The Frontier Centre, located in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, was acquired by Terracap in 2009. This strategically positioned retail property spans 205,000 square feet of interior mall space and includes 7.5 acres of adjacent development land, offering a unique opportunity for expansion and redevelopment. Situated on the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the region, the Frontier Centre benefits from high visibility and traffic, with approximately 13,000 vehicles passing by daily. Its prime location is further enhanced by its proximity to key attractions such as a Walmart Supercentre, Canadian Tire, the Golden Eagle Casino, and the city’s Cuplex, a multi-use recreational complex. Upon acquisition, Terracap recognized the potential of the property to become the dominant retail destination in North Battleford. With significant development lands positioned between the mall and Walmart, the site presented opportunities to reconfigure portions of the existing centre to accommodate national tenants with higher, stable rental rates. The mall’s status as the primary retail hub for the area has been solidified through a series of strategic upgrades under Terracap’s ownership, including roof replacements, electrical system enhancements, and improvements to overall infrastructure. These upgrades have helped to attract and retain an impressive roster of national tenants.

The Frontier Centre is anchored by major brands such as No Frills Grocery Store, Peavey Mart, Staples, and Prairie North Health. Additional notable tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, Dollarama, Tim Hortons, Burger King, Boston Pizza, and Sport Chek. These tenants provide a diverse mix of offerings, catering to the needs of both local residents and visitors from surrounding areas. The presence of these trusted national brands has elevated the Frontier Centre as the dominant retail and commercial hub in North Battleford, drawing consistent foot traffic and serving as a key shopping destination for the region.

In addition to the retail offerings, the 7.5 acres of development land have created further opportunities for growth and diversification. Two acres of the land are currently being developed into a 100-room Comfort Suites hotel in partnership with BCP, expanding the site’s appeal and utility for travelers and visitors to North Battleford. This hotel development is expected to complement the existing retail and service mix, adding a hospitality component to the property that will further increase its value and enhance its role as a regional commercial centre.

With its combination of high-traffic location, strong anchor tenants, and ongoing development potential, the Frontier Centre has firmly established itself as a critical economic and retail driver for North Battleford. Terracap’s strategic vision and investments in the property have transformed it into a thriving retail destination and a cornerstone of the local economy, offering long-term value for both tenants and investors. As the property continues to grow, the Frontier Centre remains poised to meet the evolving needs of the community while capitalizing on additional opportunities for expansion and redevelopment.
