Façade installation is continuing on the Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion, a 15-story medical facility for Lenox Hill Hospital at 1345 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Ennead Architects and developed by Northwell Health and The University Financing Foundation, the 215-foot-tall structure will yield 200,000 square feet of outpatient treatment space for 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 77th Street.
The reinforced concrete superstructure was built to its pinnacle since our last update in early August, when construction was closing in on the final stories and exterior work had yet to commence. Recent photos show the majority of the building enclosed in its façade of floor-to-ceiling glass on the broad western elevation and gray paneling with horizontal bands of windows on the narrower northern and southern faces. The final level of the main lower volume and upper stories above the setback have yet to be enclosed, as has the first floor, which remains obscured by the sidewalk shed. Based on the pace of progress, the remaining exterior work could wrap up before the end of the year.
The Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion will offer care for numerous cancer types including breast, gastrointestinal, colorectal, gynecologic oncology, head and neck, 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 and Throat Hospital at 210 East 64th Street.
The nearest subway from the new development is the local 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.

As of today, cancer still cannot be cured, right? I only go to the hospital when I’m sick: Thanks.
There are many caners that can be cured.
That glass facade looks great!
