One of the developers of Capital Pointe has filed an appeal to keep the project alive. The City of Regina was informed of the appeal in a statement received April 18 from Westgate Properties.

The appeal was filed after the City issued an order on April 3 for the developers to fill a five-storey hole at 1971 Albert St.

“The City was notified April 18, 2018, by the Ministry of Government Relations that an appeal was filed. The appeal is related to the order to comply for 1971 Albert Street issued on April 3, 2018, to Westgate Properties Ltd., 1500 – 1874 Scarth Street, Regina,” city officials said.

No date has been announced for the appeal to be heard.

Construction on Capital Pointe started in October 2015 with plans to build a 27-storey condominium and hotel complex. The project was initially announced in 2009, just three years before the former-standing Plains Hotel was demolished.
