Past Projects

716 W 4th Avenue
Anchorage Police Department Returns to Downtown

The Anchorage Community Development Authority (ACDA) acquired the 716 W. 4th Avenue building with the intention of revitalizing this key downtown property, which had been vacant for some time. This strategic purchase enabled the Anchorage Police Department's return to downtown Anchorage, thereby enhancing public safety, stimulating economic activity, and reinforcing ACDA’s mission to drive community-focused development.

This project represents a significant investment in downtown Anchorage’s future, contributing to a safer, more vibrant urban core.

Study Information

Northpointe Bluff

ACDA completed the Northpointe Bluff Subdivision in 2019, transforming Government Hill into a vibrant new residential community. A total of 89 single- and multi-family housing units were constructed, offering diverse living options to meet a variety of needs. This thoughtfully designed neighborhood features modern homes and scenic views.

Notice: Both Northpoint Bluff Drive and Northbluff Drive (just northeast of Northpointe Dr.) are part of this project. Northbluff Drive is pictured above.

Glenn Square Retail Center

The development of a retail center on the 25 acres parcel is a key part of the revitalization efforts in the Mountain View neighborhood. ACDA worked with a private developer to integrate local and new businesses, provide new employment opportunities, enhance property values, improve the aesthetics of the area and create positive, sustainable economic growth.
