Terence Tait marks construction progress on Whitehorse’s The Summit condo project

The Summit, a 54-unit condo development in Whitehorse’s Riverdale neighbourhood, has reached a new construction milestone as floor beams go in and the second floor gets underway. The project is part of a tightening Yukon housing market, where limited supply and strong demand continue to push the need for new inventory.

Why it matters: - The Summit adds 54 condominium units and four commercial spaces to Whitehorse’s housing stock. - The project arrives as Yukon continues to face limited inventory and strong buyer demand. - New condo supply gives buyers more entry points in a market where housing options remain constrained.

Between the lines: - The Summit is part of a broader push to ease the housing gap in Yukon. - Industry observers see projects like The Summit as important for buyers looking for condominium ownership in a tight market. - Demand is coming not only from local buyers but also from people relocating to the territory.

What's next: - The Summit will continue moving through construction in Riverdale. - Buyers and the broader market will be watching whether additional projects help expand inventory enough to relieve pressure on supply. - More information is available from Terence Tait’s website.
