Regina’s city council has moved forward with plans to build a multi-family residential building, along with permitting manufactured homes across the city.

At Wednesday’s meeting, council approved rezoning 2571 Broad Street, the former Canadian Blood Services building, from institutional to residential high-rise to accommodate construction for an apartment building.

Requested by West Oak Investments, the current building will be demolished with plans to develop a residential apartment building with over 100 units and underground parking.

Council also approved allowing manufactured homes in all residential zone neighbourhoods within city limits.

Prior to the motion, manufactured homeowners were only allowed on properties designated as a Residential Manufactured Home Zone (RMH).

Under The Regina Zoning Bylaw, there were only two areas permitted, one in Glen Elm and one in Argyle Park.

Boards and Committees

At Wednesday’s meeting, council also appointed people to its 2026 Boards and Committees, which include the Board of Police Commissioners, Audit and Finance Committee, Regina Downtown Business Improvement District, and more.

Each board and committee has to have representatives from the public and city council. The groups make recommendations to city council.

As of Wednesday afternoon, council began discussions on the city’s encampment response protocols strategy which falls under the city’s Well-Being and Homeless plan.
