Regina, Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan lets you search land titles by owner name — surname or firm — for $15 a title, and Regina goes further than any other city in this batch: its own open building-permit file names the property owner on every commercial permit, which is how the owners of the Cornwall Centre and the Hill family's downtown towers are established here without buying a single title.

Can you find out who owns it?
Saskatchewan's Land Registry is operated by ISC as Saskatchewan Registry Services, and it is one of the few registers anywhere that indexes land by who owns it: ISC states you can run a Quick Search "by Owner Name" using "the surname of the individual(s) who you think is the current land owner or the name of the corporation that owns the land". The search needs a free ISC Online Services account; a Standard Result List, Parcel Detail and Interest Register Detail are free and a Title Detail costs $15.00 on the schedule effective 15 April 2026. A Land Registry Search API exists for users approved by Saskatchewan's Office of Public Registry Administration, priced as a one-time integration fee plus a per-search convenience fee. Assessment in Regina is done by the City's own assessor rather than by SAMA, and the City's free Property Search publishes every account's fair value and, for houses, the actual sale prices behind the revaluation.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Regina's assessment tool is free, needs no account and answers by civic address, account number, parcel number or legal description. Its contents are under the City's 'all rights reserved' notice, so what follows are stated single values rather than an extract.
Highest fair value, any property$425,895,100

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Saskatchewan is the one province in this batch that actively polices who may own land, and it publishes the enforcement. The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act caps non-Canadian holdings at 10 acres and bars pension plans outright; the Farm Land Security Board, based at 3085 Albert Street in Regina, reviews roughly 40,000 farmland transactions a year after the fact, and every exemption it grants or refuses is posted as a signed order on the province's publications site — 242 of them at the time of writing.
| Name | Type | Stated holding |
|---|---|---|
| Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Saskatchewan barred pension plans from owning farm land in 2015 but gave CPPIB an exemption to keep what it then held, 'approximately 167,000 acres'. The province's news release of 14 October 2025 states that CPPIB 'has divested itself of these holdings and now owns no farm land in the province', and that the regulatory amendment removes the exemption so it cannot acquire any in future. The Provincial Auditor's 2024 report cites a CPPIB statement putting the 2015 holding at about 115,000 acres. |
Pension fund | approximately 167,000 acres, now nilA |
| Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation The Saskatchewan Farm Security Regulations, section 6, make exceptions to the rule that pension plans and trusts may not acquire a land holding; the Provincial Auditor's 2024 chapter names the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation as one, with land holdings permitted up to 104,000 acres. |
Institution | up to 104,000 acresA |
| FarmCap Farmland LP The Farm Land Security Board's Farm Ownership Exemption Denial Order of 2 October 2025 refused FarmCap LP's application to establish a trust, stating in terms: 'Large scale farm land investment funds create an unfair competitive disadvantage for Saskatchewan farmers. This is especially true when investment structures can access tax-sheltered funds that are not available to individual farmers. This specific structure goes against the spirit and intent of the Act.' The order records holdings in the Rural Municipalities of Happyland No. 231, Wood Creek No. 281, Morris No. 312 and Colonsay No. 342, plus an agreement to buy two further quarters totalling 319.87 acres completing in 2027. |
Private equity | approximately 1,440 acres acquired since 2021; seven quarters totalling 1,117.93 acres heldA |
| Nutrien (Canada) Holdings ULC A publicly traded parent makes a company non-Canadian-owned under subsection 76(g) of the Act, so Nutrien needed the Board's permission to buy the land under retail shops, crop input centres and fertilizer storage it already leased from Imperial Oil Limited. The Board granted it on 14 May 2026, for 55.61 acres, noting the facilities 'are not taking existing farm land out of production'. A further 71 parcels in the same transaction are in cities, towns or villages and so fall outside the Act. |
Public company | 55.61 acresA |
| Non-resident persons and non-Canadian-owned entities (statutory limit) No non-resident person may hold an aggregate land holding over 10 acres, and no non-Canadian-owned entity may acquire one. Pension plans, their administrators, and trusts naming more than ten resident individual beneficiaries are barred outright. Holdings acquired before 1974 are exempt. The Board may levy administrative penalties of up to $10,000 for each contravention; since 2020 it has issued five orders to sell farmland bought by four foreign individuals and two orders to a corporation to reduce lease holdings. In 2021 Saskatchewan had about 60 million acres of farmland and over 34,000 farms; the average value of an acre of cultivated land in 2023 was $3,443. |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Regina publishes what almost no Canadian city does: the contractor's name on every building permit, weekly, under an open licence, with the number of new residential units and the construction value beside it. Individual homeowners appear as 'REDACTED', companies do not. That makes a genuine builder league table possible without buying anything. The figures below cover the 2025 file and the 2026 file to week 39.
