Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Purchases Three Facilities for $28.05 Million

NewImageGrubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II announced it has acquired three different buildings, the Yuma Skilled Nursing Facility in Yuma, Ariz., Hardy Oak Medical Building in San Antonio, and Lakewood Ranch Medical Office Building in Bradenton, Fla.

“The acquisition of these properties was attractive to Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II due to their proximity to well-managed medical centers and their financial performance,” said Danny Prosky, president and chief operating officer of the REIT.  “Additionally, as a result of the Yuma acquisition, we were able to extend through 2026 the leases of five other skilled nursing facilities owned by the REIT that are operated by Kissito Healthcare, which also operates Yuma Skilled Nursing Facility.”

Currently going through a multi million dollar renovation, the Yuma facility (40,000 sq. ft) is a 143 bed skilled nursing facility that was originally built in 1964.  Expected to cost approximately $3.5 million, it’s being paid for by Kissito Healthcare, the operator of Yuma Skilled Nursing Facility, which has agreed to a new lease that will run through April 30, 2026 with two additional ten-year renewal options.  Kissito Healthcare is the same operator of the five skilled nursing facilities of the Virginia Skilled Nursing Facility Portfolio, which Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II purchased in September 2010.
