Final Structural Concrete Pour Marks Major Milestone for South Niagara Hospital Project

Posted Dec 3rd, 2025

The South Niagara Hospital Project continues to achieve another major milestone. Crews have completed the final structural concrete pour- a significant step towards completion of the superstructure work on the 12-storey building. We are now only a few months away from raising the final structural beam.

As a defining moment, this milestone celebrates the progress, precision and teamwork behind bringing one of Ontario’s most advanced hospitals to life. It acknowledges the hard work of more than 900 tradespeople, engineers, architects and project staff who have played a role in advancing the project to where it is today.

"We are proud of the progress we have made to date, with each step bringing us closer to opening a modern, state-of-the-art healthcare facility.”

“Completing the last superstructure concrete pour is a significant milestone for our project and coincides with crossing the midway point of the project timeline,” says Patrick Topping, Director Transaction and Construction on the South Niagara Hospital Redevelopment Team. “The progress we’re seeing on the project reflects years of collaboration, careful planning and tremendous effort from all our teams and the hundreds of construction workers bringing it to life. We are proud of the progress we have made to date, with each step bringing us closer to opening a modern, state-of-the-art healthcare facility.”

With design development work complete, we are seeing steady advancements in construction activities and operational planning.

Since breaking ground in summer 2023, work on the 1.3-million-square-foot facility has advanced significantly. While crews are forming the top floor of the building, work is underway on the mechanical and electrical systems, interior partitions and exterior cladding. Inside, activity continues from the ground floor to the upper levels.

The South Niagara Hospital is on track to open in 2028, supporting Niagara Health’s commitment to connected, patient-centred care across the region.


A special THANK YOU to the 900+ workers on site each day who are building the South Niagara Hospital.

We are grateful for your contributions and all the work that you do.