| Name | Type | New residential units on permits, 2025 + 2026 to week 39 |
|---|---|---|
| Avana Developments Inc. The largest named builder in Regina by units and by private construction value. A related applicant, Avana Holdings Inc., adds 52 units on 4 permits. |
Developer | 342 units / 40 permits / $50,635,152A |
| Ehrenburg Homes Ltd. The highest permit count of any builder in the file — a ground-oriented volume builder at roughly one unit per permit. |
Private company | 110 units / 96 permits / $31,017,715A |
| North Ridge Development Corporation Totalled across the two applicant spellings the City's file records, 'NORTH RIDGE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION' and 'NORTH RIDGE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF REGINA - CONTRACTOR'. |
Private company | 110 units / 37 permits / $20,380,491A |
| Crawford Homes Recorded under 'CRAWFORD HOMES (EBUILD)' and 'CRAWFORD HOMES (1991) LTD.' — again one unit per permit, the single-family pattern. |
Family / private | 100 units / 88 permits / $21,321,500A |
| Pacesetter New Homes Ltd. A further 41 units on 37 permits are recorded under a named Pacesetter Homes applicant. |
Private company | 89 units / 73 permits / $25,686,100A |
| Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd. The build-to-rent apartment model — seven units per permit against roughly one for the local single-family firms. |
Private company | 72 units / 10 permits / $13,460,000A |
| Argyle Developments GP Inc. Another apartment-scale developer: 7.4 units per permit. |
Developer | 74 units / 10 permits / $17,300,000A |
| Graham Construction Not a homebuilder but the largest single holder of permitted construction value in Regina across the two years, on three non-residential permits — one of them alone worth $110,500,000. |
Private company | $176,457,700 / 3 permits / 0 unitsA |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Regina's commercial core is unusually concentrated in one family. Harvard Developments, the real estate arm of the Hill Companies, has been headquartered in the city since 1903 and appears as the registered owner — through numbered and named corporate entities — behind the three highest-value privately held office towers downtown. Everything above them on the value table belongs to the Crown, the City or the University.
| Name | Type | Regina presence |
|---|---|---|
| Harvard Developments Corporation (The Hill Companies) Founded 1903 by Walter Hill, headquartered in Regina, in its fourth generation of family ownership; 650+ tenants and 215 employees. Its named Regina properties include Hill Centre Towers I, II and III (the third being Mosaic Tower), FCC Tower, Agriculture Place, 1801 Hamilton, the Bank of Montreal Building at 1800 Scarth, Century Plaza, Park Centre, Normanview Crossing, Shoppes on Hamilton, Grasslands, Acre 21, Edgewater, Fairways West, Westerra, Kramer Corner, The Vue at Lakeshore, Aurora, 1822 Scarth, 1868 Rose, 1928 and 1930 12th Avenue. |
Family / private | 158 properties, 9M+ sq ft owned and managed across Western CanadaA |
| Cornwall Centre Inc. Named as property owner on 12 Regina building permits in 2025–26. Managed by Cushman & Wakefield Asset Services; no parent entity is disclosed on any page we opened. |
Private company | $80,311,400 fair valueA |
| City of Regina The largest named property owner in the City's own permit file by permitted value, ahead of every private landlord — and the registered owner of Mosaic Stadium ($287,843,400 fair value) and of the 100-acre REAL District. |
Government | $127,322,284 of permitted construction on 95 permitsA |
| PTI Real Estate Corporation The largest private property owner by permitted construction value in the City's 2025–26 permit file, ahead of Neville Drive South Apartments Inc. ($33,000,000 on one permit) and Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd. ($25,970,000 on three). |
Private company | $39,992,000 of permitted construction on 3 permitsA |
| Regina Exhibition Association Limited A not-for-profit that operates the REAL District, which its own site calls Canada's largest interconnected event complex and the venue for Canada's Farm Show, Queen City Ex and Canadian Western Agribition, and home to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Regina Pats. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- What stands at 234 East 9th Avenue North, Regina's second-most-valuable property at $360,265,500 and the only large parcel partly classed Resource, and who owns it.
- The parent of Cornwall Centre Inc. The mall was sold out of Primaris Retail REIT in a 2013 portfolio deal reported at $2.8 billion to H&R REIT and a KingSett Capital-led group, but Primaris's current leasing list names no Saskatchewan property and no filing we opened names the present holder.
- A citywide total assessed value for Regina. The City's assessment service would answer it, but regina.ca reserves all rights in its contents and names no licence, so the record quotes single stated values rather than extracting the roll.
- Whether the City of Regina or the Regina Exhibition Association Limited holds title to the REAL District's 100 acres. The City's permit file records both as property owner on permits at 1700 Elphinstone Street.
- The relationship between 15877873 Canada Inc., HDL Investments Inc. and Harvard Diversified Enterprises Inc. All three appear as registered property owners on Harvard-listed buildings, but no source we opened sets out the corporate structure.
