DETROIT, Mich. (June 23, 2016) – American Healthcare Investors and Griffin Capital Corporation, the co-sponsors of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., announced today that the REIT has entered into an agreement to acquire Rochester Hills Medical Office Building, an approximately 30,000-square-foot medical office building in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills, Michigan, from an unaffiliated third party. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and the satisfaction of other requirements as detailed in the agreement.
Rochester Hills Medical Office Building is approximately 93 percent leased to seven tenants, the largest of which is William Beaumont Hospital, doing business as Beaumont Health System, one of the principal healthcare systems in the state of Michigan with eight hospitals and 168 health centers. William Beaumont Hospital occupies approximately 40 percent of the medical office building and recently signed a 10-year lease.
Rochester Hills Medical Office Building is located within two miles of the 290-bed Crittenton Hospital Medical Center, an acute care hospital with a medical staff of nearly 500 physicians. The 520-bed Beaumont Hospital in Troy, Michigan is located approximately eight miles from the medical office building, where a number of healthcare services are provided, including imaging, dialysis, laboratory services, radiology, physical therapy and minimally invasive surgery.
“Strategically located in close proximity to two major hospitals, in an affluent community and anchored by the state’s largest health system, Rochester Hills Medical Office Building is an ideal acquisition for Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV,” said Danny Prosky, a principal of American Healthcare Investors and president and chief operating officer of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV. “Excellent location and exceptional tenants are the keys to successful real estate investment, and we couldn’t be more pleased to move forward with the acquisition of Rochester Hills Medical Office Building.”
