Phoenix’s Mayo Clinic Planning 3.3 Million SF Expansion

When you go over all of the care provider choices, many agree the Mayo Clinic is the gold standard. With that kind of reputation, a plan to expand their operation will likely get a lot of attention. The Mayo Clinic wants to develop Discovery Oasis, a 120-acre medical and research campus adjacent to its hospital at 56th Street and Loop 101 in north Phoenix.

Discovery Oasis is expected to include advanced research and development, medical equipment manufacturing, outpatient treatment facilities and associated tenant amenities within 3.3 million square feet. The new campus is intended to serve as a biotechnology ecosystem for many collaborators — from manufacturers to researchers.

The Phoenix Business Journal spoke with Mayo Clinic’s Richard Gray, and he adds, “Our purpose is to help accelerate Mayo Clinic’s vision for how health care needs to transform in the future — to make it more affordable, accessible, simpler and raise the quality everywhere, not just within the Mayo Clinic.” They hope to start work on the project before year end.
