The Two Twenty's Curtis Olson discusses: “An Act of Urban Renewal: Redeveloping Riversdale”

Shift Development Inc. was founded by Curtis P. Olson early in 2009 and quickly established itself as an innovative development company through The Shift Home (www.theshifthome.com) project that proved the market for modern, green and affordable housing in Saskatoon, SK. Having experience in technical (Bachelor’s in Engineering Physics, U of S 2004), creative (professional musician) and entrepreneurial fields, Mr. Olson has exceptional insight into both the technical and the human/cultural aspects of real estate development.
Best described as “Acts of Urban Renewal”, Shift Development’s projects reimagine forgotten buildings and spaces as places for community and culture to thrive. Shift Development sells new housing units, leases commercial offices and studios, and occasionally will lend its expertise through consulting contracts.
