New Extension Granted For 7-Story Norwalk Hospital Addition: Report

NORWALK, CT — Nuvance Health, owner of Norwalk Hospital, was recently granted a two-year extension by the Norwalk Planning and Zoning Commission for a seven-story addition at the Maple Street hospital, The Hour reported.

The hospital announced plans for the 191,000-square-foot patient pavilion tower in 2021, and hopes to begin construction by early 2026.

Last year, the hospital was granted a one-year extension, which is set to expire in October, but the project has been delayed, largely because the facility had not secured a home for its inpatient psychiatric services.

That unit is slated for demolition under the new tower plans, so a site for it has to be settled before that work can begin.
