SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc. today announced that it has acquired a seven-building portfolio of skilled nursing facilities located throughout Virginia. The approximately 230,000-square-foot, 563-bed portfolio was built between 1989 and 2004. Laurel Healthcare and Kissito Healthcare operate the facilities under long-term absolute net leases. The acquisition closed on Sept. 16.
"Skilled nursing facilities in general are of great interest to us because there is a fairly constrained supply and they cater to a rapidly growing segment of our population," said Danny Prosky, president and chief operating officer of Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II.
