As part of its efforts to work in collaboration with municipalities and Yukon First Nations governments to address housing and business space needs across the territory, the Government of Yukon has released 33 new residential lots across the Yukon. Twelve lots are available in Carmacks and Faro and 21 country residential lots are now available in the Lone Tree subdivision north of Teslin. Lot availability is guided by official area plans and community input, and interested buyers can participate in a public lottery to secure these new properties.
Applications will be accepted until September 6, 2024, at 4:30 pm YT. The draw will take place September 11, 2024.
This latest lottery addresses the ongoing demand for housing in these communities. The Government of Yukon’s work of developing tender-ready projects, master plans and an inventory of urban and country residential, commercial and industrial lots is ongoing. The Government of Yukon is committed to developing more land parcels and lots in all Yukon communities over the coming years.
The release of these 33 new residential lots underscores our government’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for housing across the Yukon. By collaborating with municipalities and Yukon First Nations governments, we’re addressing short-term housing needs while laying the groundwork for future development. The development of these lots will support the growth of Faro, Carmacks and Teslin for years to come.
Each new lot represents a significant opportunity for Yukoners to create their homes and build their futures. Our thanks to everyone who is part of maintaining a healthy lot inventory for Yukoners. I am pleased to see these lots supporting growth in some of our smaller municipalities and rural areas.
