Overview — North Hill East Moose Jaw
North Hill East encompasses the eastern portion of Moose Jaw's North Hill commercial district, sitting adjacent to the main power centre anchored by national and regional retailers. The east side of the corridor attracts retail pad sites, automotive dealerships, service commercial, and smaller strip plazas that complement the higher-profile west-side power centre. The area benefits from Trans-Canada Highway proximity and the north-side residential growth sectors of Moose Jaw.
Retail lease rates in North Hill East range $16–$22/sf NNN, consistent with the broader North Hill district. The east section offers modestly more flexible zoning and larger lot sizes for automotive, equipment, and service commercial users who require outdoor display or yard areas. Vacancy rates in the 7–11% range reflect the competitive but stable suburban retail environment.
North Hill East — Commercial Corridor Overview
The North Hill commercial corridor in east Moose Jaw extends from the power centre anchors eastward along the main arterial, accommodating a range of retail formats from large-bay anchor tenants to smaller strip plazas and pad sites. The east section of the corridor benefits from established traffic generated by the power centre, capturing secondary retail and service demand.
Connecting arterials link North Hill East to the Trans-Canada Highway interchange and to the north residential growth sectors. Automotive dealerships, agricultural equipment dealers, and fleet service operations are well-represented in the east section, reflecting the lower land costs and larger lot requirements relative to the power centre's retail core.
