Eastman Cooke & Associates builds two Endovascular Centers in East Harlem

New York, NY Eastman Cooke & Associates (ECA), a Manhattan-based, mid-sized construction company, is completing two medical clinics for the American Endovascular & Amputation Prevention Group at East River Plaza, 505 East 116^th St. The two medical units comprise Harlem Endovascular Center, a 4,200 s/f clinic in a former Sleepy’s store, and New York Endovascular & Amputation Prevention Center, a 5,000 s/f full-service surgical center.

“Building two clinics in a shopping center frequented by the local community is a great use for erstwhile retail space that had been vacant a long time,” said Peter Morandi, CEO, LEED AP, ECA. “The surrounding neighborhoods will greatly benefit from the services provided in these clinics, whether for wellness visits or comprehensive surgical procedures. In recent years, a substantial portion of our projects have focused on extensive adaptive reuse and conversions of retail, office and warehouse spaces into vibrant medical centers.”

For both clinics, ECA built reception areas, examination rooms, and offices. Among the infrastructure upgrades were new electrical and plumbing systems, and individually operated HVAC systems. For the New York Endovascular & Amputation Prevention Center, ECA constructed multiple operating suites. In addition, the firm was responsible for the interior buildouts, storage, millwork, and painting.
