Foundation work is progressing for 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. JB&B is the MEP engineer, Severud Associates is the structural engineer, and Lendlease is the general contractor for the $450 million project, which is located in Lenox Hill between East 76th and East 77th Streets.
Excavation concluded since our last update in early July, when crews were still working to unearth the sprawling site, following the demolition of six partially vacant structures that formerly occupied it. Recent photographs show the reinforced concrete foundation slab and perimeter walls fully formed and some of the lower cellar levels under construction. A tower crane has also been erected in preparation for the building’s climb above street level, which could begin before the end of spring. Additional machinery is being used to hoist pieces of rebar and concrete formwork into the site.

The Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion will offer care for numerous cancer types including breast, gastrointestinal, colorectal, gynecologic oncology, head and neck, neurosurgery, and thoracic. In the meantime, surgery and inpatient care in Manhattan will continue to be provided by other affiliated hospitals, including the neighboring Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital at 210 East 64th Street.
The nearest subway is the 6 train at the 77th Street station to the west along Lexington Avenue.
1345 Third Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for the spring of 2026, as noted on site.

If talking about health or congenital disease of each person, there will be more or less concern: Thanks to Michael Young.
With the huge medical centers of NYU, Cornell, Memeorial, mad Mount Sinai only a few blocks away, don’t know why the East Side need another massive hospital.
Northwell Lenox Hill is foolish to try to compete with MSK. You will never be able to beat the renowned cancer center in the world that is blocks away. You will be considered second-rate in comparison. Your named donor will be embarrassed to see his name on the door.
Not everyone can afford the Rolls-Royce of cancer treatment—some will be thankful for the Honda Civic cancer treatment.
For the same reason they build more luxury apartment buildings on the East Side.
Pavillion is a term for hospitals dating back to the U.S. Civil War.
The word Pavillion is meant to evoke a sense of community.
Look to the height of the IBM Building at East 57th Street and Madison Avenue: there you will see a preview of the NEXT new Pavillion scheduled to impact a residential neighborhood’s quality of life, the MSK Pavillion, the tallest Tower to come on York Ave between East 66th and East 67th Street.
Out of human scale for any community. Look up at the IBM building height and you will quickly understand.
Considering how fugly most new hospital construction is, I think this counts as comparatively attractive.
“Excavation concluded since our last update in early July, when crews were still working to unearth the sprawling site, following the demolition of six partially vacant structures that formerly occupied it.”
Shouldn’t they have held off demolition until the structures were completely vacant?
Grossly out of place on the Upper West Side. -Jim
This is upper EAST side Jim.
The hospital-ification of the Upper East Side continues
