Question. Anyone here know what the new building (2 story construction) is that is located on the corner of 33rd and Dalmeny Road?
Thanks

Of interest to those following the closure of the 7th Ave Shop Easy, Coun. Darren Hill has confirmed on his Facebook page that Loblaws will NOT be imposing a restrictive covenant on the property to prohibit future use of the property as a grocery store.

Ok, so I'm just going dumb this down a little for me. correct me if I'm wrong...

Federated Co-op is the large company and parent to all the regional co-ops and is located downtown? But Saskatoon Co-op is managed out of their office in Stonebridge?

Furthermore, Federated, despite being connected to them still has no say on the regional co-ops decision making? If so, this would make complete sense as to why a Saskatoon co-op grocery store would not likely ever be connected to any Federated downtown offices now or in the future.

So any venture for the co-op into downtown would be taken completely on its own just like Saves on Foods, Loblaws or Sobeys.

Close.

When you join Saskatoon Co-op you pay $20 or so to buy a share in the company. You also get to vote for the board if you want to. So all the decision making is local and run out of the Stonebridge office.

Federated is then owned by Saskatoon Co-op and all the other local co-ops.

Federated owns the Grocery People brand and sell franchises. If they wanted to have there own store in downtown saskatoon, it might make more sense to be a TGP store http://www.tgpflyers.ca/tgp/tgp. They also tend to be smaller stores.

Seeing as i work for loblaws, they wont. real estate is too high. well need a higher market banner than independent even to be able to make it work. they have 1 in Toronto and Vancouver, they work really well...but we dont have the right demographics to serve the "highest" end banner. Google Maple Leaf Gardens loblaws....itll have to be like that to succeed. Id love to see one built...i love what they have to offer , and beautiful stores.but were in saskatchewan...were cheap. people whine about how expensive the independents are( when they arent that bad ) , i couldnt imagine the negative feedback on prices of the highest scaled grocery store.

Sobeys or Coop will take downtown. i still say loblaws should, they do build smaller scale independents. for a future downtown, it would work for what the city has planned for that area. in my mind.....

Did you see the CMHC report that came out on Oct 29? The one that concluded that Saskatoon's housing is overbuilt, overpriced, and due for a correction?

Yeah, I'm a real 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵.

I know that at least the Co-op accountants are located in Stonebridge.

Not purely construction related, but complimentary article in Globe and Mail travel section on Saskatoon!

I see the old/former Gawley Law building on Broadway is coming along quite nicely and looks good from what I can see.
Any idea what businesses will be moving in there? I hear that Una Pizza ( From Calgary) will be one of the tenants.

Still waiting to hear if anyone knows what the new building on the far corner of 33rd street and Delmeny road is?

Thanks

It's a Sikh temple. They are moving from a leased building on Hansleman avenue.

I noticed on the Colliers website that they're hunting for an "artisan coffee shop" to open up in the ground floor space of the small addition being added to the Zu.com building at 24th St and Pacific Ave: http://www.collierscanada.com/18136#

This would be a nice addition to the Warehouse District.

Stonebridge Business Park

Has anyone heard of what might be developed east of the Hampton Inn in Stonebridge - looks ideal for one or maybe 2 free standing restaurants

Hi Folks - I'm curious what your thoughts are on the old egadz building on 24th and 1st. It's been advertised for lease and for sale for several months now. What do you think will happen with that site? It seems like a very difficult building to lease out...no windows! Good location however.

Measuring Stick · #**8558** Posted **Nov 12, 2015, 3:25 PM**

^^^^

Egadz has been for Lease/Sale for a couple years not just months. The asking price is ridiculous IMHO. So until the price is reduced or another social service is in there nothing is likely to occur.

Echoes · #**8559** Posted **Nov 12, 2015, 4:37 PM**

It seems that the building is only suitable for a bar/nightclub.

Devon · #**8560** Posted **Nov 12, 2015, 6:28 PM**

I can''t find a photo but I believe it has a new(er) facade. The building is actually much older than it appears. Of possible, it would be great to see that hideous facade get stripped.
