(Ørestadsselskabet I/S) was founded March 11, 1993 to manage the growth of the city district. The corporation is owned 55% by Copenhagen municipality
and 45% by the Ministry of Finance
. The development is expected to take 20 to 30 years at a cost of about €175 million, and it is expected that 20,000 people will live in Ørestad, 20,000 will study, and 80,000 people will be employed in the area.
At the beginning of 2008, 53% of the area had been sold.
The winning project of an international architectural competition held in 1994 revealed an overall masterplan for Ørestad, dividing the area into four districts. The Finnish design office APRT and Danish KHR Arkitekter
established a joint-venture and presented a final plan in 1997.
The first office building was completed in 2001. The first residential buildings were completed three years later. Currently, there are more than 3000 flats as well as 192,100 m² of office space in Ørestad. In addition, a total of 13 buildings are under construction.
Ørestad North is the most developed of the four areas of Ørestad. It is developed according to a masterplan by KHR Arkitekter from 1997 around a central "village green
", the Landscape Canal and the north-south-oriented University Canal.
Major institutions in the area include the DR Village, which includes the Copenhagen Concert Hall, and several educational facilities such as the IT University of Copenhagen
and University of Copenhagen
's Southern Campus.There are around 1,000 residential units in Ørestad North, half which are student housing in Tietgenkollegiet
and Bikuben Kollegiet.
created a master plan for the remaining area of Ørestad City, referred to as Ørestad Down Town, located between Field's and Center Boulevard. In 2009, the 709-room Cab Inn Metro Hotel was completed to the design of Libeskind as the first building in this project.
Ørestad City has seen considerable construction of residential buildings since 2003, most of which are centered around Byparken. The most distinctive residential buildings in the area are the VM Houses and Mountain Dwellings
by Bjarke Ingels
and Julien De Smedt
, while another noteworthy building is Ørestad College

hotel highrise, part of the Copenhagen Towers
development, are located just south of the Øresund highway. Both are designed by Dissing + Weitling
. In the southernmost part of Ørestad South the 57,000 km² mixed-use
building The Figure of Eight by Bjarke Ingels Group and the residential building Stævnen by Wilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter are located.
Only eight building sites remain to be built in Ørestad City apart from the so-called Libeskind site situated west and south of Field's
. The masterplan for this 187 000 m² area was revealed in 2006 and suggests a significant all-curved complex consisting of some 11 office buildings including a 704-room Cab Inn Metro hotel and two 20-storey office/hotel buildings. There will be a central square and a partly glass-roofed arcade. Construction began late 2007 and will go on for the next 5–10 years.
The district plan for Ørestad Syd was approved in 2005.
The overall masterplan follows the initial design as seen in the winning proposal of 1997.
Apart from the Copenhagen Towers
complex adjacent to the motorway, two other masterplans for two other complexes have been presented: One by Niels Torp
for Ørestad Business Center and one by KHR arkitekter
for The Hannemannsparken complex. All together these three complexes, situated just south of the motorway, will consist of some 285 000 m² of office space.
Construction of the Copenhagen Towers
started late 2007. Construction of the Ørestad Business Center will begin in 2009.
