Zane Upturn, representing Friends of the Upper East Side, expresses concerns about the proposed Memorial Sloan Kettering Pavilion's height, impact on neighborhood character, and space allocation. The testimony criticizes the massive up-zoning required and questions the efficiency of the building's design.

  • Argues that the proposed tower, rising without setbacks, would negatively impact the neighborhood's livability
  • Questions the allocation of space within the building, with only 44% dedicated to patient care and clinical areas
  • Urges the council to intervene on behalf of the community, citing MSK's disregard for requests for a lower structure alternative
