Memorial Sloan Kettering filed plans Tuesday to build on York Avenue a 600-foot tower they say will better allow them to provide superior treatment to cancer patients who need complex care, city records show.

The proposed MSK Pavilion would replace medical student housing and administrative offices at 1233 York Ave., near East 66th Street, with a 31-story complex, according to newly filed zoning documents.

If approved, the pavilion will total nearly 1 million square feet, with 28 operating suites and 202 inpatient beds, according to zoning documents.

Plans also include a skybridge across East 67th Street to connect the pavilion to MSK's main hospital, according to plans contingent on Transportation department approval.

The plans would also require rezoning approvals on York Avenue to allow for the size of the new building.

Quote:

If approved, the new pavilion would expand Memorial Sloan Kettering's already substantial presence in the neighborhood.

The world-renowned cancer center has eight facilities on the Upper East Side, not including its main York Avenue campus, which the new pavilion would join.

Memorial Sloan Kettering's most recent expansion was the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care, a distinctive 25-story facility completed in 2020, facing the East River between East 73rd and 74th streets.

In January, the hospital laid off more than 300 workers in response to poor economic outlooks.

The hospital will present its plans to the Community Board 8 Zoning Committee on Tuesday evening.

MSK Wants To Build Hospital Building Stalled By 9/11
Memorial Sloan Kettering is seeking to finish a zoning plan that was originally scheduled to be discussed on September 12, 2001.

By Peter Senzamici
Mar 30, 2023

Quote:

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presented their proposal Tuesday night to finally build a new hospital building that was in the works over 20 years ago, until the September 11 terror attacks forced them to shelve their plans.

….MSK came before Community Board Eight in an early-stage presentation, which mostly received a warm reception from board members who often made unfavorable comparisons to another large rezoning request from a Lexington Avenue hospital also currently in progress.

While applauding some aspects of the presentation, members voiced concerns over the size and bulk of the proposed building as well as worries that the demolition of a MSK-owned, 336-unit residential building currently at the site would add pressure to an already historically tight housing market in the neighborhood.

Quote:

Memorial Sloan Kettering's proposal, called the MSK Pavilion, has been in the works since 2001, representative said. It involves finishing a large-scale rezoning that the world famous cancer center was in the process of over 20 years ago.

Their zoning hearing was originally scheduled for September 12, 2001, and were subsequently asked to scale back their proposal to lighten the load for the city's Planning Department, which was overburdened with the task of rebuilding lower Manhattan.

"Obviously, that hearing never occurred," said Shelly Friedman, MSK's land use attorney.

"We voluntarily withdrew that application. It's totally addressed in the City Planning Commission report, that they expected us to come back at a time when the inpatient hospital was was more developed and evolved," Friedman said as he explained the background of the site's zoning history.

Quote:

Board members applauded what nearly everyone called an "excellent" presentation and quickly drew comparisons to a concurrent rezoning request from Lenox Hill Hospital at a site a few blocks north on Lexington Avenue.

That project, according to a February presentation to the same Community Board 8 committee, is slated to take 11 years to build. MSK predicts a max of six years to construct the Pavilion, with an opening date of 2030.

Board member Anthony Cohn said "God bless you," in comparison to the Lenox Hill timeline, a bulkier project by nearly 500,000 square feet.

"They're talking about twice as long for a building that is not significantly bigger at the end of the day," he said.

Cohn also applauded MSK for proposing more space-efficient hospital rooms, at 250-300 square feet each, and operating rooms ranging from 650-700 square feet.

Quote:

But members were still concerned with the building's size, which would be even taller than the 400-foot tall Lenox Hill Hospital building.

Board member Elizabeth Rose questioned if the hospital couldn't redevelop other MSK sites instead and have two smaller buildings at a First Avenue site instead of one looming tower, which she called "far preferable."

Hospital representatives said that the First Avenue site, the Schwartz Cancer Research Building — which was one of the building to emerge from the 2001 large-scale rezoning — was ruled out early on because the property contains facilities that couldn't be easily relocated, like radiology departments and the hospital's blood bank.

"That is the one building you do not want to see increase in height, too, if you're concerned about the shadows in St. Catharines," Friedman said, in a reference to another bruising neighborhood rezoning fight over the Blood Center.

