Last week, the ground lease between the Anchorage Community Development Authority (ACDA) and 6th Avenue Center, LLC was unanimously approved by the Anchorage Assembly, paving the way for redevelopment of the Sixth Avenue Parking Mall into a multi-use property consisting of a hotel, residential apartments, restaurant, and retail spaces.  

“Since the day I took office, my administration has been focused on jump-starting development in downtown Anchorage,” said Mayor Dave Bronson. “The Sixth Avenue Parking Mall is part of our framework to leverage public sector investment to catalyze private development.”

The project is estimated to bring $60 to $65 million dollars of investment into Anchorage, create up to 160 jobs during the construction phase, and generate millions in new bed and property tax revenues.

“This project represents a giant step forward for downtown. It will bring needed development to the heart of our city and shows what can be accomplished when the public and private sector work together,” said ACDA Executive Director Mike Robbins.

“Our partnership with ACDA and the City is critical in making this a successful and transformational redevelopment project,” said Larry Cash, Partner of 6th Avenue Center, LLC.

The 2-story 6th Avenue Parking Mall is located on 6th Avenue, between G & H Street and owned by ACDA.  It is expected that construction will begin October 2022 with an estimated completion date of September 2023.
