Travbyen will be a mixed neighborhood with about 550 homes and shared facilities for residents.

We are establishing a large green area called 'the green heart' and extending Billund's play path 'Playline'.

Additionally, we are creating space for small local shops, permanent parking, and a daycare center.

The first phase is already underway, including 180 homes, the "green heart," Playline, and a community house.

The neighborhood will be developed in stages over several years, with no final completion date set.

In Travbyen, approximately 550 homes will be built. In the first phase, expected to be completed by mid-2026, 180 homes with 2-5 rooms will be built:

• 51 townhouses (54-149 m²)
• 113 apartments (41-129 m²)
• 16 urban villas (116-143 m²)

From mid-2025, we expect to be ready for registrations, including specific information about the individual homes.

By signing up for our newsletter, you will be among the first to be informed when we begin the sale and rental of homes.

Building plots will not be put up for sale in phase 1, and it is still uncertain whether this will be an option in the future.

We want to create a vibrant neighborhood for residents, citizens, and tourists, which is why we have made space for small businesses to establish themselves in Travbyen.

The plan for Travbyen allows for a few small shops or cafes to create meeting places and liveliness in the district. This could include the opportunity to buy a cup of coffee, an ice cream, or a sandwich, or it could be a small pottery workshop.

The community in Travbyen should be developed, nurtured, and run by its residents. Therefore, we will establish a neighborhood association, allowing residents to influence the development of community activities and shared facilities.

Travbyen aims to be a vibrant neighborhood that connects Billund and complements the activities, commerce, etc., flourishing elsewhere in the city.

The green heart and Playline are areas that everyone can use.

Travbyen is designed to make sustainable living easy, natural, and enjoyable. The district will prioritize pedestrians and cyclists with shared parking facilities to create a green and safe environment.

Three large parking houses will include electric charging stations and car-sharing schemes to accommodate most vehicles. Some homes along main roads will have parking options for residents with mobility issues and disabilities.

While it will be possible to drop off items and furniture near homes, most residents will not be able to park directly at their residence.

Travbyen aims to be a diverse neighborhood with strong community bonds, where residents can easily leave their mark and shape their communities.

Emphasis will be placed on creating excellent resident-driven meeting places for gatherings in both large and small communities across generations and nationalities. This includes a community house and various shared facilities like workshops, exchange markets, and utility gardens.

In Travbyen, there will be ample opportunities for play and physical activities both indoors and outdoors.

The aim is to introduce sports not currently offered by city associations, such as street basketball, skateboarding, climbing, yoga, dance, disc golf, crossfit, and more. We seek further dialogue on what is missing. If you have a good idea, please send us your suggestion.

The houses will be built in clusters with courtyards, providing more private spaces for residents. Many homes will have balconies or small private gardens. The climate-related soundproofing requirements will ensure that the homes feel very private.

We aim to develop Travbyen as a diverse neighborhood that can accommodate people of all ages and family compositions, with various social, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

When we talk about play in the neighborhood, it's in the broadest sense of the word. For example, cooking classes, dance schools, workshops, pétanque, etc., can be playful activities for children, youth, and adults. The layout of the streets and architectural solutions will also have playful expressions, inviting exploration.

Billund Municipality has committed to building a permanent daycare center in Travbyen.

Already in 2023, a temporary daycare center, Gyngetræet, was established at the northern end of the area, accommodating a total of 60 nursery and kindergarten children.

Young people are an important part of the town, including in the new neighborhood. We aim to continuously offer places for young people, both outdoors and within buildings. Additionally, in the next phase, we will work on housing for young people in the form of smaller studios/apartments.

The area will not be designated for grocery stores or larger shops. The aim is to retain commercial activity in the town center while supporting small local initiatives, such as an ice cream shop or a small café, to create vibrancy in Travbyen.
