Scanport is a mixed use development on the east coast of Amager, just north of Copenhagen Airport, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Redevelopment

The area, including the small Kastrup Harbour, originally belonged to Kastrup Værk, a porcelain factory and chalk works established by Jacob Fortling in 1742. It was acquired by Skanska Oresund in 1997 and a masterplan for its redevelopment was created by Schmidt hammer lassen. Construction of the first buildings began in 2007.[1]

In 2011, Astellas Pharma and Scandinavian Business Seating established in the area. In June 2013, it was announced that Ferring Pharmaceuticals would relocate its Danish headquarters as well as its global R&D and registration activities to a new building in the area. It will have an area of 30,000 square metres and is expected to be inaugurated in 2016.[2]

Marina

As part of the project, Kastrup Harbour changed its name to Scanport Marina. It will have a water depth of at least 4.5 m.[1]
