ARTSPACE is exploring a number of development opportunities within Saskatoon. Our current focus is the former city bus barns, located on Avenue C North in Caswell Hill.
•The Caswell Hill area is a diverse community, home to many local artists and makers
•The former bus barn facility provides a unique historical space to retrofit for the ARTSPACE plan
•The available space allows for a mix of land use including mixed income housing, retail and shopping
The ARTSPACE concept aligns with the vision and goals of the 2010 South Caswell Concept Plan
and the City of Saskatoon’s desire to see the historic facility redeveloped into community assets.
The vision for the redevelopment of the Caswell Hill bus barns is to establish a unique mixed-use area within the city that will support the local arts community, provide additional parks and open space areas for residents, and provide affordable housing options for a range of people. -City of Saskatoon South Caswell Concept Plan.
