Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information reported in Items 2.01 and 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.





Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On November 29, 2007, Triple Net Properties, LLC, or Triple Net Properties, the managing member of Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Advisor, LLC, or our Advisor, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Agreement, with BRCP Highlands Ranch, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, or the Seller, for the purchase of Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza located in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, or the Highlands Ranch property, for a purchase price of $14,500,000.

On December 19, 2007, Triple Net Properties executed an Assignment and Assumption of Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Assignment, to assign its rights, title and interest as the buyer in the Agreement, to G&E Healthcare REIT County Line Road, LLC, our subsidiary.

On December 19, 2007, we acquired the Highlands Ranch property from the Seller for a purchase price of $14,500,000. We financed the purchase price with a secured loan of $8,853,000 from Wachovia Bank, National Association, or Wachovia, $2,901,000 in borrowings under a secured revolving line of credit with LaSalle Bank National Association, or LaSalle, and KeyBank National Association, or Key Bank, and the remaining balance from funds raised through our initial public offering (both the secured loan and the secured revolving line of credit are described in Item 2.03 below). An acquisition fee of $435,000, or 3.0% of the purchase price, was paid to our Advisor and its affiliate.

The above descriptions of the Agreement and Assignment are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the agreements attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.





Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Wachovia Secured Loan

On December 19, 2007, we, through G&E Healthcare REIT County Line Road, LLC, obtained a secured loan, or the Highlands loan, with Wachovia. The Highlands loan is evidenced by a Loan Agreement, or the Highlands loan agreement, and a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $8,853,000, or the Highlands note. The Highlands note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, or the Highlands mortgage, on the Highlands Ranch property, and a Repayment Guaranty by which we unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the obligations as listed in the Repayment Guaranty. The loan matures on December 31, 2010, but may be extended for two consecutive 12 month periods, each subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of an extension fee equal to 0.125% of the principal balance then outstanding plus undisbursed loan proceeds. The loan provides for monthly interest-only payments due on the first day of each calendar month, beginning on January 1, 2008. At our option, the loan bears interest at per annum rates equal to: (a) 30-day LIBOR plus 1.55%; or (b) the Prime Rate, as announced by Wachovia from time to time. If any monthly installment that is due is not received by Wachovia on or before the 15th day of each month, the loan provides for a late charge equal to 4.0% of such monthly installment. In the event of a default, the loan also provides for a default interest rate of 4.0% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR Rate or the Prime Rate. The loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, without paying a prepayment premium. The loan documents contain certain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

The material terms of the Highlands loan are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Highlands loan agreement, Highlands note, Highlands mortgage, Repayment Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 through 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

LaSalle Line of Credit

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on September 14, 2007, and as further reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on December 18, 2007, we entered into a $80,000,000 secured revolving line of credit with LaSalle and KeyBank, or the LaSalle line of credit. On December 19, 2007, we borrowed $2,901,000 under the LaSalle line of credit, which was applied towards the purchase of the Highlands Ranch property, including closing costs.

Wachovia Interest Rate Swap

We, through G&E Healthcare REIT County Line Road, LLC, entered into an interest rate swap agreement dated December 21, 2007, as amended on December 24, 2007, or the ISDA Agreement, with Wachovia, in connection with the Highlands loan with Wachovia. As noted above, pursuant to the terms of the Highlands note in favor of Wachovia, the Highlands loan bears interest, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to either: (a) 30-day LIBOR plus 1.55%; or (b) the Prime Rate, as announced by Wachovia from time to time. As a result of the ISDA Agreement, the Highlands loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.52% per annum from December 19, 2007 through December 31, 2010; and provides for monthly interest-only payments due on the first business day of each calendar month commencing on January 2, 2008.

The material terms of the interest rate swap are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the ISDA Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
