Does anyone know where we can find a history of Saskatoon land sales? Specifically, I'm wondering if the city has sold the parcels near the former Farmer's Market and to whom it was sold to. I know the city has been looking to sell that prime land for a few years now. Thanks!

Another big difference maker in the look/impact of our downtown skylines is that Saskatoon's is in a river valley and Regina's is on the flatest of flat prairie...can see it for kilometres outside of the city.

All land sales would be registered with ISC, all the basic details are available to the public but you have have an online account and most services have some fees to access.

The City of Saskatoon will continue exploring a possible partnership with Saskatoon Public Schools and other organizations regarding a new recreation facility.

Earlier this year, plans were announced to consolidate three older schools in core neighbourhoods, Pleasant Hill, King George and Princess Alexandra, into one school to be built on the current site of the Princess Alexandra school.

The City of Saskatoon, which is part of the White Buffalo Youth Lodge Partnership, wants to explore partnering with the school division to look at integrating a new joint-use recreation facility into the school project for the renewal of White Buffalo Youth Lodge.

I'm having troubles using their website. Would be great if someone else see if the city has sold that land and to whom.

According to the ISC site, the property West of the Idywyld bridge is owned by the City as well as the Pumphouse site and the parking lot across from the Farmers Market. This doesn't mean that they aren't in negotiations.. anyone want to pool our funds for the old A.L. Cole Pumphouse?

Thank you for looking into this. I am disappointed to learn the city hasn't sold this property yet. I expect this to be a relatively major project for the city that should have a significant impact on our skyline. I'd like to see someone from out of town with deeper pockets pick this up, or at least a local developer team-up with outside money such as Triovest next door. So we wait.

Just as long as Baydo doesn't get their hands on the land to build one of their gems I think most any developer will take advantage of the prime river front property to develop into something half decent at least.

I could be wrong but my understanding was that land was being held back off the market and will only be sold one chunk at a time to maintain value. I also believe it is subject to a number of controls, like the rest of river landing.

I’m pretty sure you’re right, and i personally would rather see a tower of some sort compliment the arena/convention center expansion before that same developer gets a hold of this property. 😬

btw - isn’t this a perfect time to start the arena/convention center? this would be a great economic stimulus to boost the economy right now, and would be up and ready right after the second covid-19 wave settles

Those renderings were the biggest tease the City of Saskatoon has ever experienced. When those came out a few years ago I spent days looking and drooling over them. Obviously Midtown decided to go with it's much more modest renovation/addition that we've seen since.

I don't care whether it's the city to develop arena/convention center, or another developer for an unrelated project, that Toys R Us property MUST be dealt with. It's just simply too valuable and has far too much potential to be used as it currently is.

Horizon Bible college is moving from 7th Street over to attridge. The tiny Windows are in classrooms and offices. The inside looks pretty cool with huge vaults. I did the structural steel, walls roof and windows.

Word on the site is that after Horizon moves to the new building remai will get possession of the 7th Street location and build a new condo

We were supposed to hear about the arean/convention center potential locations in Q1, do you guys think the OCP Official Community Plan will announce that tonight - it's supposed to have an Entertainment District plan in it? I'm super confused about what that plan is for.
