Maybe someone else can sum it up better than me, but when it comes to highrise towers (ie more than 6 or 7 floors) construction in Regina has been kicking S'toons hiney. Since 2007 only a few have been built here - Holiday Inn, a 15 story condo building on Spadina and the Lighthouse. There have been a large number of proposals like River landing (several highrise towers), 275 2nd ave and City Centre Tower but none currently under construction. There has been a ton of lowrise construction in S'toon though, several 4/5 story buildings in the CBD/warehouse district, UofS, new art gallery, police headquarters and densification/infill throughout the existing core and east side neighbourhoods.

Seems the focus in Saskatoon has been more towards revitalization than new construction as in Regina. And both are fine by me!
