PHOENIX – A Mesa medical complex has a new look after undergoing a $45 million modernization project.
The four-building Desert Medical Campus is located on the grounds of Banner Desert Medical Center on Dobson Road, just north of U.S. 60.
The new amenities include building facades with atrium lobbies, restrooms, lounge areas, solar shade structure and signage.
In addition, the Top Fuel Café was built in the 1520 building, and a walkway connecting the 1432 building with Banner Desert Medical Center was added.
The complex has move-in ready suites available as well as spec suites that are in the works.
