New feature

Workforce housing & hostel accommodations

A new revenue stream that can start within 80 days of financing, answering the urgent need for workforce housing in the area. Prefabricated, insulated, wired and plumbed units — no permit is needed for prefab housing in this area — with twin-bed workforce rooms, guest rooms, a recreation lounge and a laundry unit.

It answers recent announcements nearby: Princess Cruise Lodge’s $70M upgrade with 120 new rooms and 2 restaurants, new DOT bridge construction north and south of the property, and the Alaska LNG pipeline project running through Denali just west of the property.
