Low vacancy rates driving expansion of Saskatoon office space inventory

A Class-A office vacancy rate of less than 1 percent is driving developers to continue expanding the inventory in downtown Saskatoon.

Discovery Plaza is Saskatoon’s latest Class-A project. Completed in 2009 it brought more than 50,000 square feet to the market, all of which was quickly scooped up by BHP Billiton.

The redevelopment of the Capitol 4 site on First Avenue North is currently underway and will bring an additional 31,000 square feet in a building that will be known as the Capitol Centre.

More recently, Pillar Properties Corp.has just released plans for a four-storey office building at 141 Pacific Avenue. Construction will depend on some successful pre-leasing efforts. If sufficient interest exists the new building would bring another 50,000 square feet of Class-A office space to Saskatoon’s downtown core.
