Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. Executes Agreement to Acquire a Long-Term Acute Care
Hospital Located in Dallas, Texas
Scottsdale, Arizona (December 3, 2009) – Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. ( “HTA”), a self-managed, non-traded, real estate investment trust, announced the execution of a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a long-term acute care hospital (“LTACH”), located in Dallas, Texas, for approximately $27,350,000. The closing of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions.
The approximately 52,300 square foot LTACH contains 60 private, licensed beds and is strategically located between Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and Medical City Dallas Hospital, each located north of downtown Dallas in an area which is considered the north central medical district. The LTACH is subject to a long-term lease with Dallas LTACH LLC, a subsidiary of RehabCare (NYSE:RHB). RehabCare is a national provider of post-acute services, based in St. Louis, Missouri. RehabCare manages rehabilitation programs in partnership with over 1,240 hospitals and skilled nursing facilities in 41 states, and owns and operates 33 rehabilitation and long-term acute care hospitals. The 4-story LTACH was developed two years ago by the seller, which is a partnership between local physicians and Gulf States Health Services who are the Sellers.
“This particular medical submarket provides both solid real estate fundamentals and proximity to two large, prominent hospitals in the heart of North Dallas’ medical center,” stated Mark D. Engstrom, HTA’s Executive Vice President of Acquisitions. “Hospital proximity and a solid, experienced operator are essential to sustaining volumes for these types of facilities.”
