The company behind the much-delayed Dundurn mega-mall is unlikely to meet its latest construction start date estimate, according to the reeve of the rural municipality south of Saskatoon.

“I’m definitely concerned with the delays of the project. The longer the project sits in limbo, the more concerned I become,” said Trevor Reid, who was elected reeve of the RM of Dundurn late last year.

Brightenview Development International Inc. CEO Joe Zhou told an informal meeting of the RM council in March that he hoped the company would begin work on its multi-million dollar project in October, Reid said.

However, the company has not applied for or obtained the necessary development, water and waste water permits from the RM and there has been “no development whatsoever” on the empty quarter-section northeast of the Town of Dundurn, he said.

“I fully support the project and would like to see it go ahead, but if it was going to go ahead this October, these permits should have been acquired many months ago.”
