Østerfælled Torv

[2] PBU sold the residential share of the project to Schaumann Investment for DKK 1,5 billions in 2006, a transaction which later contributed to the bankruptcy of Roskilde Bank in the light of the financial crisis and the decreasing prices on the housing market.

In January 2012, the apartments were acquired by the Swedish property company Balder for the price of DKK 1.1 billion.

[3] The development is centred on a pedestrianized zone consisting of a large plaza located just inside the old main entrance to the barracks, on the corner of Østerbrogade and Gunner Nu Hansens Plads, and a central axis which extends diagonally into the area.

They are built in red brick like the old buildings but in combination with concrete columns and balconies and window sections in steel and aluminium.

Østerfælled Torv is also home to Krudttønden ("The powder keg"), another cultural venue, which hosts smaller concerts and other shows.
