A Saskatoon developer is planning an apartment tower for the corner lot on Broadway Avenue that used to be the home of the Royal Bank.

A rendering on the website of Baydo Development Corporation shows a seven-storey apartment tower above two floors of commercial and office space on the corner of Broadway and Main Street.

Baydo is seeking approval from the city to build a structure with an awning that extends 1.7 metres over the existing sidewalks along Broadway and Main.

The request will first be considered by city council’s transportation committee on Tuesday, but the final decision will rest with city council.

Nutana Community Association president Catherine Folkersen said the project does not require rezoning, so no public consultations are required. She said she has not heard from Nutana residents about the proposed tower.

“It has been quiet,” Folkersen said in an email. Baydo officials could not be reached for comment.
