}} The subdivision was created in 2010. Evergreen is projected to have a density of 8.6 units per acre, becoming one of the densest neighbourhoods in Saskatoon when complete.[https://thestarphoenix.com/business/density+dilemma/3649545/story.html The density dilemma]
Description
The Evergreen neighbourhood is planned to be built out in seven phases. Once complete, the following statistics are expected:[http://www.saskatoon.ca/DEPARTMENTS/Community%20Services/Land/Documents/Evergreen_Neighbourhood_Concept_Plan.pdf Evergreen Concept Plan ]{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
- 655 acres (including 42.12 acres of park land);
- 12,622 projected population;
- 5,712 units (2,021 single family units and 3,691 units).
The neighbourhood is named for two 50-year-old Scots Pines that were incorporated into the layout of the neighbourhood. These trees were originally part of the Sutherland Forest Nursery Station. The former Bridge City Speedway location was redeveloped as part of the neighbourhood.
The community is separated from neighbouring developments to the south by greenbelts provided by University of Saskatchewan agricultural land holdings and the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo.
As is standard in most recently developed Saskatoon communities{{Citation needed|date=February 2018}}, street names consist of assorted names recognizing Saskatoon citizens, with main core roads using the name of the community.
The first residential lots were offered for sale by the City of Saskatoon in 2010.
Evergreen will be the first large scale installation of LED street lights by Saskatoon Light & Power.{{cite web

Commercial
At present, Evergreen is too young a community to have any substantial commercial development. A district commercial hub is planned on the northeast side of Evergreen around the intersection of McOrmond Drive and Fedoruk Drive, but at present the closest major commercial to Evergreen is in the University Heights Suburban Centre to the south and in Aspen Ridge to the northeast.
