Project moves from groundbreaking toward a scheduled March topping-out milestone

Hammes, working with Phoenix-based NOVO Development, is progressing on a new 34,000-square-foot medical office building in Scottsdale, Arizona that is planned as the first-phase anchor healthcare component of the 43-acre Sierra Bloom mixed-use wellness campus. The project’s timeline includes a topping-out ceremony scheduled for late March 2026 and a targeted completion in the third quarter of 2026.

Project leaders have described the building as a multi-tenant medical office facility, with one group expected to occupy most of the space. The anchor tenant is Arizona Sports Medicine Center, an orthopedic provider group affiliated with Abrazo Medical Group, part of Abrazo Health.

Anchor tenant and services planned for the new facility

Arizona Sports Medicine Center is expected to provide sports medicine services and imaging at the new location, alongside additional orthopedic-focused offerings. The building is being positioned as a flagship site for the group within the Scottsdale market, while patient care continues at existing clinics during construction.

  • Facility size: 34,000 square feet
  • Campus context: Sierra Bloom, a 43-acre mixed-use wellness campus
  • Key milestone: topping-out planned for March 2026
  • Planned delivery: third quarter of 2026

How the Scottsdale development fits Hammes’ recent Arizona footprint

The Scottsdale project follows Hammes’ work in Arizona’s West Valley, where the firm developed the 48,000-square-foot Buckeye Medical Plaza. That two-story, multi-tenant building was constructed beginning in summer 2023, completed in April 2024, and marked its opening with a ribbon-cutting on June 12, 2024. The Buckeye facility opened with eight tenants offering a range of outpatient services including primary care, lab services, physical therapy, women’s care, pediatric autism services, podiatry, oral surgery and dental care.

Together, the Buckeye and Scottsdale projects highlight continued development activity by a Milwaukee-headquartered healthcare real estate firm in a region where providers and developers are expanding outpatient capacity through medical office buildings rather than traditional hospital-centered construction.

The Scottsdale building is planned as an anchor component within a larger mixed-use site, pairing healthcare tenants with broader campus-style development.

What comes next

The next publicly identified construction marker is the topping-out event in March 2026. If the project remains on schedule, the building would reach completion in the third quarter of 2026, positioning Arizona Sports Medicine Center to transition services into the new space after buildout and operational readiness steps typical for outpatient medical facilities.
