60 Carlsberg Properties and Foundations
Carlsberg Properties
Carlsberg Properties handles Carlsberg A/S’
property portfolio, including the development
and building on the approx. 400,000 m 2 former
domicile and plant of Tuborg Breweries overlooking
the sound between Denmark and Sweden
in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen.
At Tuborg Nord, which constitutes almost
half of the extensive area, construction of two
large company domiciles for NCC Danmark and
icl invia with a total floorage of about 22,000 m 2
was completed this year. The last major
company domicile of about 16,000 m 2 , which
will house inter alia Microsoft, is under construction
and completion is expected by the end of
2002. The non-residential part, which covers
about 80% of Tuborg Nord, will then be completed.
During the year, a non-residential area of domicile
buildings with a floorage of about 48,000
m 2 has been sold to the pension insurance
company PKA. In addition, Tuborg’s old mineral
water plant with a floorage of about 9,000 m 2
has now been sold to the Oticon Foundation.
The remaining part of the Tuborg Nord area
will be used for housing construction. The first
phase with construction of 40 high-quality flats
has been completed, and the second phase
with construction of 46 similar flats is expected
to be completed by the end of 2002. The flats
are sold as condominiums. The phase one flats
were sold very quickly, and to a wide extent this
is also the case with phase two. About 100-130
flats still remain before development and construction
of the entire Tuborg Nord area is completed,
and phase three, with construction of
about 50 flats, is expected to start at the beginning
of 2002.
The development of Tuborg Syd got off to a
good start. The plans include the possibility of
constructing about 100,000 m 2 for non-residential
building (including existing, retained property),
about 100,000 m 2 for flats and approx.
25,000 m 2 for public purposes.
It is thus expected that the first domicile construction
with a floorage of about 13,000 m 2 will
be completed in 2002 with a domicile for the accounting
firm (Arthur) Andersen, among others.
Furthermore, a new school of about 7,500 m 2 built
by the local authorities - the school of the future -
is expected to be completed by the start of the
new school term in the summer of 2002.
Additional domicile construction is expected to
commence in 2002.
The Carlsberg Bequest to the Memory
of Brewer J.C. Jacobsen
On 1 October 1938 - 50 years after the Carlsberg
Foundation took over brewer J.C. Jacobsen’s
brewery Gammel Carlsberg (Old Carlsberg) - the
foundation established the Carlsberg Bequest to
the Memory of Brewer J.C. Jacobsen as a tribute
to the foundation’s founder, whose extensive engagement
in society is well-known.
Since its establishment, the trust has granted
about DKK 200m measured in current value to
approx. 6,000 large and small projects within all
branches of society. At present, the trust grants
about DKK 4m annually to about 180 activities in
Denmark.
“Carlsberg’s Research Prize for the Promotion
of Chemistry” of DKK 100,000 was awarded for
the first time this year. The prize is presented as a
tribute to chemical research, and this year it was
awarded to Professor, PhD Mikael Begtrup of the
Royal Danish School of Pharmacy.
The wide range of causes that benefit from the
trust is illustrated by some of the grants awarded
this year:
The yacht club in Noerresundby
DKK 12,000 to purchase a weather station with
anemometer in order to secure safety at sea.
The UN museum,
the former concentration camp at Froeslev
DKK 15,000 to purchase monitors and a slide
projector for the presentation of movies and slides
from the Danish contingents worldwide.
