The Phoenix Suns plan to break ground by the end of the summer on a new training facility on the east side of Phoenix.

The team announced Friday the "state-of-the-art training facility" will be located on 44th Street, north of Camelback Road.

"The facility will feature the latest innovation in sports science and player development," according to the news release.

The new facilities will provide new offices, private health and training amenities and two NBA and WNBA courts for the Suns and Mercury teams, according to the release.

"There are extensive limitations to the player development and training space available in our nearly 30-year-old arena. The development of this stand-alone, secure and private facility will enhance our player health, development and wellness capabilities, and allow us to retain and attract the best basketball talent to the Valley for years to come,” said the Suns General Manager, James Jones.
