A rendering has been revealed for 1578 Lexington Avenue, a 13-story medical office and community facility building in East Harlem, Manhattan. Designed by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects and developed by Slate Property Group and Evenhar Development Corporation, the project is slated to house Mount Sinai Health System programs across 150,000 square feet of space. The remaining portions of the building will feature the new East Harlem Center operated by Children’s Aid, covering nearly 19,000 square feet across the lower levels, as well as a new home for Life Changers Church on the ground and lower levels. The property is located at the corner of East 101st Street.
The rendering shows the structure beginning with a five-story podium clad in gray brick and lined with a black cornice. After the sixth-story setback, the building features an envelope of gray paneling and a distinctive sloped wall on the final two levels on the northern elevation. The structure culminates in a tall bulkhead spanning the full width of the property.
1578 Lexington Avenue is backed by $119 million in construction financing from J.P. Morgan and a $40 million preferred equity investment from GoldenTree Asset Management. The property is currently vacant, as seen in the below Google Street View image.

The closest subways from the site are the 6 train at 103rd Street and 96th Street stations, and the Q train at 96th Street on Second Avenue.
“1578 Lexington exemplifies our commitment to creating developments that serve the broader community,” said Oren Evenhar, president, Evenhar Development Corp. “The project introduces additional healthcare resources to the area while demonstrating how thoughtful real estate development can strengthen neighborhoods without displacing traditional community organizations that keep them running.”
Construction is set to begin this month, with completion and occupancy anticipated in spring 2028.

We’ll get lots of these on the eastern side of Central Park as the second avenue subway moves forward.
