The government of Saskatchewan says it's seeing more success with building construction investment, which is being backed up by numbers from Statistics Canada. In their latest release, they showed that Saskatchewan saw a 29.9 per cent growth in February 2025 compared to February 2024 for building construction investment.
Investment in building construction is calculated based on the total spending value on building construction within the province.
The figures would put Saskatchewan in first place among all provinces for year-over-year growth.
"These numbers reflect Saskatchewan's strong economy, and continued growth in capital investment as more people are choosing to build and grow their families here in our province," said Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding. "Whether they are building new housing, new infrastructure, or new businesses, they are investing in the future of Saskatchewan."
By comparison, January 2025 saw a 27.2 per cent increase compared to January 2024 for the building construction investment in the province.
Other recent statistical data showed that urban housing starts increased by 96.5 per cent in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
