Arthur Cook Building (Saskatoon)

 place with historical importance, condominium, warehouse

Three-storey brick warehouse built in 1928 by the Saskatoon Cartage and Warehouse Company. It was designed by Saskatoon architect David Webster and built by the A.W. Cassidy Co. Ltd. It was sold to MacCosham Storage and Distribution in 1945 and used until it was again sold in 1978.

Since then it has been used by the City of Saskatoon for its central purchasing department. It was named after Arthur E. Cook, longtime keeper of city stores from 1921-1952.

In 2009, requests for proposal to sell the building and convert into commercial space went out. In 2010, the city indicated it favoured a bid by North Ridge Developments, beating out proposals from Shift Developments and MidWest Developments. By 2011, the building was being renovated and was already fully leased by a single tenant, Stuart Olson Dominion Construction.
