Embracing Girdwood's Special Charm and Natural Beauty
Planning Responsibly, Together
For nearly two decades, the Holtan Hills property has remained untouched, even as Girdwood’s need for attainable housing has grown more pressing—especially for the people who work here, raise families here and keep our community strong. The proposal is now in its final stages of review before any construction begins—an effort already more than three years in the making.
Holtan Hills is designed to help meet Girdwood’s local housing needs by facilitating a range of new homes, offering a wider mix of housing types through a thoughtful “mixed-density” design and using existing public land responsibly.
Phase 1 of Holtan Hills will create 39 developable homesites, which can accommodate single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on numerous lots. This flexibility can help address the community's housing shortage The primary goal of this new neighborhood is to create "shovel ready" homesites for private parties and builders. We are receiving a heavy volume of requests, including Girdwood residents, interested in this new community. We invite you to learn more.
Each year, it becomes harder for the people who make Girdwood thrive to find a place to call home. Holtan Hills represents an opportunity to make real progress—creating lots for new homes that strengthen our community while honoring the natural beauty and character that make Girdwood unique.
