MIAMI—Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. has acquired six medical office buildings in South Florida. The healthcare REIT paid $63 million for the healthcare real estate.

The medical office buildings span more than 428,000 square feet and are located in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach markets. All of the healthcare real estate assets are on campus with hospitals affiliated with Tenet Healthcare.

"We are excited to enter into the South Florida market in a significant way,” says Healthcare Trust chairman and CEO Scott D. Peters. “These are the type of high-quality, on-campus MOBs that we believe will be core, critical real estate as healthcare continues to expand and evolve in this country. This is especially true in the South Florida market which continues to grow in population, remains a premier retirement destination, and will significantly benefit from the Affordable Care Act as it unfolds."
