Car Park

The City of Aarhus, in cooperation with Realdania Byg, is building a large car park at Aarhus Harbour. The car park is built in connection with the new Mediaspace on the south bastion across from Europaplads and the mouth of the river. The car park is placed beneath Mediaspace.

An automatic car park

The car park will be the first automatic car park in Aarhus. It will accommodate approximately 1000 cars and will thus be Europe’s largest automatic car park.

An automatic car park has a range of advantages over a traditional car park. First and foremost, as a driver you avoid having to move around a dark underground parking facility.

Instead you will drop off and collect your car in a pleasant and bright environment with a view of the city and the water. An elevator will transport the car to a space in the basement.

An automatic car park utilises the available room in an optimal way, as each floor of the car park will only be approximately half the height of a traditional parking facility.

Ownership of the car park

Realdania Byg contributes approximately 500 million Danish kroner to the establishment of the car park.

When the car park is completed, ownership is transferred to Realdania Byg, who also assumes responsibility of daily operations. The car park will be run on a commercial basis.

According to plan, the car park will open in late 2014 together with the new Mediaspace.
