Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- --------------------------------------------
On August 12, 1999, Registrant completed the acquisition of three office
buildings (the "Acquired Buildings") in the State of Indiana. The Acquired
Buildings contain an aggregate of approximately 95,836 square feet. The
aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Buildings was $7,944,000, which was
paid by assuming approximately $5,255,000 of existing debt (the "Debt") and
$116,400 of related escrow balances on the properties and issuing approximately
541,600 shares of Registrant's common stock at the rate of $4.75 per share. In
conjunction with the assumption of the Debt, Registrant also assumed the
obligations and liabilities of the original guarantors of the Debt.
The Acquired Buildings were purchased from Sheridan Realty Partners, L.P.
("Sheridan"), a Delaware limited partnership. The purchase price of the Acquired
Buildings was determined through negotiations between Registrant and Sheridan.
As required pursuant to the terms of the Purchase And Sale Agreement
between Registrant and Sheridan regarding the acquisition by Registrant of the
Acquired Buildings, Registrant has appointed William T. Atkins and Charles K.
Knight to Registrant's Board Of Directors.
Mr. Atkins is the President and a 16.5% owner of Sheridan Realty Corp.
("Sheridan Realty"), which is the general partner of Sheridan. Sheridan Realty
holds a 1% interest in Sheridan as the general partner, and an additional
3.1335% interest as a limited partner. In connection with the acquisition of the
Acquired Buildings, Mr. Atkins received approximately 33,000 of the shares of
common stock paid by Registrant as a portion of the purchase price. A trust
company for which Mr. Atkins serves as a director serves as trustee for trusts
that received an aggregate of approximately 76,900 additional shares of common
stock. Mr. Atkins has no beneficial interest in any shares held by the trust
company. Mr. Knight did not receive any shares of common stock as a result of
the acquisition.
Registrant has hired Sheridan Development, LLC ("Sheridan Development") to
manage the Acquired Buildings for a one-year term commencing on July 1, 1999.
During that term, Sheridan Development is responsible for all aspects of the
management and operation of the Acquired Buildings and coordinating the leasing
of the Acquired Buildings. In exchange, Registrant will pay a management fee
equal to 5% of the gross monthly rental income received from the Acquired
Buildings. Mr. Atkins is the co- manager, President and a 25.05% owner and Mr.
Knight is a Vice President and 9.9% owner of Sheridan Development.
Other than as described in this Item 2, there are no material relationships
between Sheridan and any of Registrant, Registrant's directors or officers, or
associates of Registrant's directors or officers.

EXHIBIT 99.1
On August 12, 1999 Registrant issued the following press release:
"AmeriVest Properties Announces Acquisition of Three Office Buildings
August 12, 1999/Lakewood, CO - - AmeriVest Properties Inc. (NASDAQ:AMVP)
today announced that it has purchased three contiguous office buildings in
Indianapolis, Indiana. The three buildings, which total approximately 95,800
square feet, are currently 95% leased. The total purchase price for the three
office buildings is approximately $7,944,000 and will consist of approximately
541,600 shares of common stock valued at $4.75 per share, or approximately
$2,572,600 of additional equity, and the assumption of the existing mortgage and
related escrow balances on the properties of approximately $5,371,400. James F.
Etter, CEO and President of AmeriVest Properties, stated "The addition of these
three properties to AmeriVest's portfolio is expected to generate Funds From
Operations, before principal amortization of the debt being assumed, on an
annualized basis of approximately $420,000. This acquisition is a significant
addition for AmeriVest as it brings three solid performing quality office
buildings into our portfolio." The effective date of the acquisition was as of
July 1, 1999.
The properties were sold by Sheridan Realty Partners, L.P., an affiliate of
the Sheridan Group, a private real estate company based in Denver, Colorado. Mr.
William T. Atkins and Charles K. Knight, both of whom are associated with the
Sheridan Group, were appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr. Atkins is a
principal shareholder and co-founder of Sheridan Realty Corp. He has been
involved in commercial real estate in the midwestern and western regions of the
U.S. for the last nine years. Mr. Knight has been associated with Sheridan
Development since 1998. Prior to joining Sheridan he was responsible for
identifying merger and acquisition opportunities for Public Storage, Inc., the
world's largest self-storage owner and operator. Mr. Etter also stated that, "
It is a pleasure to have Messrs. Atkins and Knight join the Board of Directors.
They bring a proven track record in commercial real estate to the Company. Their
experience will contribute significantly to the future growth of the Company."
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in

forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurances
that such expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct. See the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for additional statements concerning
important factors, including occupancy and rental rates and operating costs,
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's
expectations.
