The touted most exclusive address in Saskatoon is getting a little less exclusive.

High demand during the opening weekend of pre-sales for units in a new condominium tower at River Landing have prompted the developers to add four more storeys.

Taya Cook, development director for Toronto-based condo developer Urban Capital, said demand for the units convinced the company to add 21 more. If the additional floors are approved, the height of the tower would go from 16 storeys to 20 storeys, for a new height of 62.6 metres.

All 105 condos sold out during the first weekend of sales for the property, called No. 1 River Landing, which is under construction at perhaps Saskatoon’s most enticing piece of land, Parcel Y.

“I think it’s definitely the location,” Cook said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s a location that’s been talked about for a long time. So there’s pent-up demand.”

Cook said she could not recall another Urban Capital project with demand so high the company decided to add more floors. The company will start with its waiting list and then reopen the sales office in Saskatoon around the end of February, she said.
