The only company to test the initial public offerings market this month, Windrose Medical Properties Trust, said Monday it completed the acquisition of five medical properties with the proceeds from its IPO. Indianapolis-based WindRose raised $67 million Aug. 16 by selling 5.6 million shares at $12 each. The five properties--four outpatient treatment centers in Las Vegas--and the Urology Center of the South, a surgery and group practice clinic in Germantown, Tenn., cost Windrose $50 million. Two other properties, in Las Vegas and Charlotte, N.C., will be acquired later with about $13 million in proceeds from the IPO, the company said. The real estate investment trust trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WRS. www.TheDeal.com
