945 Princess is a former industrial facility brought back to life by Modern Niagara as a showcase for sustainable redevelopment. Rather than demolish and rebuild, the team retrofitted the structure, preserving embodied carbon, improving energy efficiency, and extending the building’s life. The project was made possible through support from the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the City of Kingston, and Kingston Economic Development.
Today, 945 Princess serves as a home for emerging technologies, and visionary businesses. It’s a purpose-built space where bold ideas take root, offering the infrastructure and environment needed to tackle real-world challenges.
