White Plains Hospital Physician Associates has started opening its new offices at the former Lord & Taylor department store building in Eastchester. There will be several phased openings over the next few months. The hospital has leased space in the building that has a total of about 215,000 square feet on three floors at 750 White Plains Road.
Offices for the practice of Obstetrics & Gynecology and also Othopedics have been the first to open in the new multi-specialty outpatient facility. The new facility is housing White Plains Hospital Physician Associates of Scarsdale and ultimately will house approximately 40 providers offering a wide range of specialties and including imaging and diagnostic testing services. The total space, variously described as encompassing 70,000 or 75,000 square feet, is due to be fully operational by October.
White Plains Hospital is part of the Montefiore Health System. Burke Rehabilitation, also part of Montefiore, opened its latest outpatient practice at the Eastchester location in April.
“The opening of this new outpatient center, our 34th in the Hudson Valley, underscores our commitment to bring high-quality, comprehensive care close to home for our community,” said Frances Bordoni, executive vice president of Ambulatory and Physician Services and Business Development at White Plains Hospital. “By expanding access to a broad range of specialties in one convenient location, we’re making it easier for patients and their families to get the care they need.”
The Business Journal recently reported that building owner LT Eastchester has five new tenants lined up who will occupy a total of 56,000 square feet of space in the former Lord & Taylor building. Attorney Bob Davis of the Mount Kisco-based law firm Singleton, Davis & Singleton PLLC, said, “Two of the five new tenants will be nationally-known retailers: William Sonoma and Pottery Barn Kids.” He said the restaurants CAVA and Tatte Bakery and Café have would be taking space in the building. The fifth new tenant would be Equinox Scarsdale Club.
It had been reported by an executive of the property owner that White Plains Hospital might take vacant space on the third floor of the former department store building to use for administrative purposes. He said the property owner plans to build an elevator tower that will allow people to enter on the east side of the building and go directly up to the third floor.
