Project Overview
A shared vision for Yukon housing
Chasàn Tatäy is a vibrant new neighbourhood.
Formerly known as Range Point, the Chasàn Tatäy subdivision development emerged out of a partnership between Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Government of Yukon. With more than 400 housing units on two adjacent parcels (37 acres on KDFN Settlement Land, Lot C-15B, and 8-acres of Government of Yukon land, Lot 262-6) this development aims to contribute to both housing in the City of Whitehorse and economic reconciliation.
About
Designed for Community
Inspired by culture, sustainability, and shared spaces.
The Range Point Master Plan (2023) solidified the configuration of the neighbourhood, including the land use designations, housing and density types, road and public utility locations as well as parks and trail features.
This image provides the neighbourhood layout, based on the existing plan. The large central park will serve as a community hub to gather and enjoy time outdoors, with neighbourhood paths connecting to nearby trails and greenspaces. A park design has been completed by KDFN Citizen and Beneficiary, Rennes Lindsay.
Residential design guidelines are provided in the Range Point Master Plan to help achieve the overall neighbourhood character.