"We did look very hard at our options, because quite honestly, we didn't want to have to take down the buildings that we're planning to take down," said acting hospital president, Dr. Jeff Drebin.

Quote:

Many members also expressed worry about the removal of residential units in the neighborhood. To build the Pavilion, MSK would be forced to demolish a 270-foot, 336-unit building which currently houses staff, medical and doctoral students for the hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center.

"Where are those people going?" asked Cohn.

Dr. Lisa DeAngelis, the chief medical officer at MSK who said she lives in the neighborhood and raised her family here, said that they have been anticipating the impact their plans will have on housing. MSK already purchased additional housing on Roosevelt Island, where the hospital has a building, she said. Additionally, MSK has two other residential locations in Lenox Hill and one in Yorkville.

But older residents, DeAngelis said, could be asked to move into market housing to ensure that younger workers and students have access to MSK-owned residential units.

Quote:

Ultimately both parties signaled a willingness to work through issues in the upcoming Community Board 8 MSK Task Force Meetings, five of which have already been planned, Cohn said.

"It's a problem and I think there are solutions that we can talk about during the during the task force," he added.

The first MSK Task Force meeting is scheduled for April 20.

If ever there was a tower worthy of going up, it's this one. Cancer touches all of our lives at some point or another. If more space is needed to fight the fight, so be it, at whatever height. Some things are more important than precious views.

I see a few walk-ups across the street and then, as you mentioned, a bunch of towers that are already there. Most of the residential towers that are tall enough to have a view "blocked" by this are so far away that it won't really matter. There are towers in NYC. That's part of the deal.

Foster has been getting a ton of work in NYC recently. I think the big jobs he’s been getting in NYC lately would have gone to the likes of SOM or KPF 10 years ago. F+P has really successfully established themselves in the city for a non-US firm. There was a job posting in Dezeen a few weeks back for architects in Foster’s NY office where they said the focus would be on skyscrapers and healthcare facilities in the US. I guess this would be the healthcare facility they were referring to.

MSK Set To Demolish Over 300-Plus Unit Building For New Tower
The cancer center filed plans this week to start demolition of a MSK-owned, 336-unit residential building, for a nearly 600-foot-tall tower.

https://patch.com/img/cdn20/users/26...jpg?width=1200

Quote:

If you live in Lenox Hill near York Avenue, you may soon hear the sounds of over 300 apartments disappearing from the neighborhood, to be replaced by a mega-tall cancer center.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center filed demolition plans this week to begin the work of taking down an MSK-owned, 308-unit residential building currently at the site of their future nearly 600-foot-tall medical tower at 1233 York Ave., between East 66th and 67th streets.

The tower, called the MSK Pavilion, will total nearly 1 million square feet, with 28 operating suites and 202 inpatient beds, according to zoning documents. It will sit squarely across the street to their current main hospital building and will be connected by a skybridge.

Quote:

According to the demolition permit, the 270-foot-tall residence, which housed staff, medical and doctoral students for the hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center, is currently unoccupied.

The permit states the demolition is estimated to cost MSK over $1.57 million.

When MSK presented their plans for the new medical tower last year, many Community Board 8 board members spoke out in support of the plans, comparing it favorably to the proposal of another massive hospital tower planned on Lexington Avenue.

Both of the two proposals require massive rezonings to allow for the projects to continue.

Many of those same supportive members also raised concerns that the demolition of the roughly 300 apartments would increase pressure on the already overheated housing market in the neighborhood.

"Where are those people going?" asked board member Anthony Cohn at the meeting last March.

Quote:

Over the following summer, Community Board 8 held a number of MSK Task Force meetings with representatives from the hospital, raising concerns about disruption to P.S. 183 — a school located just two buildings over on the same block — housing, the building's height, parking, shadows and a bevy of other issues.

MSK officials told the board that the hospital has invested in 200 additional housing units on Roosevelt Island, and that Weill Cornell has plans to build new, 272-unit medical student housing just blocks away.

In the final resolution of the task force, the board asked that MSK, among other things, replace "all housing" on the current site with new housing units in the neighborhood.

According to MSK's zoning application, the proposal could be certified by the city's planning commission within the next 30 days.

