The property has historically housed some of the greatest technological minds of our time, including Danish inventor Valdemar Poulsen, who revolutionized wireless telegraphy. Later, IBM, who announced the first commercial computer at the address. The property is poised for an exciting future and has just been put up for public sale.  

The spectacular property is located at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38, one of the most prominent boulevards of Copenhagen. The long boulevard boasts a plethora of classic Copenhagen properties that each in their own way represent part of Copenhagen's history. But as for number 38, the comparison ends here. Behind the elegant facade, the building hides an incredible history with a past that set the stage for some of the greatest and revolutionary achievements of our time.

Prestigious property
The property is exceptional where the original style and senescent soul have been preserved. The property has been restored with a tasteful balance between the historic framework and a modern layout, with immense attention to original details, allowing them to shine through, both internally and externally. 

The property was built in 1904 and was also then a prominent upper-class property. H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38 was home to several musical talents who, over time, achieved high artistic status in Danish cultural history. I.a. the leading composer Charles Theodor Martin Kjerulf, who was chief critic at the newspaper Politiken and known for creating music to Holger Drachmann's songs. And the musical writer Salomon Frederik Levysohn, who conducted performances from the conductor's stand at the Royal Danish Theatre. Not to mention the many wealthy widowers who also lived at the address, living off their private fortune with maids.

"Denmark's Edison" moves in
In the history books, he is known as Valdemar Poulsen. Colloquially, he is known for his invention of the radio, the telephone answering machine, the cassette, the VHS tape, and the floppy disk. In 1911, the property at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38 became the headquarters of one of the largest engineering achievements in history. On the ground floor, where Valdemar had his laboratory, creative inventions took off. First, he invented the telegraphone, which made it possible to record, store and reproduce sound. Later, he made a breakthrough with the arc transmitter, which could transmit speech and music in continuous waves at a fixed frequency. The arc transmitter was used to experiment with spreading news via radio, by which Valdemar made it possible for the radio to make its breakthrough as mass media in Denmark. Valdemar was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics several times and was later elected the creator of the greatest Danish engineering achievement of the 20^th century.

IBM laid the foundation for modern IT systems
In 1950, IT giant IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) moved into the address with three departments. Soon after, they introduced a new data storage technology based on the electromagnetism of former resident Valdemar Poulsen. Today, IBM is a multinational technology and consulting company that provides IT services, hardware, and software to all parts of the world. But in the former times, they occupied the ground floor of the building, where IBM, as virtually the sole supplier to the punch card system market in Denmark, ran their own card printing company.

Google, H.C. Andersen and the Tour de France
On the occasion of Valdemar Poulsen's 149^th birthday in 2018, the internet giant Google, paid tribute to Valdemar on their Danish front page. According to Google, Valdemar was of vital importance to several inventions that later became common household items. And speaking of 'birthdays', in 1955, when H.C. Andersen would have turned 150 years old, it was decided to rename the long boulevard, which was then called Vestre Boulevard, to H.C. Andersens Boulevard. In July 2021, the boulevard will be the opening stage of the Tour de France under the heading 'Grand Départ Copenhagen'. There is no doubt that the property and its location boast a fascinating history of the geniuses who invented some of the greatest technological advances of the era and a future that includes hosting the world's largest bicycle race, one of the biggest sporting events in Danish history.

 - In many ways, H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38 is very special, and it is extremely rare that a property like this is offered for sale, Anders Bengtsson emphasises and elaborates:

- First and foremost, it is a historic building with a central location in the heart of the vibrant city life. In addition, the property offers more than 3,000 square meters, and finally, a potential buyer has endless opportunities to utilise the full potential of the property.

The spectacular property at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38 currently houses the Danish Police Association et al. and is offered in a public sale at an amount in the three-figure million range.

Anders Bengtsson concludes: - We have high expectations for the project and look forward to the reception of the property in the market. There is no doubt that H.C. Andersens Boulevard 38 has an exciting future ahead of it.
