Neighbourhood Overview
The Broders North commercial submarket occupies north-central Regina, extending from the Broders Annex neighbourhood northward through the mixed residential and light-industrial precincts of north Regina. The area's commercial character combines neighbourhood strip retail, service commercial, and light-industrial uses that serve both the surrounding residential population and the industrial workers of the north Regina industrial precincts. The submarket's arterial road network provides efficient access to downtown Regina and the north industrial area.
Office and retail lease rates in the Broders North submarket run $18–22 net and $22–28 net respectively, with light-industrial and service-commercial space trading at $10–14 net.

Key Commercial Corridors
Dewdney Avenue and the north arterial connectors form the primary commercial framework for the Broders North submarket, providing access to the downtown core and the north industrial precinct. The Dewdney Avenue corridor supports a continuous mix of strip retail, automotive services, QSR, and professional office uses that serve both the north-central residential population and commuters traversing the east-west arterial.
Secondary commercial activity extends along the north-south collector roads connecting Broders Annex and the adjacent north-central communities to the primary arterials. Light-industrial and service-commercial uses are interspersed with neighbourhood retail in a mixed-use format that reflects the Broders North submarket's transitional character between the inner residential neighbourhoods and the north industrial area.
