Most of the street is lined with buildings from the 1860s and 1870s that were constructed as part of the redevelopment of the [[Gammelholm]] naval dockyards. It is the only place along Copenhagen's main harbourfront where residential buildings of that age face the water, although older warehouses and other industrial buildings elsewhere have been converted into residential use. The Modernist [[Bank of Denmark]] building is located at the western end of the street.
==History== [[Image:Hafenstrasse, Copenhagen, Denmark.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Havnegade viewed from the water between 1890 and 1900]] The street was created when the [[Royal Danish Navy]] decommissioned its last operations in the area, which used to be a naval shipyard, and it came under urban redevelopment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indenforvoldene.dk/havnegade.html|title=Havnegade|language=Danish|publisher=indenforvoldene.dk|accessdate=2011-10-05|archive-date=2012-04-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424231346/http://www.indenforvoldene.dk/havnegade.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
From about 1960 and until 1999, the street was a hub for tax-free ferries to [[Malmö]] on the other side of the [[Øresund]].
Plans to transform Havnegade into a [[promenade]] were put on hold in October 2008 due to budget cuts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cphx.dk/index.php?id=177010#/177010/|title=PROMENADE-PLANER AFLYST|publisher=Copenhagen X|accessdate=2009-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719121913/http://www.cphx.dk/index.php?id=177010#/177010/|archive-date=2011-07-19|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the spring of 2011 construction of the project finally began and it is expected to be completed in December 2011.
