Anchor Health Properties has acquired Renewal Medical Center, a 36,541-square-foot building in Lone Tree, Colo., through its Chestnut Healthcare Fund II, co-managed with Chestnut Funds. Medical Properties of America sold the asset for $13 million, according to Douglas County records. First Citizens Bank provided $18.7 million in debt financing, with a maturity date set for 2027.

Anchor Health will also provide asset and property management services. Renewal Medical Center was 97 percent occupied at the time of sale. Managing Partner Greg Trainor with Fairfield Asset Advisors represented the seller in the transaction.
