Headline Copenhagen rent is 2400 DKK/sqft/yr ($348 USD). Translate your incumbent occupancy cost-per-seat to the same basis using the Occupancy Cost tool. Most cross-border moves underestimate fit-out">fit-out timeline and overestimate density transferability.
Net leases. 5-7 year terms with break options. Free rent of 3-6 months and TI of DKK 800-1,500/sqm typical on a 5-year deal. Use the Lease Term Translator to map terminology before reading the LOI.
Engage a tenant-rep broker, local counsel, an MEP/AV designer with Copenhagen project history, and a project manager who has run a Class A fit-out in this market in the last 24 months.
