We are thrilled to have Chelsea rejoin Cushman & Wakefield,” said Gregory B. Valladao, Cushman & Wakefield’s Arizona Market Leader. “Her experience at HTA has made her one of the strongest medical office experts in the Southwest. We look forward to her expanding her Phoenix-based practice to include other cities in the area including Tucson, Albuquerque and Las Vegas. Her high level of professionalism and the expertise she brings to the table will be a huge benefit to the medical groups she consults with.”

Before joining HTA, Maddox was a senior associate with Cushman & Wakefield in the firm’s healthcare division where she represented a national tenant base. Prior to that, she was an associate with Grubb & Ellis, responsible for medical office leasing. Maddox began her career in 2007 with commercial real estate brokerage firm Landmark TCN as an associate.
