Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV announced a number of transactions that they closed in the fourth quarter of 2018. Most of them involved medical office building portfolios, but one saw the acquisition of five assisted living communities in Michigan for an undisclosed price.

Totaling 302 units with locations in Grand Rapids, Holland, Howell, Lansing and Wyoming, the communities were previously owned and operated by Vista Springs Assisted Living, which promptly leased them back to continue as operator through 2033 under an absolute net lease structure. This is the first tranche closed of a larger Michigan assisted living portfolio, so we await Part-II.
