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.

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.
