Report commissioned by City of Saskatoon projects major future growth

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Norm Fisher, Royal LePage Vidorra

Saskatoon’s future is bright, according to a report presented to city council on Monday night. The 215-page report, prepared by MXD Developments Strategistsof Vancouver projects that Saskatoon’s population would hit 325,000 by 2028. By then, the city will require six new hotels, a thirty percent expansion in retail space from 10 million square feet to 13 million square feet, and an forty-five percent expansion of industrial space from the current 15.2 million square feet to 22.3 million square feet.

The primary recommendation in the report is a relaxing of the current direct control zoning regulations that limit the types and numbers of businesses that can operate in suburban areas.

City administration will study the report and bring their recommendations to council in the near future.

Norm is known for his passion for technology and can most often be found exploring and experimenting with the next big thing in real estate marketing. He was the first Saskatoon real estate agent to promote a home online and has been an early adopter of new technologies ever since. “Everything about this business has changed over the past 20 years, and it will happen again in the next ten. An open mind and a curious attitude are all that’s needed to continue to find new ways to serve our clients by delivering a faster, smoother, worry-free transaction,” says Norm.

He’s a strong supporter of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and enjoys raising funds by joining fun, fitness-related initiatives like the Grouse Grind for Shelter. In 2015, he trekked the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu. In 2017 he walked the southern highlands of Iceland across mountains, sand, snow, ice, lava fields and forest for seven days. Collectively those initiatives raised over a million dollars for Canadian women's shelters.
