Grasswood Development Master Plan and Infrastructure Servicing

English River First Nation owns nearly 135 acres of Reserve Land south of Saskatoon’s Stonebridge neighborhood, accessed by Grasswood Road near Highway 11, with existing office, retail, and warehouse developments. Collaborating with Urban Systems, Des Nedhe Development, English River’s economic development company, aims to create a clear vision for future land use and development phases. Urban Systems prioritizes English River’s goals, including leveraging lands as Urban Reserve, timing development with market demand, and maximizing opportunities for Des Nedhe Development. An updated analysis of Saskatoon Region’s commercial and industrial markets informs the project, addressing servicing and access challenges. The project aims to reflect the First Nations advantage in the business case, ensuring English River and Des Nedhe Development are involved in construction and business management.
