Concrete continues to be poured every day at the new St. Paul’s Hospital near Station Street. The concrete floors on levels P4, P3, and P2 of the underground parkade have now been poured, and we’re 30% through pouring floors for P1.

In 2023, you’ll really start to see the hospital take shape above ground. It’ll be a few more years of construction before the new hospital is expected to complete in 2026 and open to patients in 2027.
