HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Healthcare Investors and Griffin Capital Corporation, the co-sponsors of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., announced today that the REIT has acquired Pottsville Medical Office Building, an approximately 36,000-square-foot medical office building in the Pennsylvania town of Pottsville, located approximately 50 miles from the state capital of Harrisburg.

Built in 2004, Pottsville Medical Office Building is 100 percent leased to multiple physician practice groups, including Integrated Medical Group, PC, which occupies approximately 64 percent of the building and has been a tenant since completion of construction. The property is located within two miles of Schuylkill Medical Center-South Jackson Street and Schuylkill Medical Center-East Norwegian Street, both members of the Schuylkill Health System and which combined command approximately 67 percent of the local Pottsville market share for inpatient admission, according to the American Hospital Directory.

“Pottsville Medical Office Building is located near well-performing hospitals and enjoys strong occupancy from quality tenants,” said Danny Prosky, a principal of American Healthcare Investors and president and chief operating officer of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV. “We find significant value in qualities such as these and are pleased to acquire a property of this caliber.”

Pottsville Medical Office Building was acquired from Norwegian Real Estate Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated third party represented by Allen Inman of Brown Gibbons Lang & Company. Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV financed the acquisition using cash on hand.

Additionally and separate from the acquisition of Pottsville Medical Office Building, as of Sept. 22, 2016, the REIT has executed purchase and sale agreements to acquire six additional healthcare buildings for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $76 million. These pending acquisitions are subject to customary closing conditions and the satisfaction of other requirements as detailed in the respective agreements, and therefore, no assurance can be given regarding the closing of any of these acquisitions.
