Texas Health Resources Buys Forest Park Fort Worth for $116.5 Million

Arlington, Texas-based Texas Health Resources, which owns 24 hospitals in North Texas, bought Forest Park Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, for $116.5 million in a bankruptcy auction.

Texas Health’s bid was $1 million higher than the second-best offer, according to Deirdre Ruckman, the attorney representing Sabra Health Care REIT, the Star-Telegram reported. Sabra Healthcare REIT acted as the secured lender for the 150,000-square-foot hospital, as well as the adjacent 80,000-square-foot office building and parking garage.

The owner of the 54-bed Forest Park Medical Center Fort Worth filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2015. Sabra Texas Holdings then posted the property for foreclosure after the hospital failed to make an interest payment on a $66.8 million construction loan.
