REGINA – It seems a change of plans is in the works for the vacant Sears Warehouse on the corner of Broad St. and 4th Ave.
On November 4th, the building owner submitted a request to the City of Regina to tear down the eight storey building, officially known as the Robert Simpson Warehouse. Then, on December 3rd, the owners withdrew the demolition permit application.

The building is listed under the Heritage Holding bylaw, meaning it’s protected from demolition or significant change pending a 60-day holding period. During that time, the city can gather input from stakeholders on the decision.
No word yet on what went on behind the scenes to change the decision. The city simply states in a release that the owner is now considering other opportunities for the building.
