St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan in New York, which filed for bankruptcy and closed this spring, may soon go up for sale, according to a New York Times report.
The parent company of the hospital announced yesterday that it would seek approval from a bankruptcy judge to hire CB Richard Ellis to sell its Manhattan campus.
While the current value of the buildings is uncertain, a management company offered $300 million for the property's eight buildings in 2007. The firm planned to develop townhouses and apartments at the facility, allowing St. Vincent to open a new facility across the street. The management company, Rudin Management Company, says it is still interested in the property, according to the report.
Such a sale could be controversial in the community, as some contend that a hospital should be developed in the now-shuttered facility.
