Massive White Plains Hospital Expansion Breaks Ground

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The future of White Plains Hospital is a step closure to being realized, after the builder celebrated a key milestone.

The builder, Suffolk has announced the groundbreaking of White Plains Hospital's new hospital expansion. The 10-story, approximately 500,000-square-foot expansion promises to provide a state-of-the-art facility for the Hudson Valley's more than two million residents, when open in 2028.

Suffolk, known for its innovative construction methods and track record managing complex healthcare projects, said the expansion will increase licensed bed capacity from 292 to 436, ultimately adding 240 private rooms, 144 of which will open in 2028. The expansion will create a dedicated operating room floor with space for 10 additional state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with the latest technology to support the increasingly complex care the hospital has built its reputation on.

The project will more than double the size of the hospital's emergency department.

"This expansion is a landmark healthcare project for Westchester County and beyond that will greatly improve access to care," Suffolk's Joseph Whalen said. "Our team is proud to bring Suffolk's innovative technology, data-driven processes, and client-focused approach to deliver a seamless construction experience and help redefine how America builds."

Suffolk's other notable projects in the region include the Waldorf Astoria restoration, One High Line, and 520 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan; Hatch Life Sciences and Jamaica Armory in Queens; The Brook in Brooklyn; and South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore.

"This expansion will help us continue to bring advanced, high-quality care closer to home for our patients," said Joshua Strugatz, Chief Campus Transformation Officer at White Plains Hospital. "We have been very mindful of creating a facility that will address the current needs of our community, while anticipating where medicine will go in the future. Suffolk has been an exceptional partner—collaborative, innovative and committed to delivering a facility that will truly serve our community."
