Curtain Wall Installation Nears Completion on The Hospital For Special Surgery’s Expansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
Construction is nearing topping out on the Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion, formerly called the Northwell Medical Pavilion, a 15-story medical facility for Lenox Hill Hospital at 1345 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Ennead Architects with EwingCole as the medical architect and developed by Northwell Health and The University Financing Foundation, the 200,000-square-foot outpatient center will stand nearly 215 feet tall and offer specialized cancer care services, imaging and lab testing, cardiac care, neuroscience programs, a sleep study center, acute and chronic disease management, social work services, and more. The $450 million project is located in Lenox Hill between East 76th and East 77th Streets.
A significant amount of progress has occurred since our last update in early April, when work was still finishing up on the foundations and the tower crane had recently been erected in preparation for vertical construction. Recent photograph show the monolithic building rising over the neighborhood with its long rectangular massing growing more prominent with the gradual rise of the yellow safety cocoon system. Façade installation has yet to begin, but could likely start before the end of summer once the building tops out.
