North Haven Communities
Haven Communities LLC (North Haven) is a 50-year partnership between Lendlease and the U.S. Army in Fort Wainwright and Fort Greeley, Alaska. For over a decade, we have focused on providing desirable homes and amenities that service members and families both desire and deserve. Collectively, the communities are made up of 11 neighborhoods.
Over the next several years, residents will continue to benefit from ongoing community improvements and an accelerated investment plan between the U.S. Army and Lendlease for additional community improvements to ensure we meet the needs of our service members and families today and in the future.
