- Industriens Pension has revealed that archaeologists have found a burial mound and a house from the Neolithic Age during preparations for its new development in Egedal.

Industriens Pension recently announced that it had entered into an agreement with general contractor HHM for the construction of 171 homes, a daycare centre and a shared activity centre, in the new district of Landskabsbyen. However, since the development is located in an area of ​​historical significance, archaeological investigations have been carried out before construction begins. This has already uncovered a burial mound and a house with 17,000 charred grain remains. Both finds have been listed on the Danish Palaces and Culture Agency's new top 10 list of sensational finds in the past year. Industriens Pension property manager, Søren Tang Kristensen, clarified that despite the find, the development remains on schedule. “We therefore expect to be able to contribute with a new attractive district as planned, while at the same time that the members can look forward to reasonable, long-term returns from their property investment," he stated.
