DUNDURN—Work is expected to start this month on the first-phase of a new 300-lot residential development in Dundurn.
Developers Ed Weening and Carman Dodman unveiled the plans for Sunshine Meadows at a meet-and-greet in Dundurn Sept. 30. Weening purchased 90 acres on the southeast edge of Dundurn a few years ago with the intent of creating a new development consisting of residential and mixed commercial.
Weening said the first phase of the development, which will see 102 residential lots varying in size from 50 feet and up, is scheduled to begin soon. The “solar friendly” subdivision will be serviced by City of Saskatoon water and the layout includes green spaces, walking paths and a water feature that will handle runoff water. Within the development 4.17 hectares has been designated for commercial use and another 6 acres has been deeded to the Town of Dundurn for future recreation facilities and new municipal offices.
Dodman, owner of DDD+ Construction, said the first part of construction is to build a berm around the area alongside Highway 11.
When complete, Sunshine Meadows has the potential to double the size of Dundurn and will be the town’s first residential development in more than 10 years.
