Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) announced that founder, chairman and CEO Scott D. Peters, rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) April 4, 2018, at 4 p.m. HTA is celebrating over 10 years since the company was founded and the fifth year as a public company since listing on the NYSE June 6, 2012.
HTA listed on the NYSE in 2012 with a unique offering, where the company listed its shares without raising any equity. At the time, HTA’s portfolio consisted of 12.4 million square feet of medical office buildings located in 26 states valued at $2.5 billion. Since then, it has more than doubled in size creating the leading medical office building company with over $7 billion invested and 24 million square feet across 33 states. In 2017 alone, HTA invested $2.7 billion, including raising $1.9 billion of equity through its public listing on the NYSE.
“The past year has been a transformational year for HTA. We have been fortunate to steadily grow as an organization, create a best in class operating platform and are the largest public owners of medical office space in the country. We will continue to be the leader in medical office space by listening to market trends and following asset demands to ensure sustained growth for the company,” said Mr. Peters.
HTA executives Robert A. Milligan, CFO and treasurer and secretary of the board and Amanda Houghton, Executive Vice President of Asset Management, along with several members of the leadership team, joined Mr. Peters at the podium.
