CeresByen  CeresByen (English: "CeresCity") is a neighbourhood in Midtbyen, a district of the city of Aarhus, Denmark. It comprises the site of the former Ceres Brewery that operated from 1856 until November 2008. The area is being developed for mixed residential and commercial use. The outer edges of CeresByen are defined by the streets "Thorvaldsensgade", "Silkeborgvej", "Dollerupvej" and "Ceres Allé". The area will be characterized by densely situated buildings, high-rises and large park along the Aarhus River. Architecturally the area will be modern while taking into account the proximity of Den Gamle By, the historic 19th century buildings of the Ceres Brewery and the "Ceres Park" along the river. The "Ceres Panorama" residential building, completed in 2016, is one of the tallest in the city. Royal Unibrew closed the Ceres Brewery in 2008 which opened a large tract of land in central Aarhus. The city council elected to rezone the area and re-establish it as a new neighbourhood. The architectural firm Arkitema won the bidding round; construction began in 2013, and by its scheduled completion in 2019, the area will be home to 2000 inhabitants and educational institutions for 5000 students. The first phase was completed in 2015 when the VIA University College campus was completed and in August of the same year the first residents moved into apartment complexes.
