Ours is just a little over 100 years old now, and even back from the start, the building won some prize, i dont know what its called but something like best building made in copenhagen from recycled materials in 1918.
We also had own bathrooms, both toilet and showers, from the start. Most other buildings around here had it installed in the 80s.
And many other buildings also had backhouses that were eventually demolished to make room for common areas, where ours had the foresight to never build one.
Oh, and of the 250 apartments, about 70% are still owned by the same families who came together and built the building. That means that when the laws around pricing in andelsboligforeninger changed, people here chose to keep the old low prices.
“I might be able to become a Millionaire today, but then my 3 children would all need millions each to own a home” has been the consensus around here since then. (a million dkk is about 140.000$)
I am very proud that the families all came together around that decision before my time. Its literally one of the only places in Copenhagen where a normal person can own a home without millions in debt.
