I'm going to draw them all onto a nice map, but I know I'm forgetting some. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head..

U/C or soon to begin construction
- STC
- Wingate
- Victoria Place
- Old Superstore land
- IPSCO Place expansion
- Leader Building

Proposed
- Mosaic Stadium Expansion
- Qu'appelle Diocese towers
- new 10-15 story office tower for Saskpower
- "New Development" on old Coronet site

I feel like I'm missing a lot. What needs to be added?

- Broad Street Corssing (Tim Hortons and Canadian FOod Inspection Agency) On that thought, they added a sign to the side of the building that says "Tim Hortons COming Soon...."

- Maple Leaf Estate (near the General Hospital)

- Tourism Regina (moving downtown, not sure where yet)

- Legion building (perhaps?) same group as the Leader building, turn the Legion into a performance venue, with a new home for the Regina Plains Museum.

- Cornwall Professional Building (renewal of the whole building, currently there is a vacant retail space on the main floor, you can see work being done inside.)

- Donahue building (no idea whats going on inside,, perhaps an expansion of the Adult Campus, but some of the windows have PCL construction signs in them)

- COnstruction ongoing in the retail space in the Greenfell (sp?) tower. There was a former Subway restaurant...not sure what is planned.

- New federal government parkade on Rose next to the Alvin Hamilton (sp?) federal government building.

- Glass studio building expansion at Hamilton and...14th?

Rumours
- New office tower??

- Casino hotel in the Post Office? Probably not, but its been mentioned.

- Several projects apparently will be announced within the next 6th months according to the Mayor as said on the Wolf radio station.

- Perhaps something to do with the Travellers building? It was mentioned on here that the adjacent lot was sold, as well the Fun House has taken down its sign and cleared the merchandise after how many years? Perhaps, but who knows.

- Not a rumour, but probably me just making something up, but I've noticed several times people in one of the Westland properties on Hamilton, the for lease sign is still up...so I'm not sure.

Plans
- Downtown Master Plan

- Core Renewal Plan

New Stores..
- Metro Pet Market, next to SaskEnergy

- What has the Cornwall added? Dollorama....uhh I forget what else...

- New Mexican restaurant on Scarth

I know there's more, I just can't remember....this probably isn't that important.

Perhaps that's all for now...if anything else comes to me I'll let you know.

It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that SaskPower would buy the old STC building and build a new 7-10 story building. Wonder if the election will have any influence on this?

Here's the link.

As for Mosiac, Hopson said the other day they were looking at expanding.

Thanks. I hope the election doesn't influence their current plan in any bad way.

Shopper's is moving into a bigger location, if that counts? There was some other store that was hiring for the end of August but never materialized. Not sure what happened there. I think you've got 'em all, though!

And that building is, for sure, apartments? If so, awfully hotelish looking apartments. And ugly. At least it's set a good distance from Albert Street, away from decent folk.

[CCF]

Ugly?

It doesn't even have any siding yet! Lets reserve judgement until it's more than 25% finished.

The Donahue Building is indeed having the third floor upgraded for our Adult Campus school.

[CCF]

Welcome to the forum.

[cutterp]

Thanks I've read this entire thread over the last two days. Very interesting and am looking forward to contributing some interesting content.

[CCF]

I hope you have more inside sources than the rest of us!

Does anyone know what's going up behind the Sobeys/strip mall in the east end? It's a bigger than normal 3 story building. I see it from a distance daily but I didn't get a chance to get up close to view any possible information.

[youngregina]

im only guessing, and i think it would have to be an apartment building/condos. Because that entire area behind sobeys in the east end is zoned residential. Agian im only guessing.

I've seen it fairly close up and I still can't figure out what it is! The only thing that really makes much sense is condos...but it still doesn't look quite right.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what's above Colin O'Brians? I love that building, and I'm just curious as to what the other floors are used for.

I think that at least the top floor is residential... I seem to recall this past spring there was a condo unit for sale in that building.

[youngregina]

There is a yoga studio up there, isnt there?

[cutterp]

There have been some more rumors floating around about a possible expansion on Mosaic Stadium. Looking at expanding capacity to 40,000.

The rumor was confirmed in a Newstalk 980 radio interview (Oct 29, 2007) when Rider CEO, Jim Hopson, mentioned the possible expansion.

This would be great! More seats means a better chance for me to get playoff tickets next year when we host ANOTHER playoff game. GO RIDERS!!!

[cutterp]

Oh and they are building a Chili's restaurant on Vic East beside McDonalds.

Also the city is doing major repairs to the former Sk Learning building on 4th Ave. They just finished repointing the bricks on the west side of the building and are working on the front facade.

Last time I was in the building some of the pillars supporting the roof were detached from the floor and I honestly thought the place should be imploded. Guess it's cheaper to rebuild it than knock it down.
