NYU Langone Health has selected engineering and construction management firm STV to oversee delivery of a new ambulatory surgery center planned for downtown West Palm Beach, an eight-story facility designed to serve as many as 150,000 patient visits a year. The project calls for space for 50 physicians alongside imaging, outpatient surgery, endoscopy, and physical therapy services, according to the seed facts behind this report.
STV will provide owner’s project management services across the project’s full lifecycle, according to Construction Owners, which reported the firm will oversee design coordination, construction management, budgeting, and facility activation, while aligning clinical, facilities, construction and technology teams. STV’s healthcare portfolio includes work on the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital Tower, St. Joseph’s Totowa Health Campus, and UMass Memorial Health’s standalone emergency department, per the same outlet. The firm’s selection follows NYU Langone Health’s broader push to expand its outpatient footprint in the West Palm Beach area.
The center is funded in large part by a $75 million gift from the Julia Koch Family Foundation, according to nyulangone.org. NYU Langone describes the planned facility as an eight-story building with room for 50 physicians and capacity to serve 150,000 patients annually. A separate NYU Langone location page lists services that will include primary and specialty care, physical therapy, radiology, and outpatient surgery, along with two operating rooms, two endoscopy suites, and 16 recovery bays.
Conflicting Figures on Size, Address and Timeline
Exactly how big the project is depends on which account you read. NYU Langone’s own announcement cited 77,000 square feet of clinical space, while Commercial Observer reported that the approved development calls for a seven-story medical building spanning 181,492 square feet, including 76,362 square feet of medical offices. Suffolk Construction, which says it was selected to provide construction management services for the project, describes it as a 183,000-square-foot medical office building and ambulatory surgical care center. None of these figures have been reconciled in available records.
The address is similarly unsettled. NYU Langone’s initial announcement placed the new site at 324 Datura Street, while the organization’s own location page lists the facility at 370 Datura Street, West Palm Beach. The announcement said the center would open in 2026.
A Growing Footprint in Palm Beach County
NYU Langone has been building out its Florida presence for years. The health system said demand for its New York-caliber care has continued growing since it first arrived in Florida in 2017, according to Bisnow, which noted the new center will sit less than half a mile from an existing NYU medical building that opened that year. The system already operates an outpatient office at 101 North Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach, as reported by Commercial Observer, which also reported that New York University paid $33 million for the site of the planned medical building and that an existing 68,811-square-foot office building there was expected to be demolished to make way for it.
Back in 2022, NYU Langone said it was broadening access to primary and specialty care across southeast Florida, including Palm Beach County, per WFMZ/PR Newswire, which noted the system had recently introduced orthopedics and women’s health services and expanded its medical weight-loss program in the county. NYU Langone has said the new center’s expanded clinical practices are intended to improve access and reduce wait times for patients, and the system currently operates multiple medical and rehabilitation locations throughout Palm Beach County, according to its own location listings.
Construction Details From the Build Team
Contractor Liberty, which has worked on the broader expansion, describes it as a 181,000-square-foot mixed-use project featuring a four-story parking garage alongside a three-story healthcare building, and says it has completed approximately 8,000 cubic yards of concrete placement for those components. That figure offers a glimpse into the scale of work already underway on the site, even as the project’s final dimensions, address, and opening date remain inconsistent across official and contractor accounts. For now, STV’s role as owner’s project manager positions it to coordinate the remaining design, construction, and activation work needed to bring the facility online.
