The Ventin Group Ltd. is pleased to announce that it will be Prime Consultant and Architect for the restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic Toronto Power Generating Station at Niagara Falls. “This is the most important commission in our firm’s 50-year history,” says +VG Architects President and Managing Principal Paul Sapounzi.
+VG Architects was the design leader for the winning proposal submitted by Pearle Hospitality to Niagara Parks Commission for a transformational $200 million-plus private-sector investment to restore the National Historic Site while creating an unparalleled visitor experience, including the first five-star boutique hotel at the falls, befitting its location overlooking iconic Horseshoe Falls.
Opened in 1906 to supply hydroelectric power to the Toronto market and mothballed since 1974, the palatial powerhouse was designed by Toronto-based architect E. J. Lennox (1854-1933), best-known for Toronto Old City Hall and Casa Loma.
“The sheer scale of Toronto Power is unrivalled by any other Beaux-Arts-style building in Canada other than Toronto's Union Station,” says Robert G. Hill, author of The Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada: 1800-1950—and Toronto Power boasts finer and more prolific detailing.
Upon opening in 2027, the 300,000-square-foot powerhouse redevelopment will provide a world-class visitor experience unlike anything currently offered in the destination or the province, including the first and only five-star boutique accommodation at Niagara Falls, a variety of culinary offerings, multiple indoor and outdoor free public viewing areas, a craft brewery, a wellness and social spa, theatre, museum and art gallery and event space.
Pearle Hospitality has converted several notable heritage properties across the province into upmarket tourism destinations, including Elora Mill Hotel and Spa, Cambridge Mill and Ancaster Mill.
+VG Architects has extensive experience working with Niagara Parks Commission, most recently as Architect of Record in the adaptive reuse of a neighboring decommissioned generating plant into Niagara Parks Power Station, an educational and entertainment destination that brings the magic of electricity and its history alive. The project won the 2021 Lieutenant Governor’s Heritage Award for Excellence in Conservation and the 2022 Niagara Biennial Design Awards Grand Prize.
