$250M New York Hospital Plan Nears Approval Vote

WHITE PLAINS-A plan to build a $265-million biomedical research and cancer treatment facility on the grounds of New York-Presbyterian Hospital could be voted on by the White Plains Common Council in a few weeks.

By John Jordan | Updated on July 14, 2002

WHITE PLAINS-New York-Presbyterian Hospital’s proposal to build a $265 million biomedical research and cancer treatment facility could come up for a vote by the White Plains Common Council on Aug. 5.

Recently, in an attempt to offer alternatives to the City of White Plains, in addition to moving forward with its plan to build two, 192,000-sf buildings on property adjacent to Bryant Avenue, the hospital has recently proposed two new sites for its proposed plan. The alternate sites would involve either the construction of one, 384,000-sf building, or the development of a large building to house biomedical research operations and a smaller structure to house a “Center for Advanced Proton Technology.” The facility would utilize proton beam accelerator technology, which is used for cancer diagnosis and treatment. There are currently only two such facilities nationwide.

The White Plains Common Council, which recently designated the hospital’s environmental submittals as complete, could decide on the venture’s site plan application at its next meeting on Aug. 5. Thereafter, while some other approvals may be necessary, the hospital would basically be able to move forward and plan for construction and take steps necessary to obtain financing.
