La Renaissance Apartments

La Renaissance Apartments is a modern residential tower with 24 floors housing 96 units throughout its frame structure. The building stands as a prominent feature of the downtown skyline with its substantial vertical presence.

The building opened in 1983 as an important addition to downtown development, responding to growing demand for contemporary urban housing. Its construction marked a turning point in how Saskatoon was expanding upward during that decade.

The building reflects how residents wanted to live in the heart of the city during its era, combining home and proximity to downtown life. Its design shows what people valued in urban housing at that time.

The downtown position places shops, dining, and services within easy walking distance for anyone exploring the area. Multiple ways to reach the building mean you can arrive by different routes depending on where you come from.

The floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around all 24 levels create constant views of the South Saskatchewan River and city beyond for those inside. This generous use of glass was forward-thinking for its era and shaped how the building sits within the downtown landscape.
