KDO is getting set to celebrate completion of the new apartments on 3rd avenue, May 31st!
Tenants will be moving into the building on June 1 and June 15, 2019.

THANK YOU to our funding partners:
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
Yukon Housing Corporation
City of Dawson

Our commercial finance partner: CIBC

And our incredible local contractors and suppliers:

Oro Enterprises
Gammie Trucking
Grenon Enterprises
Crain Ventures
Bishop Plumbing
Big B Painting
Dick’s Dust
Arctic Inland Resources
Dawson Hardware
Lamerton Land Surveys

It looks peaceful on the outside… but on the inside the rooms are all framed, plumbing is roughed in, electrical is almost done, and we’re putting up drywall.

KDO is excited to be contributing to the revitalization of this section of third avenue. We’re hopeful that the vacant buildings along here  will find new life and opportunity soon!

No big deal… just getting some wall up… (!!)

There’s snow on the ground and a chill in the air, but with the help of our trusty local contractors and the City of Dawson we are charging ahead with construction of our next 8-plex.

Supporting a year-round economy is important to KDO as a community economic development focused organization, so we are pleased to once again be shopping and hiring local as much as possible, and to be constructing through the winter months.

Thanks to Gammie Trucking for their stellar work completing our excavation and backfill so quickly:

Here’s a fun shot of the Oro Enterprises construction crew who were out building forms for the concrete footings:

And thanks to Grenon Enterprises and City of Dawson for taking care of the water and sewer installation pretty much ‘just in the nick of time’ in terms of weather:

KDO’s request for proposals for final design and costing of an 8-unit apartment complex for downtown Dawson City garnered several competitive proposals. The highest scoring proponent was Oro Enterprises of Dawson City, who were awarded the contract.

Oro has already met with the KDO board to discuss concepts and floor plans, and is working on a draft design that is oriented to our lean budget and will complement the heritage nature of the town’s core.

We look forward to sharing the design once completed!
