TGen, the Translational Genomics Research Institute

About the project

The TGen Building, home to the Translational Genomics Research Institute, stands as a cornerstone of Phoenix’s growing biomedical corridor and a beacon of cutting-edge medical research. TGen scientists are at the forefront of genomic innovation, tackling complex conditions like cancer, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and rare childhood illnesses. Supporting this level of high-stakes discovery requires more than a traditional facility management approach — it demands precision, foresight and deep technical expertise.

That’s where Plaza Companies comes in.
