Urban Micro Affordable Housing
KZA together with sister company 360 Design Build successfully designed and constructed a modestly affordable rental housing project located in Whitehorse, Yukon. Located centrally along 4th avenue near downtown, the micro unit development is easily accessed by main transit routes and is close to public green spaces, cycling and walking paths.
The building consists of 14 apartments, 10 of which are affordable one bedroom units and 4 are market rental suites. All have shared access to oversize storage lockers. Rents are geared to income and are to remain below the average median market rent and capped for those with family incomes of less than $49,500 per year.
The high density urban infill project builds upon the recent development successes of KZA to create a vibrant mixed-use downtown neighbourhood community in Whitehorse. With a rooftop amenity area and an energy efficiency target of 25% better than the National Energy Code for Buildings 2011, the project will help address the acute need for affordable housing in the community.
