Now the situation is somewhat different in Regina with Harvard's offering of (generally) modern office space. However, one still wonders if a developer was to take the "If we build it, they will come" attitude, would the same "flight to quality" occur in Regina?

Didn't the Govt of Sask force Nutrien(Potash Corp) to keep the head office in Saskatoon and thus resulting in that being built? It would be nice if Regina had a scenario with a company like that but no chance.
