The neighbourhood is characterized by densely situated apartment buildings, high-rises, and an open public park along the Aarhus River. Architecturally, the area is modern while taking into account a few remaining and listed historic 19th century buildings of the former Ceres Brewery. The height has been kept relatively low, due to the proximity of nearby open-air museum Den Gamle By, and underground carparks have been constructed to save precious space. The Ceres Panorama residential building, completed in 2016, is one of the tallest in the city.