After the city certifies the proposal, the project formally enters the land-use review process, which includes community, city council, borough president and mayoral approvals.

MSK is currently scheduled present to Community Board 8 on April 24.

It would be the second tallest according to Wikipedia.

Toronto also has a massive hospital building proposed, but not quite as tall as this:

Toronto's would be 554ft tall, but also a larger building than this, as it would have a floor area of about 2.6 million SF:

This is being designed by Sir Norman Foster, so should be pretty cool architecturally.

It's only the second tallest planned hospital building in this neighborhood. Lenox Hill plans an even taller hospital tower, though the NIMBYs will fight it.

Also, that news article is silly typical NIMBYism. Tower is as-of-right, the NIMBYs can't do anything. The article implies the tower is eliminating 300 units of housing, which is false. It's replacing an empty medical dorm, which has already been replaced, so isn't removing any units of housing. And those housing units were never available to the public anyways.

Supposedly the main hospital site (the block just to the north) will be redeveloped once this tower is complete. So the UES will likely get two major new medical towers.

This is great news for medical care, as Memorial Sloan Kettering is pretty much the best cancer hospital on the planet.

The founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, Griffin and fellow-billionaire David Geffen donated $400 million to the cancer center in 2023, the largest philanthropic gift in the hospital’s history.

The new pavilion, a 31-story building connected to the hospital between East 66th and 67th Streets, will be entirely dedicated to patient care. In September, Memorial Sloan Kettering secured the City Council’s approval to rezone the site, a key step allowing the project to advance.

Memorial Sloan Kettering lowers height of proposed tower months after rezoning

ETHAN GERINGER-SAMETH
June 4, 2025

Quote:

Memorial Sloan Kettering’s new tower on East 67th Street will be 76 feet shorter than previously planned, the cancer center said, even after winning the approval of the Council to build higher last year. The move follows ongoing negotiations with the local City Council member and community board, who wanted a lower profile, even after endorsing the higher design.

Previously conceived as a 557-foot specialty hospital, the new project will be 481 feet with a shorter frame more in line with the wishes of outspoken residents, including members of Community Board 8 and Council Member Julie Menin. The reduced height will not mean a reduction in bed count and will offer the same level of services, the health system said in a statement.

Quote:

The system looked for new ways to reduce the height following a request from Menin, despite already receiving her support for the project. The reduction will mitigate the impact of construction on the neighborhood while lowering the building’s environmental impact, she said in a statement. When she approved the rezoning, which allowed for as much as 598 feet, it was understood that the health system would continue to explore ways to lower the height without sacrificing services, Menin told Crain’s.

“If this had been affordable housing it would be the same thing,” said Menin, who is facing a primary challenger this year and is widely expected to run to be Council Speaker next year. “The last thing I want to do is tell the developer to cut the building height in half. Then we would have a miniscule amount of affordable housing being built in our community. It is possible to do two contrary things at the same time.”

The height is unlikely to change again, according to Menin. “This is it,” she said.

The downscaling comes as many hospital systems brace for reductions in the face of economic headwinds and looming funding cuts from the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress. Multiple hospitals and academic institutions, including New York-Presbyterian, Columbia University and Catholic Health, have announced layoffs to mitigate the impact of the current climate. The price of steel, a critical component of construction, and other materials is expected to rise in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, including a 25-50% hike on tariffs on steel imports announced Friday.

These people are sick. Why is a 500-foot hospital better than a 600-foot hospital? Now the space not built will eventually be built somewhere else, and you'll complain about that.

Also, you live in the Upper East Side, which is denser than any other neighborhood in the Western world. Pretty sure you're in the wrong place if you think urban density is a bad thing.

And why would some nearby grannies living in forever rent-controlled housing have the right to dictate the medical needs of what is arguably the planet's leading cancer hosptial? Absurd.

Inside the High-Rise Hospital of the Future

https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/27287...e1433813de3875

Oct 04, 2025

Quote:

Anew skyscraper is joining the skyline on New York City's Upper East Side. With a modern exterior and a glossy, glassy sheen, it looks like it'll fit right in—from the outside.

But when the building opens its doors in 2030, something will distinguish it from the other towers that stretch toward the ceiling of Manhattan. It won't hold corporate offices or hotel rooms, tourist-trap skydecks or luxury apartments.

