Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Acquires
Lacombe Medical Office Building Near New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (March 10, 2010) – Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc. today announced the acquisition of Lacombe Medical Office Building, an approximately 34,000-square-foot, multi-tenant medical facility in the New Orleans suburb of Lacombe. The acquisition closed on March 5, 2010.

Located at 64030 Highway 434, Lacombe Medical Office Building is on the campus of, and physically connected to, Louisiana Medical Center and Heart Hospital, named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals® for cardiovascular care by Thomson Reuters in 2008. In 2009, the hospital completed a $40 million, 120-bed, 109,000-square-foot patient tower, which more than tripled its patient capacity.

“As a fully leased facility located on the campus of a thriving medical center, Lacombe Medical Office Building is an ideal acquisition for Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II,” said Danny Prosky, president and chief operating officer. “Additionally, this off-market acquisition is attractively priced and will be immediately accretive to our bottom line.”

Lacombe Medical Office Building is 100 percent leased to five tenants, all of which specialize in the field of cardiac surgery. The property was acquired from CC Lacombe, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, represented by Doug Connell of Grubb & Ellis Company. Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II financed this acquisition with cash proceeds received from its offering.
