What do you get when you combine ocean-powered energy, recycled history, and a previously vacant contaminated site? One of the coolest eco-friendly hotels in St. John’s, Newfoundland!
This once-forgotten brownfield is now a sustainable hotel designed with the planet in mind — and it’s making waves in more ways than one:

  • Modular construction = less waste, less noise, and a smaller footprint
  • Geothermal heating & cooling powered by the ocean
  • Smart heat recovery systems & automated central switches
  • A boost to the local economy and a win for downtown revitalization

Led by Groupe Germain and Stantec Consulting Ltd., this project proves that thoughtful design can clean up the past and build a greener future. This project won a 2022 Brownie Award, find out more here
