Montebello : Medical Plaza to Be Built

An $18-million, 111,000-square-foot medical plaza will be built on Beverly Boulevard. Ground breaking is in June for the five-story Beverly West Health Plaza, which will provide office space for more than 30 medical specialists and family physicians.

The building is to be completed in late 1988, said Phillip Sontag, a spokesman for Dr. John Thropay, a principal owner of the project. Thropay is a Montebello cancer specialist and owner of Beverly Oncology and Imaging Centers Medical Group Inc., which owns and operates three Southern California cancer centers--two in Montebello.

Beverly West Health Plaza will be next to Beverly Hospital but not associated with it.
