For over 60 fast moving years, an Alaskan pioneer family and company have played an integral part in the development of the 49th state. Founded by former Alaska Governor Walker J. Hickel, Hickel Investment Company has provided Alaskans and visitors alike with hotels in which to stay, housing in which to live and centers in which they can shop for every convenience of modern life. Every project built and managed by Hickel Investment Company is built with one idea in mind: Building a Better Alaska.
