In July 2025, the South Niagara Hospital Project marked two full years of construction. Watch the video to get a behind-the-fence look at the incredible progress to date.
Momentum continues with the South Niagara Hospital project. After the groundbreaking ceremony in July 2023, our partners EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare have been making incredible progress with construction on the 1.3-million-square-foot hospital. This state-of-the-art facility will take approximately five years to build, with opening planned for 2028.
Since March 2020 we have undergone significant consultation and engagement with staff, physicians, patients and community partners to design the new South Niagara Hospital, which will be located at the corner of Montrose and Biggar roads in Niagara Falls. There are over 15,000 pages of criteria detailing the site and building design, operational, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and facilities management requirements, along with technical specifications for the new hospital. That’s over 15,000 pages of planning and design documents based on direct input provided.
We recognize that now, more than ever, the infrastructure of a hospital is an essential component in ensuring we have the capacity to respond to, and roll out effective infection prevention and control measures. With the challenges of new and emerging infectious diseases, as well as higher public expectations and awareness of healthcare related issues, Niagara Health is leveraging the lessons learned and applying them into the development of the new hospital.
We are well positioned and are working to ensure that we are capturing the information we need to build a facility that delivers the highest quality of care for our patients and reflects the needs of the Niagara community.

Jessica Mottola wears a lot of different hats for her role on Niagara Health's Redevelopment Team, but a hard hat isn’t always one of them.
Construction isn't the only work happening on the South Niagara Hospital Project. Our teams are also working on Operational Readiness- the planning to ensure the organization, people and systems are fully prepared to safely and effectively operate the new hospital.
When it opens in 2028, all 475 patient rooms in the South Niagara Hospital will be single occupancy, a design decision that will not only help improve the patient experience, but will also support infection prevention and control.
