MEDICINE HAT, AB – With the city and Invest Medicine Hat unveiling the proposed waterfront district last month, new condo-living along the South Saskatchewan River is also in the works.

Cam Ens, President & CEO of NewRock Developments says they have a conditional offer with the city on The Arena to build the new condo (Alto Living) on Ash Avenue.

Those conditions are scheduled to come off on June 30, with the closing of July 31 of this year.

Ens says the plan would be for The Arena to come down this summer if everything comes together.

“The plan was for last year for all this to happen, but with COVID and all the changes, both the city and NewRock decided it would be good to give it another year, so that’s all coming to fruition this summer. We hope that The Arena comes down in the summer and the building that we would be building would start in 2022.”

Ens says NewRock is still working on the design and amenities of the riverfront condo building and they hope that will be unveiled this spring or summer.

“The waterfront district the city announced is fantastic and we’re really excited for the city. I think we have a beautiful riverfront area and we were pleasantly surprised when we found out that they were doing work downtown and at Athletic Park,” Ens added.

He says NewRock also started construction on Southlands Park in January, sales there have been very good for the bungalow condos in Medicine Hat.
