The municipality works actively with local development planning to enable construction in line with ongoing growth. Our development plans create opportunities for both multi-family housing and single-family homes in different parts of the town.
The municipality as a partner
In Boden, you will work with a municipality that actively enables housing development – through efficient processes, close dialogue and a strong focus on delivery.
At Tjärnbacken, a new residential area is being developed in central Boden, close to both the town centre and the Boden River. Around 200 homes are planned, offering a mix of housing types in a location that combines urban convenience with access to nature. Read more >>

Strong conditions for investment
Boden is one of the top-ranked municipalities in Sweden for planning permission and land allocation, according to the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR). This means short lead times and efficient processes for those looking to establish themselves.
Together with prepared land and active spatial planning, this creates strong conditions for delivering housing projects.
