With the new people moving into The Banks and about to be moving into River Landing, I just feel like downtown is on the verge of exploding with new condo’s. It’s just way too beautiful not to invest in. Way more beautiful than downtown Toronto with the current Blizzard and -30 temps they’re expieriencing. So many more opportunities to exemplify the river and turn it into a true winter city.
I couldn't agree with you more, Saskatoon really is a year round city, Summers are beautiful with festivals and activity along and in the river with seadoos, kayaks and rowers & people on the beaches right downtown.
Fall colors with the trees and festivals, like Nuit Blanche last day of September this past Autumn was gorgeous.
Winter with beautiful winter blanket of snow, just enough to make it look really festive without melting too much each chinook but not so snow much like down East has each year. Spring is probably my least favourite time of year because it does remind me of the mucky freeze/thaw cycle that blows off of lake Ontario in Toronto.

I look forward to see more new projects like Riverlanding, including the one they are planning on Broadway too now and the Farmers Market area near The Banks. I wasn't quick enough for the #1 Riverlanding building next to our city's beautiful new Art Gallery, but I'll definitely be looking to buy one of the condos in the new projects that come along near by.
