Construction recently broke ground on a ten-story expansion of the White Plains Hospital at 41 East Post Road in White Plains, Westchester County. Designed by Boston-based Payette, the 475,000-square-foot annex will increase the hospital’s bed capacity from 292 to 436. The expansion will also add ten more operating suites and 25,000 square feet to the Emergency Department, more than doubling its current scope. The site is bound by East Post Road to the north, Maple Street to the south, Davis Road to the east, and South Lexington Avenue to the west.
The renderings in the main photo and below preview the new facility’s façade composed of a glass curtain wall framed by warm gray cementitious paneling. The structure will rise from a short podium along East Post Road surrounded by new tree-lined sidewalks. Signage for the property will be positioned on both ends of the tenth floor.

The hospital expansion will add 240 private rooms, 144 of which will open in 2028. The facility will also include a pediatric emergency department.
“This expansion will help us continue to bring advanced, high-quality care closer to home for our patients,” said Joshua Strugatz, chief campus transformation officer at White Plains Hospital. “We have been very mindful of creating a facility that will address the current needs of our community, while anticipating where medicine will go in the future.”
Construction is estimated to cost $750 million, with $250 million sourced from revenue and philanthropy.
The new facility is expected to serve the Hudson Valley’s more than 2 million residents when it opens in 2028.

I most respectfully ask White Plains Hospital and the design architect to include the building address on the building facade near the top so that we can see the address while looking for
space to park because some buildings have Post Road address while others will have Maple Avenue or South Lexington Avenue or Longview Street. For us, senior citizens, it is very difficult to find the appropriate entrances. Recently I had a problem finding the correct
address and had to walk around to get the right entrance.
