The City of New York approved the hospital’s plan to build a clinic one story shorter than originally planned at 505-525 6th Street. New York Methodist is preparing to move forward with construction. The new six-story building will cover 486,000 square feet adjacent to the main hospital, and offer a wide array of high-quality outpatient services, which will allow for increased inpatient capacity in the existing hospital buildings.
To ensure that the building’s facade would be in keeping with the historic brownstone neighborhood, the design was developed with input from representatives of several Park Slope organizations.
Preparation for construction is in progress and is also proceeding with community input.
Separating the clinic services from the hospital setting will create “a more patient-centered environment that will help improve patient experience, operational efficiencies and care coordination,” according to the hospital.
In 2015, when the city approved zoning changes that would allow New York Methodist to build a new seven-story outpatient center in Park Slope’s brownstone neighborhood, community groups protested.
It got rid of the planned seventh floor, reducing the building's height by about 14 feet.
The project, designed by Perkins Eastman Architects, is slated to take three years to complete after construction begins, and will be funded through existing hospital funds and new debt.
