe developing further facilities at E20, built with occupiers' needs front of mind, will strengthen its credentials and make it relevant further into the future and strengthening its potential to support long term investment outcomes," Tissot said.
Danish Logistics Market Context
The second-phase launch comes against a backdrop of improving occupier fundamentals in Denmark's industrial and logistics sector. Logistics leasing activity rose 8 percent year over year in the first half of 2026, with approximately 269,000 square meters leased in the second quarter alone. The overall industrial and logistics vacancy rate held at 4.39 percent in the second quarter, keeping available supply relatively constrained.
New development completions — around 119,000 square meters in the reported quarter — have remained limited relative to demand, and second-hand space accounted for 77 percent of first-half leasing volume, indicating that occupiers remain selective and that well-located, energy-efficient new facilities carry a competitive advantage. Prime logistics yields in Denmark were reported at 5.00 percent in the second quarter, unchanged from the prior quarter.
Investment transaction volume in Danish industrial and logistics assets reached DKK 2.9 billion in the first half of 2026, down 53 percent from the same period a year earlier, a divergence that helps explain the emphasis on preleasing and built-to-suit delivery as developers seek to reduce speculative risk while meeting occupier demand.
E20 Park's scale, permitted development pipeline and direct motorway access position it to serve both national distribution users and occupiers seeking regional headquarters, with DC6's office-forward configuration specifically targeting the latter segment. The park's sustainability credentials — anchored by the BREEAM Excellent target — are also relevant to institutional occupiers increasingly evaluating energy performance and operating costs alongside headline rent terms.
