Residential builds in Prince Albert starting to climb
It’s hard to drive around Prince Albert and not see some sort of construction happening, with the Victoria Hospital expansion well underway, the Métis Nation building not far from there and multiple businesses about to open or under construction in The Yard.
But residential development is also starting to pick up as recent permit numbers from the city show.
“We’re seeing an increase in new housing starts,” said Michael Nelson, planning and development manager. “Currently we’re at 13 new single-family units from January to the end of August. At this time last year, we were at five.”
At least three homes are under construction on Hadley Road and another single-family dwelling is being built in Lake Estates.
