Kraus-Anderson Companies has completed construction of a new Advanced Spine and Pain (ASAP) outpatient clinic and ambulatory surgery center in Phoenix, Arizona, adding another facility to the organization’s growing network of specialty care centers in the region.
The new medical facility, located at 1690 North 95th Avenue, represents ASAP’s 14th center in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The project supports the provider’s transition toward a more integrated, multi-specialty care model focused on minimally invasive treatment options and streamlined patient care delivery.
Designed by Cotton Architecture + Design, the 12,075-square-foot building includes a 4,479-square-foot ambulatory surgery center, a 3,531-square-foot specialty clinic and an additional 4,707 square feet of leasable medical office space. The layout is structured to support both surgical procedures and outpatient consultations within a single integrated facility.
The center includes multiple exam rooms, pre- and post-operative recovery areas, and surgical suites designed for minimally invasive procedures across spine care, orthopedic treatment, neurosurgery, anesthesiology and pain management services. The facility also supports physical therapy and chiropractic care, reflecting a broader trend toward multidisciplinary outpatient treatment models.
Construction firms continue to see strong demand for outpatient healthcare facilities as medical providers shift procedures away from hospitals to lower-cost, specialized environments. These projects typically require advanced mechanical systems, precise environmental controls and specialized medical infrastructure, making them a key growth segment within healthcare construction.
The Phoenix project also reflects ongoing investment in healthcare infrastructure across fast-growing metropolitan regions, where population growth and aging demographics are increasing demand for accessible specialty care services.
Healthcare construction has remained one of the most resilient sectors in the broader building industry, with ambulatory surgery centers and outpatient clinics among the fastest-growing facility types due to efficiency gains and payer incentives that encourage outpatient treatment.
For construction owners and healthcare developers, the completion of this facility highlights continued expansion opportunities in outpatient and ambulatory care construction, particularly in high-growth urban markets.
Owners pursuing healthcare projects are increasingly prioritizing flexible, scalable designs that support multi-specialty use and evolving medical delivery models. Contractors with experience in medical infrastructure, sterile environments and complex mechanical systems are becoming essential partners for these developments.
The trend also reinforces the importance of aligning construction delivery with healthcare operational goals, as providers seek facilities that reduce patient wait times, improve procedural efficiency and support long-term service expansion.
