Hammes Partners has acquired a six-building medical office portfolio in Chicago. Twin Building Management sold the assets, encompassing more than 120,000 square feet, spread across northern suburbs of the city.

According to Cook and Lake County records, the portfolio traded for $21 million and was subject to an acquisition loan of $15 million with a five-year maturity date, provided by Lake Forest Bank & Trust Co.

Principals Mike Wilson and Erik Foster, alongside Jim Kornick of Avison Young and in partnership with Principal and Senior Vice President Darryl Silverman with Colliers, represented the seller.

The Hammes investment portfolio in the health-care sector includes acquired and developed assets, ranging from medical office buildings to ambulatory care centers. The company has a total footprint of approximately 2.3 million square feet in medical office assets, CommercialEdge data shows.

Among its projects, last year in October, Hammes Partners acquired a 4.2-acre parcel for the development of Buckeye Medical Plaza, a 45,000-square-foot medical office project in Buckeye, Ariz.
