Company plans three high-rises on Loretto property

From the Niagara Falls Review:

One of the most historic sites in Niagara Falls could become one of the biggest hotel developments the city has ever seen.

Owners of the old Loretto Christian Life Centre want city council’s approval to put three high-rise towers on the 7.6-acre property now occupied by the 148-year-old school and its park-like grounds. The next-door neighbours, an order of Roman Catholic priests, however, say they’re concerned about the “immensity” of the project and what it would do to their “oasis.”

Romzap, a company co-owned by Tony Zappitelli, wants to build a 57-storey hotel and two other towers – one 42-storeys and a second at 32 storeys on land the Loretto Sisters, a Roman Catholic order of nuns, used to own. The site has a commanding view of the falls to the east, and the Niagara Convention and Civic Centre is being constructed on the other side of Stanley Avenue.

  1. I like change and progress…go for it,and while you’re at it, do something about the north-west corner of Dunn and Stanley

  2. build it! calgary is slowing down bring the ontario workers back home! lots of developements being made in niagara region.. hospital in st.kitts and convention centre why not build 3 more towers..sounds like ontario is ready to step up for a face lift and hoping to attract more people by doing so

  3. Tall buildings look much more impressive, but why not build just two very tall buildings totalling the same amount of floors, for example 60 and 70 floors? That much less groundwork.

  4. i like the idea, but y not build just one really tall tower, say 79 floors and save the other spaces for the future incase u want to build again.
