Astro Hill

Not only the place to be in Iqaluit – but the place to live. With top dining and entertainment at your doorstep, you won’t find a more convenient location.

Astro Hill’s attraction has always been strong. It’s hard to find a truly unique place, a place you never forget. There is one in the Canadian Arctic, in a small city where Inuit and global culture, the past and the present, country coziness and urban sophistication meet. Welcome to Astro Hill in the centre of Iqaluit, Nunavut. In 1941, an Inuk named Nakasuk guided a small group of military men in

to Koojesse Inlet on Frobisher Bay. They were looking for a special place for an airfield, to support Britain in the war against N**i Germany. Together they found that special place in what we now call Iqaluit. To survey the area they chose a central location, a rocky bluff with stunning views over Koojesse Inlet, and named it Astro Hill. Hundreds of men and women arrived to build the landing strip out of rock and tundra. Inuit families followed Nakasuk, the first permanent resident, and settled in the area. Astro Hill remained the heart of the growing and changing community, a downtown and a central park all at once. In the summers, boats and barges unloaded in the landing area below. In the spring and winter dogsleds bounced slowly across the ice. Astro Hill was the place to have a picnic and share a quiet moment, to reflect on family down south or in northern communities, to watch a heavily laden bomber drift in to a gentle landing or to savor a northern sunset. Today, Astro Hill Centre is still the gathering place of the Eastern Arctic. Astro Hill is a place of interpretation, where Inuit and southern cultures, the ancient and the modern come together. Residents and visitors work and relax and celebrate here, build their lives and swap stories. It’s still the best place to watch the sunset or the aurora borealis. It’s the Frobisher Inn, and Iqaluit’s best meeting places: The Frob Kitchen & Eatery, The Storehouse Bar & Grill, Caribrew Cafe, and the Astro Theatre. It’s the tallest buildings in Iqaluit. It’s a mix of 250 apartments and 100 townhouses. It’s a fitness center where you can work out and a grocery store where you can shop. It’s a gorgeous new conference center where hundreds of people can gather to share incredible experiences and exchange the latest ideas. At Astro Hill you can live an adventurous life in the Arctic without sacrificing the comfort, security, and amenities of any modern urban center. From Astro Hill you can walk to Inuit cultural centres, to shopping and schools and swimming pools, and best of all: the land and the sea. You’ll hear Inuktitut, English and French, and languages from Africa and Asia as more and more people arrive in this welcoming place each day. Welcome to Astro Hill for an extraordinary holiday or business trip, an exhilarating conference, or a fascinating few years of work. It’s your unforgettable home in the Arctic. Astro Hill is owned and managed by Nunastar Properties Ltd., a privately held company with a 40 year history in Iqaluit. Nunastar is an active community partner and has established the Nunastar Fund for Northern Children which supports charitable organizations that promote the betterment of children and their families in Northern Canada.

Pet friendly you ask? Yes, many of our rental units are pet-friendly. Just maybe not musk-ox friendly.
