The three buildings on Asiatisk Plads at Strandgade 25 were all built by the Danish Asiatic Company during the period known as the Flourishing Trading Period". The semidetached front buildings were built in 1738 and 1739, respectively, by Architect Philip de Lange as offices, and in 1781 as a camouflaged warehouse. The long warehouse behind was built by Royal Master Builder Nicolai Eigtved in 1748-50 in limestone from a local island called Saltholm. The exterior of the front building has not changed significantly since it was built, unlike Eigtved's warehouse, which lost two of its 23 bays to a harbour expansion project in 1918. The Danish Asiatic Company's warehouses was listed in that same year.
