Renderings from INOA Architecture are the first to reveal a new seven-story mixed-use building at 308 East 59th Street in Sutton Place, Manhattan. Located immediately next to the Queensboro Bridge onramp, the building will house a mix of hospital outpatient facilities with specialized medical spaces above.

Plans for the structure were first revealed in 2015 from local developer Tony Boemi. Original renderings from C3D Architecture depicted a 16-story building with 12 rental apartments and a 2,000-square-foot retail space on the ground floor. This, however, never broke ground.

Here, the new renderings by INOA Architecture show a building with a distinct glass façade with folds and cantilevers. Obtaining maximum light exposure is clearly a distinguishing feature of the space. Its top floor takes the shape of a trapezoidal volume.

According to New York Yimby, construction of the new building is expected to begin this summer and conclude by the end of 2023. Permits have reportedly been approved by the Department of Buildings, the Department of Transit, and the City Planning Commission.
