Sharon Harper, president and CEO of Plaza Companies, says the six transactions were representative of an uptick in the medical office marketplace in the Valley.

“We are seeing a great deal of activity at the moment in the medical office sector as the economy continues to improve and the healthcare needs of our population expands,” Harper explains. “We believe this sector will continue to be extremely active throughout the rest of 2016 and into 2017 as more medical practices and hospital groups adjust to the dynamics in the healthcare market.”
