Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Acquires
Highlands Ranch Medical Pavilion Near Denver

DENVER (May 06, 2010) – Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc. today announced that it has acquired Highlands Ranch Medical Pavilion, a Class A medical office building totaling approximately 37,000 square feet in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch. The $8.4 million acquisition closed on April 30.

Located at 8671 S. Quebec St., Highlands Ranch Medical Pavilion is within approximately five miles of both the 231-bed Littleton Adventist Hospital and the 186-bed Sky Ridge Medical Center. Littleton Adventist is a member hospital of Centura Health, while Sky Ridge Medical Center is a member hospital of HealthONE. Built in 1999 on approximately 3.5 acres of land, the property is currently 94 percent leased to multiple tenants, including Belleview Family Medicine PC, National Jewish Medical and Research Center and Arapahoe Park Pediatrics PC.

“Highlands Ranch Medical Pavilion is located in one of Colorado’s most affluent neighborhoods, near two large hospitals and in the midst of one of the nation’s growing metropolitan regions, all of which make this an ideal acquisition for Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II,” said Jeff Hanson, chairman and chief executive officer. “But most importantly, this acquisition is immediately accretive to our bottom line, delivering a rate of return well in excess of our 6.5 percent per annum distribution paid to investors.”

Highlands Ranch Medical Pavilion is located 12 miles south of Denver and enjoys close proximity to Interstate 25, Colorado’s primary north/south thoroughfare, and the C-470 Beltway, affording tenants easy access to all of Greater Denver. The building provides a variety of medical services to patients, including: asthma, allergy and immunology; radiology and imaging; pediatric services; physical therapy; behavioral health services; obstetrics and gynecology services; family practice and oral and maxillofacial surgery.

The property was acquired from HRMED LLC, an unaffiliated third party represented by Geoff Baukol and Chris Bodnar of CB Richard Ellis.
