Hoona Totem project scaled back, CUP amendment required before lease changes

Jul 14, 2026

Project representatives told Juneau’s assembly committee the Auke Landing (subport) development has been reduced from an approved 50,000 sq ft to about 18,000 sq ft because of cost and geotechnical constraints; staff said the project targets a $150 million cost and will seek a CUP amendment before any lease amendment returns to the assembly.

The full story

Miss Bell, the Hoona Totem project representative, told the Juneau City and Borough Assembly Committee of the Whole that the uplands portion of the Auke Landing (subport) development has been scaled down from the previously approved maximum of about 50,000 square feet to approximately 18,000 square feet. The reduction reflects cost pressures and engineering constraints, she said, and will preserve key uses such as a welcome center, waterfront retail and dining, and a cultural center.
