Ground Breaking was held July 18th:


Excavation by end of this summer

I'm not sure why it will take til Summer of 2028 to open this; clearly construction is not being managed by Centrecourt!

...in Niagara, where development goes to wear clown shoes. Whether it be pipe dreamed 70 story hotels, a theme park of a dodgy tenure and now a hospital in the middle of no where that has a surface parking lot that has taken up an entire field. /sigh
 
Locating that surface level helipad on the roof would be a much better option.

In May, construction moved above the ground level as work began on the superstructure of the $3.6-billion, 12-storey, 1.3-million-square-feet facility.

“We’re pouring a lot of concrete right now, so we’re in the throes of our structural work,” said Robin Jervis, general superintendent at EllisDon. “We’re working on level one and level two and level three all at the same time.”

Ben Embir, director planning and design with the South Niagara Hospital Project team, said there is a four-year construction period, followed by commissioning and move in. The project is slated to reach substantial completion in early 2028 and so far it’s on schedule and on budget.
...
“It’s a design-build project so we’ve completed the 100 per cent design development phase and we’re currently working on the 50 per cent construction document phase,” said Mike Dunford, senior project manager at EllisDon. “We should have that ready in October. We’ve done seven rounds of user group meetings with Niagara Health to finalize the design and there’s one more round to go.”
...
Excavation for the foundation and basement level is now complete but it was a bit challenging. About 1,250 steel piles were inserted into the bedrock to support the building foundation.
