Healthcare Trust of America Inc. is scouring North Texas for health care real estate acquisitions.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based real estate investment trust is looking to invest a portion of its $225 million cash reserves in the Dallas-Fort Worth medical marketplace.
The company has a portfolio of health care properties throughout the U.S., about 90% of which are medical offices and smaller hospitals, said Mark Engstrom, executive vice president for acquisitions at Healthcare Trust of America. HTA is looking to invest in health care as a defensive strategy to weather the downturn, he said.
“It doesn’t have as much of the cyclical variability as other types of real estate investments,” Engstrom said.
