NYU Langone Health paid $33 million in January for a downtown West Palm Beach property, where the nationally respected New York-based health care provider plans a custom-built medical tower .
NYU Langone, which currently leases medical office space downtown , eventually will move into its own building at 324 Datura St., at the southeast corner of Datura and South Dixie Highway.
The January property purchase underscores NYU Langone’s commitment to growing its presence in Palm Beach County — and serving patients and patrons loyal to the renowned nonprofit provider.
NYU Langone first opened its Palm Beach County offices seven years ago but began planning a major expansion a couple of years ago as its patient roster grew with the influx of residents into the county, especially from the Northeast.
NYU Langone’s big move: Could this major health care provider get its own tower downtown?
An NYU Langone spokesman was mum on details, for now.
“While we aren’t able to share additional details at this time, NYU Langone has been working to expand the exceptional services we offer in the Palm Beach area and we hope to offer more information soon,” spokesman Steve Ritea said on Wednesday.
