Ironwood Medical Center is a 60,000-square-foot, three-story Class A medical office building that was completed in September 2019. The facility is adjacent to the Banner Ironwood Medical Center, a 78-acre medical center campus at the southwest corner of Gantzel Road and Combs Roads in Queen Creek.
The adjacent Banner Ironwood Medical Center hospital and inpatient facility currently consists of approximately 248,000-square-feet with 53 beds and related support site improvements. The medical center is planned to provide for significant expansion of the hospital facility as the area demand for medical care grows in the future.
Ironwood Medical Pavilion was a finalist for the RED Awards for medical office in 2020, and the Banner Ironwood Medical Center campus has won several industry awards for its excellence.
Bill Cook and Margaret Lloyd of Plaza Companies will lead leasing efforts, while Scott Rubin of Plaza Companies will oversee property management of the facility.
“We are very pleased to complete this win-win-win transaction for all parties involved,” said Sharon Harper, Chairman and CEO of Plaza Companies. “This is an exceptional medical office property in a growing area, and we were pleased to partner with Ryan Companies to make it a reality.
