Let’s consider a couple of initiatives that have added/might add some housing to the Saskatoon market. yxe
The City of Saskatoon moved fast to put together a stakeholders’ group, including the SRHBA.
Lesley Anderson, the city’s director of planning and development, said the amount requested is confidential for now, but the number could be extrapolated from Regina’s reported $36.2 million request for 1,100 units.Article content “Once the funds are in place, the city will put out an incentive package and people would apply,” Anderson said.
“There’s some skepticism that the building industry will be able to accommodate all that building in that time period … but municipalities through HAF are being asked to do whatever we can to spur this development.” She pointed to a recent report produced by the Canadian Home Builders Association and Altus Group in 2022, which demonstrated the city’s rankings for development policy.Single-family home development fees, however, are the second-highest in Western Canada — which may partly explain the lack of new housing stock in this sector. However, fees for high-rise units are comparatively quite reasonable.
