The Mercury currently shares a practice facility with the Suns in north Phoenix, so Ishbia plans to have the new facility ready to go by the start of the 2024 season. The speed of construction will be aided by the fact that the project is part of the renovation of an existing warehouse just three blocks away from the Footprint Center.
In a league where joint facilities are the general norm, Ishbia was clear that he is spending the money as a show of faith in the Mercury and the WNBA. In total, the development will span 123,000 square feet, including space for company offices and more.
