About Us
Welcome to Chinook Hills Development
At Chinook Hills Development, we're more than just a development company—we're lifelong residents committed to the thriving future of The Columbia River Gorge. Owned by Douglas Kirchhofer and supported by our Chief Administrative Officer and Public Relations lead, Kasie Cook, our team brings a deeply personal understanding of the unique needs and dynamics of our community.
Our Mission
As long-time locals to The Dalles OR, we recognize the importance of honoring the spirit and heritage of our area. Upon rediscovering the original Sundune development plan from 1999, we saw an opportunity to reimagine it in a way that genuinely reflects our community's aspirations. Our goal is to create a development that is not based on an outsider's perspective but is rooted in the values and desires of those who live here.
Collaborative Partnerships
We value professional excellence. That's why we've partnered with the seasoned professionals at Surround Architecture, led by owner Mark VanderZanden. This collaboration ensures that our projects are not only community-focused but also meet the highest standards of design and sustainability.
