Major healthcare expansion in Manhattan will add advanced surgical and inpatient capacity while maintaining uninterrupted hospital operations.

Highlights

• Turner Construction Company and Consigli Construction Co., Inc. were selected to build The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
• The project will expand cancer treatment capacity on MSK’s Manhattan campus.
• The new facility will include 12 operating suites and 208 private inpatient rooms.
• Construction is expected to continue through 2030 while the hospital remains operational.
• The project reflects ongoing demand for specialized healthcare infrastructure and complex urban medical construction.

A joint venture between Turner Construction Company and Consigli Construction Co., Inc. has been selected to deliver a major cancer care expansion project for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan.

The firms will provide construction services for The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion, a new patient care facility planned for MSK’s main campus in New York City. The development is designed to support growing demand for advanced cancer treatment and increasingly technology-driven healthcare services.

According to project details released by the companies, the pavilion will include 12 operating suites and 208 single-occupancy inpatient beds dedicated to patient care. The facility is intended to help expand the institution’s ability to handle more complex cases while supporting future healthcare delivery needs.

Construction is scheduled for completion in 2030 and will occur while the existing hospital campus remains fully operational, adding another layer of complexity to the project. Large healthcare expansions in dense urban environments often require extensive coordination involving patient safety, infection control, logistics management and phased construction planning.

What This Means For Construction Owners

For construction owners and healthcare developers, the project highlights continued investment in specialized medical infrastructure as hospitals modernize facilities to support advanced treatment technologies and rising patient volumes.

The project also reflects ongoing demand for contractors with experience in technically challenging healthcare construction, particularly in occupied hospital environments where uninterrupted operations remain critical throughout the build process.

Healthcare construction has remained one of the more resilient institutional sectors despite broader market volatility, driven by aging facilities, technological advancements and long-term demand for outpatient and inpatient care expansion.

Project leaders said the construction team will coordinate closely with city agencies, state stakeholders and local community representatives throughout development to minimize disruptions and maintain safety standards around the active medical campus.
