The city on Tuesday night approved the sale of 2.64 acres at the northeast corner of North Maricopa Road and Honeycutt Avenue to Exceptional Health Care Holdings.
The parcel, which sold for $1.38 million, provides the future operator of the city’s first hospital with land to expand. The $28 million hospital will open with about 10 emergency room beds, 10 trauma beds and a 24-hour emergency department. It is expected to be complete by late 2021.
Exceptional Health Care, a Texas-based hospital group, had closed on a 3.5-acre property near the southwest slope of the overpass in October 2019. But before ground was even broken at the site, the company said it wanted to acquire additional land for expansion, including a potential surgery department, MRI space, a specialty clinic and medical offices.
