Jesper har købt ikonisk vandtårn: - Det er lidt skørt.

Jesper Carstensen er manden, der har købt det ikoniske vandtårn i Korsør kendt som Kindtanden. Han har flere idéer i ærmet.

200.000 kroner.

Så meget har Jesper Carstensen betalt for Korsørs måske bedste udsigt. Han er den nye ejer af byens ikoniske vandtårn kendt som Kindtanden.

Jeg tænker, det er lidt skørt

- Jeg tænker, det er lidt skørt. Men jeg tænker også, det kunne være rigtigt spændende, hvis det lykkes at bygge et eller andet, så man kan bruge det her oppe, siger den nyudnævnte vandtårnejer.

Han har købt vandtårnet via sit firma J.C. Ejendomsinvest.

Konkurrerende bud på én krone
Vandtårnet med adressen Fjordvænget 2B blev sat til salg i slutningen af 2018. I april var der så frist for bud på det 30 meter høje tårn.

Udover Jesper Carstensens bud modtog kommunen ét andet – på en enkelt krone. Buddet på 200.000 kroner var altså mere end rigeligt.

- Jeg skulle have budt lidt mindre, ik? Nej, altså jeg synes, at 200.000 er et godt køb, hvis jeg selv skal sige det, siger Jesper Carstensen.

Kindtanden blev indviet tilbage i 1950 og var derefter i virke 30 år efter. Men siden 1980 har tanken i tanden altså været tom. Den ikoniske status har den dog beholdt.

Fredet vandtank

Vandtårnet er fredet og har ifølge Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen en høj bevaringsværdig. Det betyder også, at Jesper Carstensen ikke bare kan gå i gang med sine planer. Han har ellers flere idéer allerede.

- Hvis kommunen synes, det er i orden, at vi laver lejlighed eller skærer hul til vinduer, så kan det blive rigtigt godt det her, siger han.

Jesper Carsten har for eksempel et håb om at kunne få lavet en ekstra etage inde i vandtanken, der rummer 350 kubikmeter. Han kan nemlig både se en kunstudstilling, mødefaciliteter og beboelse i Kindtanden fremover.

Indtil nu har det været muligt at komme op i vandtårnet og se solnedgangen over Storebælt. Onsdag kan det dog være sidste gang – i hvert fald i denne omgang. Kindtanden skal nemlig males hvid – som en tand jo er.

Derefter går ansøgningsprocessen i gang for Jesper Carstensen, der dog ikke udelukker, at vandtårnet kan være åbent for offentligheden.

- Jeg er også meget åben for, at folk kan blive ved med at følge med i det og komme op og se udsigten også, hvis de ønsker det, lyder det.

English: Jesper has bought the water tower cheek tooth - in operation from 1950-1980 - for DKK 200,000 and has several crazy ideas up his sleeve. First of all, the tower has been painted so that it looks great in 2020.

The article from TV2 East:

Jesper has bought an iconic water tower: - It's a little crazy.

Jesper Carstensen is the man who has bought the iconic water tower in Korsør known as Kindtanden. He has several ideas up his sleeve.

200,000 kroner.

Jesper Carstensen has paid so much for Korsør's perhaps best view. He is the new owner of the city's iconic water tower known as the Cheek Tooth.

I think it's a little crazy

- I think it's a little crazy. But I also think it could be really exciting if it succeeds in building something so that you can use it up here, says the newly appointed water tower owner.

He bought the water tower through his company J.C. Real estate investment.

Competitive bid for one krone
The water tower with the address Fjordvænget 2B was put up for sale at the end of 2018. In April, there was a deadline for bidding for the 30 meter high tower.

In addition to Jesper Carstensen's bid, the municipality received one other - for a single kroner. The offer of 200,000 kroner was thus more than ample.

- I should have bid a little less, right? No, so I think 200,000 is a good buy, if I have to say so myself, says Jesper Carstensen.

The molar was inaugurated back in 1950 and was then in effect 30 years later. But since 1980, the tank in the tooth has been empty. However, it has retained its iconic status.

Protected water tank

The water tower is protected and, according to the Palaces and Culture Agency, has a high conservation value. It also means that Jesper Carstensen can not just get started with his plans. He otherwise has several ideas already.

- If the municipality thinks it's okay for us to make an apartment or cut a hole for windows, then this can be really good, he says.

Jesper Carsten, for example, hopes to be able to make an extra floor inside the water tank, which holds 350 cubic meters. He can see an art exhibition, meeting facilities and accommodation in Kindtanden in the future.

Until now, it has been possible to get up in the water tower and watch the sunset over the Great Belt. Wednesday, however, may be the last time - at least this time. The cheek tooth must be painted white - as a tooth is.

Then the application process begins for Jesper Carstensen, who, however, does not rule out that the water tower may be open to the public.

- I am also very open to people being able to keep up with it and come up and see the view too if they want to, it sounds.
