The site of the former Swift Current Union Hospital continues to develop into a growing residential community called Sweetwater Estates.

Development of phase one is well underway, and now work on phase two will soon begin, after Swift Current City Council approved a subdivision to allow construction of a 32-unit condo development.

"In order to accommodate the development a subdivision had to be a carried out," said Swift Current Director of Engineering Mac Forster. "To bring a little bit of property from the the adjoining parcel, which he owns as well, and amalgamate it with the property of phase 2 to accommodate the size of the building and the parking requirements."

Forster adds it's nice to see residential development not just on the outer edges of the city, but redevlopment of properties within the city.
