Saskatoon’s Downtown Grocery Gamble | Toronto News

Saskatoon’s downtown is getting a major makeover with a massive redevelopment project set to transform the old Star Phoenix building into a mixed-use hub featuring three new floors, two residential towers, and—most importantly—a long-awaited grocery store. With over 600 new homes and 500+ parking spots, this could be Saskatchewan’s largest residential development ever, designed to tackle the city’s food desert problem and draw foot traffic from the university and downtown core. Developers are still seeking a national grocery chain to anchor the space, but with demand high and the location prime, this could be the catalyst to revitalize the city center and boost local commerce.
