Historic Waterfront District Gets Major Facelift

The city's oldest commercial harbour, largely unused since container shipping moved to the outer port in 2014, is set for a dramatic transformation.

The plan includes converting three 19th-century warehouses into galleries, restaurants, and co-working spaces while adding a new public swimming pier and waterside promenade.

"We're not erasing history — we're giving it a second chapter," said urban planner Katja Lund. Local businesses will be given priority for the 40 new retail units.
