Victoria is a large-scale urban development project that will be developed in phases. The first phase will comprise approximately 1,600 apartments, retail and service premises, three preschools, a school and a sports hall. A large urban neighbourhood park will be created at the heart of Victoria, and the Gömmaren Nature Reserve is also located in close proximity.

At the turn of the month, the Huddinge Municipal Council resolved to adopt the first of the development plans for the major Victoria urban development project in Kungens Kurva. The decision has now become legally binding.

“This is a great milestone for us and for the development of Kungens Kurva. The area will be transformed from a purely retail-focused district into a complete city district with residant, shops, schools and a large urban neighbourhood park. Our ambition is to create a modern and safe district where everything is within easy reach, making it simple and convenient to live and work here,” says Hugo Dammert, regional Head of Property Development at Balder.

The project is being developed by the joint venture company Victoria Kungens Kurva AB, which is co-owned by KF Fastigheter AB and Fastighets AB Balder. In collaboration with Huddinge municipality, the companies have developed the project and the development plan that underpins the area's transformation.

“As Huddinge grows, we need to build complete communities, not just housing. That is why I am pleased that we are now taking the next step towards a new district where children can attend school, families can find a home, and people can meet in parks, at sports facilities and throughout urban life,” says Emil Högberg, Municipal Executive Councillor responsible for urban development in Huddinge.

For the property companies, the decision means that the design and planning phase can now commence. If everything proceeds according to plan, work on site is expected to begin around the turn of 2027/2028. Construction will be carried out in stages, starting with excavation and blasting works. The first apartments are expected to begin construction in 2028, with residents moving in approximately three years later.

“We want to create a district that helps people balance the demands of everyday life and gives them a little more time and freedom. Throughout the planning process, we have therefore focused on ensuring that all the necessities of daily life are close at hand. At the same time, the Gömmaren Nature Reserve offers outstanding recreational opportunities right next to Victoria. It will be a district for every stage of life,” says Helena Liljedahl, CEO of KF Fastigheter.

The next development plan includes additional apartments, commercial premises and preschools. Altogether, Victoria will comprise approximately 3,500 apartments across a variety of tenures.
