Kaktus Towers (also known as Kaktustårnene in Danish) is a high-rise residential complex in Copenhagen, Denmark. Constructed between 2019 and 2022, the two towers feature rotated floor plates, which causes the buildings to resemble cacti, hence the name of the complex. The taller tower is 74 metres (242 ft) tall and has 23 storeys, while the shorter tower is 59 metres (193 ft) tall and has 18 storeys. The complex was designed by Danish architectural firm Bjark Ingels Group after having designed and built three almost similar, but smaller, towers in Esbjerg for the A Place To project which opened as student accommodation and hotel in 2021 The towers are located close to Dybbølsbro railway station and has nearly 500 apartments.

Kødbyen

Kødbyen (lit. 'the meat-town'; also known as the Meat District or Meatpacking District, after the New York Meatpacking District) is a district of Vesterbro in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is situated between the railway lines going into Copenhagen Central Station and Sønder Boulevard. The district consists of three separate areas, referred to as the White, Grey and Brown Kødby for the dominant colour of their buildings. The brown part (Den brune Kødby) is the oldest area, closest to the Central Station, and dating from 1883. It has since c. 2000 been changed into a new creative cluster with galleries, art cafés, nightlife and small creative businesses like studios and architecture firms in the historical buildings. It is also home to DGI-byen, a sports, swimming and conference complex, and the exhibition hall Øksnehallen, originally a stabling place for 1,600 cattle before slaughtering. The newer white area (Den hvide Kødby) is a 400 × 600 m enclave of white modernistic structures, built in 1934 to the design of city architect Poul Holsøe. The area is listed for conservation and is still serving its original purpose of housing businesses relating to the meat industry, such as the Inco cash and carry wholesale warehouse for the catering business and the Copenhagen Hospitality College. A municipal master plan aims at creating a mixed-use area, encouraging cultural, design, and gastronomy businesses to settle there, while retaining the meat industry.
