The University of Copenhagen's Frederiksberg Campus dominates the west side of the street with its large main building from 1895.
When the so-called Demarcation Line was moved from Jagtvej to The Lakes in 1852, he acquired large areas of land, both between the Ladegård Canal and Gammel Kongevej in Frederiksberg and at Blågård in Nørrebro.
He sold off the land in Frederiksberg in lots with a registered contractual term (Danish: servitut), effective until 1925, ensuring that it could only be used for low, private villas.
To the north of the old main building, on the other side of Thorvaldsensvej, is Copenhagen Plant Science Center under construction.
