Vice President Daniel Solomon of Kidder Mathews has successfully brokered the sale of the VCA McCormick Ranch Animal Hospital & Emergency Center, a 6,403-square-foot, 24/7 animal hospital and emergency center located at 10380 N. Hayden Road in Scottsdale, Arizona. The property traded hands for the first time in over 45 years, with Solomon representing the seller, a family who had owned the building since 1980. This transaction underscores the continued demand for healthcare real estate assets—including veterinary—one of the most resilient and sought-after categories in the national net-lease marketplace.
Choosing the right agent for this assignment was a highly competitive process. Over the years, 29 different brokers and direct buyers pursued the opportunity to represent or acquire the property, reflecting its significance in the Arizona veterinary market. Ultimately, the family—acting through its trustee—selected Solomon to exclusively sell the asset.
“Properties like this don’t come along often,” said Solomon. “You have a legacy asset, a world-class operator, and an incredible location in one of the most affluent markets in the country, all in one. The sale of the VCA McCormick Ranch Animal Hospital & Emergency Center represents the passing of a generational property that will continue to anchor premium veterinary services in Scottsdale for a long time.”
Positioned just a few minutes from Paradise Valley—Arizona’s wealthiest municipality, where median household incomes exceed $200,000—the hospital serves one of the most affluent pet-owning populations in the country. The surrounding area is home to luxury estates, private golf courses, destination resorts, and a consumer base that consistently invests in high-quality veterinary care.
The hospital’s reputation is reinforced by its American Animal Hospital Association accreditation, a distinction earned by nearly 15% of veterinary hospitals nationwide. Among VCA’s Arizona locations, McCormick Ranch is recognized as one of the most well-known facilities statewide, supported by advanced clinical capabilities and a loyal, high-demand client base.
Operated by VCA—the world’s largest veterinary hospital operator—the property functions as a 24/7 emergency and regional referral center offering general practice, specialty services, and continuous emergency care. Its around-the-clock operations support consistent client engagement and recurring revenue. VCA’s national strength was underscored in 2017 when Mars, Incorporated acquired VCA Inc. for $9.1 billion, highlighting the long-term stability of VCA-operated assets.
The asset is located in the rapidly expanding Phoenix metropolitan area, one of the fastest-growing major metros in the country. Scottsdale’s population growth, rising household incomes, and continued corporate migration have fueled sustained demand for both human and animal healthcare services, making veterinary real estate an increasingly coveted and durable asset class.
