For those of you who currently live in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood in Saskatoon or are possibly looking to buy real estate in this area, you will be happy to learn that funding for a new school has been provided.  The Saskatchewan provincial government has committed to provide $8.3 million to be used for the construction of a new St. Mary Community School.  This new school will also include a day care and a wellness centre.  The city of Saskatoon has also committed to providing $500,000 in addition to the Saskatchewan government contribution.

The existing St. Mary school in Pleasant Hill is part of the Saskatoon Catholic School board and for years has been over crowded and not adequate for the students needs.  On several occasions the Catholic school board in Saskatoon have attempted to get work done on the school without success.  This announcement of new funding will provide for a new school to be built and better serve the students and residents of Pleasant Hill.

With the addition of this new school, real estate prices in Pleasant Hill will probably increase as well.  Pleasant Hill has traditionally been known as a rougher area of the city but with changes like this on the horizon, things will change in a hurry.  If you are interested in either buying or sell real estate in the Pleasant Hill area or anywhere in Saskatoon be sure to contact me and I’ll be happy to work with you!

The Meridian Development group announced on Thursday, May 15th that it will be developing a commercial/residential condo project on Broadway Avenue in Saskatoon.  This will be a high-end condo project aimed at the higher end buyer.  The project itself will consist of 24 condo units with three of those being penthouse units priced around $1.3 million dollars the smaller units are estimated to start around the $450,000 mark for 1,200 sq ft.

This will be a unique development for the city of Saskatoon and with the growing Saskatoon real estate market will be a nice addition.  There are various other high end condo projects throughout Saskatoon but this one will also incorporate commercial space on the first floor of the unit.  The large penthouse units will include huge hidden private terraces just above the main floor commercial space.  The condo project will be located on the corner of Broadway Avenue and Ninth Street.

As the Saskatoon real estate market continues to grow we will continue to see new and unique developments like this go up around the city.  If you are interested in learning more about the Saskatoon condo real estate market be sure to contact me and I will be happy to assist you.
