Hyllie:

Hyllie and its planned new district Hyllievång, close to Öresundsbron in southwest Malmö, has a lot of large projects under construction. Since it is just about 15 minutes from Denmark by train from here, the area has a good potential. In Hyllievång, Malmö Arena, the new hockey and concert arena, opened in 2008 until the once so lonely Hyllie Vattentorn from 1973. The area was just a field as late a s in the 1990s, but now there is a new city tunnel station, "Minuten", that connects Malmö with Copenhagen, Emporia, Scandinavia's 2nd largest shopping mall (opened 2012) with about 220 stores and extravagant design with a curved bronze glass exterior, and the skyscraper complex Point Hyllie is under construction in the area (18 to 29 floors), completed in 2019, that consist of the 110 m tall The Point and Quality Hotel View. There is also a another highrise hotel, Malmö Arena Hotel, and since 2019 a 10-storey Flatiron building in glass. Wide avenues - Hyllie Boulevard is the main one, rocks, a botanical garden and a theme park are being planned in the area. Malmömässan, Malmö's Exhibition and Convention Center, was inaugurated in 2012, it has an area of 20,000 m². Several modern residential buildings and office buildings have been built in Hyllie lately, or are under construction.

Point Hyllie complex: The Point (27 floors, 110m, completed 2019) and Quality Hotel View (18 floors, completed 2017).

Malmö Arena and Hyllie Vattentorn.

Hyllie Vattentorn, the 62m high water tower from 1973 used to have a coffee shop and an observation deck above the four pillars, but it was closed.

Hyllie Vattentorn has been renovated.

Many people think it looks like an UFO, especially at nights when it is shining with a cool strong blue light. Sadly, as you can see, the structure needs a renovation.
This is close to the site were the very tall skyscrapers Scandinavian Tower and Malmö Tower were supposed to be built, but was cancelled.

The Gate, Peab's new HQ, completed in 2019. Here at a dramatic spring sunset.

Malmö Arena, is the huge new arena for events like hockey, other sports and concerts. It was completed in 2009 (but the picture is from 2010).
It can take 12-14 000 visitors and is located just next to the water tower.

There was an exhibition about the area inside Malmö Arena. This is a model of then (2010) future Hyllievång, now (2020) reality.

Hyllie Vattentorn was completely alone in the field in the beginning of the 2000s.

Hyllie station with the artwork “Minuten” above. It is named Minuten because it takes a minute for the light effect to rotate around the circular roof.

The entrance to the new Hyllie Citytunnel station, called "Minuten"because there is a lot that rotates the structure in just a minute. It is the last stop before Denmark. After Hyllie, the train passes above Öresund at the bridge and then reaches the station underneath Copenhagen Airport. This photo is from 2014.

Malmömässan was built in 2012 to replace the old exhibition center in Västra Hamnen. In my opinion a pretty dull design...

Klipporna ""the Rocks", a new office building complex with diagonal angles and green roofs, housing offices of companies like Skanska, Ikano and Siemens.

Hyllie Boulevard is the new boulevard that is built in the middle of the new neighbourhood.

Emporia

Emporia is Scandinavia's second largest shopping mall, and was the largest upon completion in 2012 (Mall of Scandinavia in Stockholm is now larger). It is situated opposite Malmö Arena in Hyllie the southwest outskirts of Malmö. It has about 220 stores, including two large supermarkets, restaurants and some international store brands. The architecture, designed by Gert Wingårdh's famous studio, is spectacular with unusual colours and shapes; yellow, blue and red The building has totally six floors, of which three floors of stores. The basement floor is located at a hill, so it has an own entrance ot the parking lot. The Emporia shopping center was inaugurated autumn 2012. You can find 3 atriums with waterfall, trees and glass.

And there is a roof garden on top of the building, where you can watch views over Malmö, Öresundsbron and Denmark! Website: http://www.emporia.se

The main exterior of Emporia towards Hyllie Boulevard and Hyllie Torg (square) is consisting of amber coloured glass in an almost organic shape. It resembles architecture that more likely could be found in Dubai then Malmö. The mall occupies 93 000 m².

The large parking garage of Emporia has windows and fancy colours and a ramp that "hangs" in the air, making the appearance that the cars disappear in the sky!
