The Government of Yukon is releasing 80 lots in Whistle Bend, including townhouse, multi-family and residential lots, to builders and the public by lottery and public tender.
The land sale will take place on April 5, in time for the 2018 building season. Tender bids and lottery applications will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3.
This release of building lots continues the government’s efforts to increase land and housing availability to support healthy and vibrant communities.
New lots in Whistle Bend will meet the demand for housing opportunities in Whitehorse while creating opportunities for local contractors and tradespeople. We will continue to work with municipalities, communities and the private sector to address the land development needs of Yukoners.
Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources Ranj Pillai
Making land available to Yukoners is one way to ease housing pressures across the territory. The release of new Whistle Bend lots is the product of years of hard work and cooperation with the City of Whitehorse. We look forward to continue partnering with municipalities to create housing opportunities for Yukoners.
Minister of Community Services John Streicker
Since its first phase in 2012, Whistle Bend has provided over 350 building lots for Yukon homes.
For the April 5, 2018, land sale, six townhouse sites consisting of 20 lots will be offered through public tender, three multi-family lots will be offered through a public tender and 10 restricted residential lots and 47 residential lots will be offered through a lottery.
