NYU Langone proposes ambulatory care conversion at former Pier 1 site; board asks for more detail on parking and staffing
Summary
NYU Langone presented a presubmission to convert a 19,200 sq. ft. former retail building on Montauk Highway into an ambulatory care center with radiology and primary care, about 28 employees and weekday hours; the planning board opened a 30‑day comment period and asked for more detail on parking, signage and staffing impacts.
At a June 11 presubmission conference, representatives for NYU Langone described plans to convert the former Pier 1 retail building at 54 Montauk Highway into an ambulatory care center with radiology, primary care, administrative offices and supportive services. The applicant said the building footprint (approximately 19,200 square feet) would remain unchanged and estimated about 28 employees working roughly Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–7 p.m., with no overnight patient stays.
Architect Christopher Korsch said the design team aims to preserve and celebrate the building’s existing trusses and proposed a wood‑look screen element to improve the facade while remaining sensitive to town character; he also noted structural remediation may be necessary on north and south sides.
Board members urged the applicant to refine plans for parking, circulation, signage and staffing because the area experiences seasonal and event‑driven traffic. "We're seeing a lot of different developments...just wondering if there are some details that you could share about NYU Langone's staffing plan," one board member said. The applicant replied that detailed staffing and operational plans will be provided with the formal application and that they will consider additional landscaping and signage to reduce the visual impact of front parking.
Action: The board closed the presubmission presentation and left a 30‑day written comment period for the public to submit feedback (motion by Glorian, second by Kate; vote 6‑0 with one absent). The applicant said more detailed site plans, parking layouts and signage proposals will be provided in a formal submission.
