Moosomin town council passed a motion on Wednesday, December 17 to allow for 11 commercial condo units on two lots in Eastgate Business Park, south of the SaskPower building on Saunders Road.
Jay Hamilton with South Prairie Properties sat down with council at their meeting that night to explain the project.
He said there would be three buildings with 11 condo bays that could be used for commercial, shop, storage, or light industrial. Each unit would be individually titled like a residential condo, and the three buildings would be 5,040, 6,000, and 6,240 square feet.
Hamilton said presale of the units will start early in the new year, and construction would start in the spring of 2026, with possession taking place in the fall.
“We are going to ask for development permit approval so that can proceed with the presale of the units,” he told council.
“We are going to ask for pre-approval of C2 discretionary uses to accommodate a mix of users. Everyone who falls within C2 we feel is suitable for that space. And we are going to ask for approval of a commercial condo plan allowing up to 11 units so we can proceed with this style of condo development.
“We believe the project supports local business, grows the tax base in a meaningful way, fits well within the Eastgate Business Park, and addresses a clear gap in the commercial market.”
Hamilton said a condo corporation would be formed that would manage the shared responsibilities of the building. The corporation would be made up of the condo owners and would follow a bylaw put in place for the development.
The project is estimated to cost between $2.5 and $3.5 million.
Hamilton said the target market for buyers would be businesses like the trades, mine and oilfield service companies, or the units could be used as satellite locations for larger companies that are working in Moosomin on an intermittent basis. He said he could also see the units being used for warehouse space or for recreational use for people simply wanting shop space, or storage space for their RVs or vehicles.
“This will be low traffic use, not like a retail or restaurant space,” he said. “I imagine some of these users will be intermittent or not even on site that much.”
Hamilton asked council if they would approve allowing for 11 units on two lots so that he could start presale on the units.
Council approved the 11 units over two lots, and will be dealing with the development permit at their January 21 meeting.
