Garrison Commercial Regina Market Overview
Garrison commercial is located in west Regina near Broad Street South and Gordon Road, adjacent to the rapidly growing Harbour Landing and Fairways residential communities. This emerging suburban commercial area is developing alongside the significant residential growth that has characterized southwest Regina over the past decade, with neighbourhood retail, QSR, medical and professional services establishing early positions in the growing market.
Broad Street South is a primary south Regina arterial connecting downtown Regina to the southwest Ring Road interchange, providing the traffic flow and regional accessibility that underpins Garrison commercial viability. The street's connection from downtown to the Ring Road means it carries both local residential traffic and regional through-traffic, supporting a broader range of commercial formats than purely local neighbourhood streets.
The Harbour Landing community to the south and Fairways to the west represent some of Regina's largest and fastest-growing residential developments, continuously adding new households to the southwest Regina catchment area served by Garrison commercial. As these communities mature, the trade area population density supporting Garrison commercial continues to deepen.
Retail lease rates of $16–$26/sf net and cap rates of 7.0–8.5% reflect the growth-stage character of Garrison commercial — newer product at attractive rents with lease-up risk as the residential catchment grows into the commercial supply. Early-mover investors benefit from positioning in a corridor with clear population growth trajectory.

Broad Street South and Gordon Road
Broad Street South is the primary commercial arterial for west and southwest Regina, running south from downtown along a route that passes through Garrison and continues to the southwest Ring Road interchange. The street's downtown-to-Ring Road connectivity generates consistent daily traffic flows that support commercial activity along its length.
Gordon Road provides the east-west connectivity in the Garrison area, linking the Broad Street South corridor to the Gordon Road commercial nodes and the broader west Regina residential grid. Commercial nodes at the Broad-Gordon intersection attract the neighbourhood retail formats — pharmacy, grocery, convenience and food service — that serve the surrounding residential communities.
The rapid growth of Harbour Landing to the south, one of Regina's most successful new residential communities, directly benefits Garrison commercial by expanding the trade area population. Harbour Landing's large lot single-family and stacked townhome residential development has created a substantial new residential catchment in close proximity to the Garrison commercial corridor.
