Earlier this week, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) filed plans to construct the MSK Pavilion, a new 31-story 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, the structure could rise up to 594 feet tall and yield 900,000 square feet for inpatient clinical care (cancer care and surgery). The MSK Pavilion will replace an old building housing medical student residences and administrative offices on a plot bound by East 67th Street to the north, East 66th Street to the south, and York Avenue and Rockefeller University to the east.

Pratt Institute Files for 10-Story, 124-Room Student Dormitory at 135 Emerson Place, Clinton Hill

The Pratt Institute has filed applications for a 10-story, 124-room student dormitory at 135 Emerson Place, in Clinton Hill, located three blocks north of the Classon Avenue stop on the G train. It will measure 74,725 square feet, and dorm units should average a relatively spacious 459 square feet apiece. Student amenities will include laundry facilities and storage for 35 bikes, plus student lounges and an art studio. The building will also feature a retail store on the ground floor, but no commercial space is listed in the application. Carisima Koenig’s Midtown-based Cannon Design is the architect of record. Pratt acquired the vacant 34,700-square-foot property for $13 million back in 2012. The site could accommodate a building with 96,906 square feet of residential space, according to The Real Deal, which means 39,963 square feet of air rights will be left over if the latest plans are built.
