KINGWOOD, TX-Phoenix-based Ensemble Real Estate Services has expanded its healthcare real estate footprint into the Lone Star State. The firm, which has previously focused its development efforts in Arizona and Nevada, recently completed a $9 million medical office building located near Kingwood Medical Center.

Ensemble Associate Partner Tracy Altemus tells GlobeSt.com that Texas is an exciting new market for the firm, which has developed more than 60 medical office buildings in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. “We hope to do more projects in the state,” she says.

Ensemble developed the two-story, 40,733-square-foot medical through a joint venture between Rowland Companies. The two companies were hired by BRB/E Building One LLC, a group of physicians that wanted to own their own building and to move their individual practices under one roof in order to provide more efficient, better coordinated and higher-quality care to their patients. The group is led by physicians Martin Basaldua, MD; David Carpenter, DO; Steve Grayson, DO; and Carl Heller, MD.
