[Mount Sinai Beth Israel Proceeds with Property Sale Amid Closure](https://hoodline.com/2025/01/mount-sinai-beth-israel-proceeds-with-property-sale-amid-closure-controversy-in-manhattan/) > The ongoing saga of Mount Sinai Beth Israel’s closure has taken a step forward as Mount Sinai Health System has sold two of its properties for approximately $34 million. The sold locations at 317 and 321 E. 17th Street, previously affiliated with the Gramercy campus, are reportedly officially bought by a shell company. According to deeds registered in the city register, the buying entity, 317 East 17th Street LLC, is tied to developer Joyland Management with an address corresponding to Joyland’s base in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood, as reported by [Crain’s New York](https://www.crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/mount-sinai-beth-israel-sells-two-properties-amid-shutdown-battle). ---

Eighty-seven of the units will be clustered on the part of the site once addressed as 313 E. 17th St., and nine units, all full-floor residences, will be located at the former 321 E. 17th St., according to the records. But both lots will be officially merged for the development and seem to have been connected internally and functioned as one building throughout their existence anyway. The mixed-use project will also feature a community facility, filings indicate. > > Kao-Hwa Lee Architects designed the project, while the brokerage Real New York will handle leasing. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/1/0/1021fff92c0b3fd520d43ae909fa3ea233f3c21f.jpeg) Photo by Buck Ennis [Previous page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-beth-israel-medical-center-redevelopment/2769.md?page=1)
