Demolition Prep Underway for MSK Hospital Skyscraper at 1233 York Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
The 16th-tallest building on YIMBY’s year-end construction countdown is MSK Pavilion, a forthcoming 594-foot-tall inpatient hospital building at 1233 York Avenue in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed in collaboration by CannonDesign and Foster + Partners and developed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), the 31-story structure will yield 900,000 square feet of cancer care and surgery facilities. Demolition is currently underway on the current occupant of the site, a 23-story building that formerly housed medical student residences and administrative offices. The property is bound by East 67th Street to the north, East 66th Street to the south, and York Avenue and Rockefeller University to the east.
