Read the bifurcation

Copenhagen's broad Class A index reads 7.6% vacancy and trends flat. That headline masks a real bifurcation — trophy product (Indre By (CBD)) is structurally tight; older Class A and Class B carry the long tail. Cycle decisions should be made at the submarket and tier level, not at the headline.

Time your decision
