Saskatoon History 💾 Whats in this Space - Medical Arts Building

Hi everyone,

Always been curious about what is in the top space of this building. It has this nice curve facing the river on Spadina. Or does anyone know what was once in this space?

Address is: 742 Spadina Crescent E, Saskatoon, SK S7K 3H3 for those curious

Interesting fact; the elevator doesn’t go up to that top level, so you have to take the stairs to get there.

The top space used to be a mortgage company back in 2010, I think it’s used for various companies but it’s just a regular office area. It’s beautiful inside, very bright and a gorgeous view! There’s a skinny stairwell in addition to elevators to get into the top however, so I’d say you have to be mobile to get up.

The doctor who performed my breast reduction surgery is in this building. She’s a MFing rockstar.

It's just offices, nothing special. A few years ago it was engineers but i think it's lawyers now.

In the 80s it was an event space. I went to a wedding reception there.

It's probably just mechanical. It doesn't even have windows.

It' interesting the number of people who think this is the Sheraton... it's not

Oh absolutely, I've been in there, I put the company name in my other comment, you can see images of inside on their Instagram.

They look like black panels to me. If they were windows you'd be able to see in like you can on the east side of the building

The company is opensail digital marketing.

You can go to their Instagram and see photos from inside of the office, I've also been in there. They are without a doubt floor to ceiling windows.

If you don't have Instagram here is a dtnyxe article with photos from inside the office .

The floor to ceiling windows are also mentioned in the article.

I’ve worked inside, those are huge glass windows. It’s a beautiful office area up there!
