[edit] Industrial Characteristics

Undeveloped land, office space, and existing industrial facilities are available in Saskatoon albeit considering Saskatoon's economic growth over the past years has been exponential. Industrial footage can be rented between $4.00 and $7.00, whereas Office square footage runs about $6.00. North Industrial contains Suburban Office Housing by providing 20.9% of Saskatoon's office real estate or 451,607 square feet (41,955.7 m²).[3] The north industrial fully serviced premium location industrial lots sell for about $190,000 an acre. [4]

Investment agencies see Saskatoon as providing a valuable return for the dollar. Colliers real estate market analyzers have been quoted to suggest that the cost for an acre of fully serviced land in the north industrial is 47 per cent higher in the year 2007 than during 2005. So a lost with power, water and sewer would have cost $170,000 in 2002, whereas the investment is worth $250,000 in 2007.[5]

[edit] Layout

51st Street is the northern edge of this industrial area. Idylwyld Drive runs concurrent with Highway 11 or Louis Riel Trail which runs concurrent with the Yellowhead Highway and Highway 16 marks the western boundary. Whereas Railway tracks which are parallel to Millar Avenue mark the eastern. To the south Circle Drive which is concurrent with the Yellowhead Highway, Trans-Canada Highway, and Highway 16 is included. At the southern perimeter all properties which extend from Venture Crescent and 40A Street East.

Until the late 1990s, North Industrial also included the industrial lands north of 51st Street, west of the rail line, and east of Idylwyld Drive up to 60th Street, but a reorganization of community boundaries resulted in the area north of 51st Street being redesignated Hudson Bay Industrial.

[edit] History

The Skyway Drive-In remained open until the mid 1970's and was located north of Circle Drive or 42nd Street or at the SE quarter of Section 34, Twp. 28, Range 24, Meridian W3. Presently if it was still existing it would be just north of 44th Street between Faithfull Avenue and Northridge Drive.
