Aurora Health Care has bought seven properties that it had been leasing in Milwaukee, Muskego, New Berlin and West Allis for a combined total of $99.27 million, according to state records.
It follows the Milwaukee-based health care system’s purchase of six other buildings that house its medical centers and clinics in Franklin, Kenosha, Winnebago County and Sheboygan County for a total of $61.5 million earlier this week.
Badger Re Portfolio I, LLC, based in Toledo, Ohio, sold all 13 of the properties to Aurora for a total of $160.8 million, according to state records. Badger Re Portfolio I is registered to Welltower Inc., a health care real estate investment trust.
Aurora previously had been leasing and occupying all of the properties, said Tami Kou, a spokeswoman for the health care system.
“The owner decided to sell the properties, and we were able to reach an agreement to purchase the properties,” Kou said. “Operations will continue as they have been at those locations.”
