Troja
At Kämnärsrätten, AF Bostäder is leading one of Sweden’s largest initiatives for long-term sustainable student housing. With Troja – our largest construction launch since the 1960s – the expansion is now complete. This means we have increased the number of student apartments along Kämnärsvägen, halved energy consumption, and created a modern campus environment characterised by comfort, social interaction, and biodiversity.
Since its inception in 2016, the Proto, Sagoeken, Hippocampus, Pireus and Rhodos quarters have been occupied and ready. Anyone strolling or cycling through Kämnärsrätten can already experience a dynamic and social neighbourhood seamlessly integrated with the rest of Lund, thanks in part to Campuskilen – a pedestrian-friendly area with pleasant spaces for outdoor activities and social interaction – meandering through the quarters. Throughout the expansion, we have realized our visions for all aspects of sustainability, from climate calculations, energy efficiency, sound materials, and biodiversity to comfortable homes that provide a conducive study environment and promote physical and mental well-being. Troja will be a lush and beautiful finale with a natural outdoor environment designed to benefit wildlife and insects.

About the new construction project
Troja will cover nearly 12,000 square meters and feature 312 apartments for approximately 500 students, ranging from one-room apartments to apartments for 2-4 friends. The construction will consist of seven buildings spanning 3-7 stories each, collectively forming two protected and welcoming courtyards. The buildings will have rendered façades in varying shades of green, with elements of corrugated metal in silver and gold, giving the neighbourhood a vibrant and distinctive character.
Many of the students will have their own balcony, and most ground-floor apartments will also have private patios. The larger apartments will be equipped with a dishwasher, and the neighbourhood will also feature a bicycle repair room. Thanks to excellent insulation and a generous number of solar panels, energy consumption will be only 80% of new construction requirements.
Troja is designed with a strong focus on greenery and biodiversity. To support wildlife, insect life, and improve rainwater management, the amount of paved surfaces is minimised. Instead, the area will feature wildflower meadows, gravel paths, wooden walkways, barbecue areas with decking, and bicycle parking with sedum roofs. A large number of the area's existing trees and shrubs will be preserved.
Accessibility and parking
While the projects are ongoing, the Kämnärsrätten parking permit is also valid in the Delphi student housing area (west of Kämnärsrätten). There are two car parks along Delfinvägen, both north and south of Actic Delphinenbadet.
Disturbances
The ground and construction work will occasionally cause disturbances in the form of noise and limited access for cars. Pedestrian and bicycle access to the buildings may at times be redirected via a nearby courtyard. There will be heavy traffic on both Kämnärsvägen and Magistratsvägen.
