A western Canadian law firm has become the first known tenant to lease space in the office tower slated to rise at River Landing in Saskatoon.

Greystone Investments, one of the partners in the project, announced this week that MLT Aikins LLP will become a tenant in the first of two office towers planned for the site known as Parcel Y.

Blair Sinclair, project manager for Triovest Realty Advisers, said there are other tenants, including a committed anchor tenant, but he was unwilling to identify any of them.

He would not say how many tenants have committed to space in the prime riverfront location, but added there could be another announcement this week. He said work will begin in less than a month on the underground parkade for the 13-storey office tower.

“We’re ready to go,” Sinclair said in an interview. “Permits are in place and we’ll be underway by the middle of August.”

Work is well underway on the first two towers, a 20-storey condominium and a 155-room Alt Hotel on the west side of the parcel. The first office building is to be built on the east side. A second office tower, planned for the north end of the property, could become the province’s tallest building.