This building will be a hospital: a state-of-the-art cancer center that honors its purpose without contorting itself into conventional molds. That's what the team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is going for, although the roughly $2.3 billion project won't be an easy undertaking.

The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center will stand at 481 feet tall upon a relatively small, 25,000-square-foot foundation. Connected by a skybridge to the system's existing hospital, it will extend inpatient capabilities by 208 beds while keeping close to the research, lab and clinical capabilities of the world-renowned original.

Quote:

In the past, health care architects designed buildings from the outside in. This creates different shapes and sizes for the rooms on the inside, and doesn't always address the operational and functional needs of the space, according to Suzen Heeley, MSK's executive director of design. She wanted to reverse that thinking for the Pavilion, centering the interior experience over the facade.

The team started by interviewing patients, caregivers and staff members of all different backgrounds, considering ethnicities, gender identities, income levels, technological familiarity, native languages and more to capture a true "cross section" of the health system's population, Heeley told Newsweek. This informed four design "guideposts"—lenses through which all decisions are made to ensure they're consistent with the project's goals.

Quote:

MSK intends to extend patient empowerment into the individual rooms. They can control the intensity of the lighting, the temperature and the shades on the windows. Outlets are placed in strategic, easy-to-reach locations so people don't have to "climb under things or sit on the floor, like at the airport," Heeley said. There is a sleeper sofa for overnight visitors with a table they can work at, equipped with an adjustable reading light in case they'd like to work or read while their loved one is resting.

Smart TVs in each room will list the patients' agenda for the day and allow them to order food. They can also display virtual consultations with clinicians and equip faraway loved ones to join in on the conversation.

Plus, every employee, physician and visitor will wear a RFID badge that automatically displays their name and title on the patients' TV when they enter the room, so the patient never has to wonder who they're talking to.

Outside of the room, digital screens will display pertinent patient information to the clinicians (is the patient at risk of falls? Are they prone to infection that would require nurses to wear protective gear?) so they are fully prepared for the interaction before it happens.

Quote:

In the 27-story Pavilion, all patient rooms will have natural light and a bird's-eye view of the city. The design team is working to incorporate other elements of the natural world into the interior, Heeley said.

"We're in New York City, so it's not as easy to have these beautiful terraces that I see at facilities in California," she said. "We have to figure out ways to bring that nature indoors in a way, through artwork or through video, or however we choose to do that, but that connection to nature is so important."

MSK conducted research with their architects to see how people biometrically responded to the use of wood and color in a space, and they plan to reflect those findings in the design. Since there are no 90-degree angles in nature, the rooms and facilities incorporate curves wherever possible: "The human brain kind of reacts to sharp angles as a warning or a risk," Heeley said.

Quote:

n addition, the Pavilion will add new operating rooms that are roomy enough for the latest, greatest surgical robots, and are wired for high-speed internet and data transmission. Robotic surgery requires a surgeon to sit at a console in the operating room, at a distance from the operating table—which isn't always possible in standard-sized spaces.

"We have a number of rooms that really aren't adequate for robotics in the current [hospital]," Drebin said. "All the rooms in the new Pavilion will have the capacity to have the latest surgical robots."

Looking to the future also requires MSK to consider environmental sustainability, according to Koford. They're focused on obtaining an EPA Lead Certification and have made a number of design choices to keep the Pavilion "green." For example, they selected triple-glazed glass for the exterior, which optimizes heat retention, so the building doesn't just rely on air conditioning units to keep its interior cool. They have also included modern building management systems that will monitor for energy inefficiencies.

Koford also hopes to outperform industry peers on the Pavilion's kBTU intensity rating, which measures a building's energy consumption relative to its size.

Building points 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are filed as if the BMU is in operation to represent the maximum possible height of the building footprint. When the BMU is not in use, the highest point of the building is at the top of a bulkhead, shown as point 5, at 529' AGL/559' AMSL.

The heights filed include a 10-foot buffer to account to for potential variances in construction. The construction also includes a pedestrian bridge connection across E 67 Street to the existing hospital at 1275 York Ave, at approximately 145' AMSL. The existing building on site has been demolished. Crane(s) will be filed at a later date.
