Project Overview
North Mountain Construction is executing the construction of a new multi-unit residential development in Nakusp, BC. Developed in partnership with the Columbia Basin Trust and Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Services (ASLCS), this two-storey complex will provide six secure, long-term rental homes for low- and moderate-income households, directly addressing the critical housing shortage in the region. With groundbreaking officially completed in April 2026, our site teams have mobilized and initiated earthworks, operating through disciplined schedule management to track towards a Spring 2027 handover of a resilient asset that will serve the Nakusp community for decades.
High-Performance Systems & Logistics
To ensure long-term operational viability and cost certainty for the non-profit operator, the building integrates advanced sustainability measures designed to lower utility overhead. Executing cost-efficient housing projects in rural communities requires proactive supply chain management and deep regional trade relationships. Operating under rigorous reporting standards, North Mountain Construction utilizes enterprise-level project controls to navigate logistical challenges and ensure seamless coordination with Studio 9 Architecture and local authorities.
Key technical components include:
- Renewable Energy Integration: Installation of a rooftop solar array to offset grid consumption and reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.
- Thermal Performance: High-efficiency design and construction of the building envelope to dramatically lower ongoing heating and cooling costs, maintaining affordability for residents.
- Accessible Infrastructure: The suite mix of one- and two-bedroom homes includes a fully wheelchair-accessible unit, requiring precise execution of barrier-free clearances and specialized hardware installation.
