Exhibit 99.1 HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA, INC. REPORTS RECORD LEASING IN THE SECOND QUARTER Signs Most New Leases in Company’s History as Leased Rate Increases on a Sequential Basis Leading Proxy Advisory Firm ISS Recognizes the Inherent Value in the Transaction with HR SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 5, 2022 - Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) (“HTA”) reported that during the second quarter the Company signed its highest level of new leases, approximately 283,000 square feet, since going public in 2012. The Company also signed approximately 550,000 square feet of renewal leases. As a result of HTA’s strong performance, total portfolio leased rate increased by 0.3% since Q1 2022, and the Company ended the period at 89.6%. HTA’s new leasing spans across the entire portfolio, with more than 90 leases signed at an average of approximately 3,000 square feet per lease. The Company achieved more than 10,000 square feet of leasing in 10 of its key markets, and more than 5,000 square feet in 17 of those markets. Preliminary re-leasing spreads for the quarter are expected to range from 3% to 4%, and leasing concessions are anticipated to be consistent with the Company’s recent performance. “Over the past year, the HTA team has worked to refine and implement our strategic growth plan, and these strong results are a testament to that and underscore the potential for further growth as we build on this momentum,” stated Peter N. Foss, CEO. “I am proud of all that our team has accomplished and thank them for their hard work and commitment to unlocking the value of our portfolio. As we work to complete our pending merger with Healthcare Realty Trust, we will continue executing our strategy to drive future earnings growth and shareholder value creation.” All results are preliminary and subject to final quarter-end closing procedures. Additional details will be provided when HTA files its second quarter financial results. In light of its pending merger transaction with HR, HTA will not provide earnings guidance for 2022.

As previously announced, HTA’s special meeting of stockholders will be held on July 15, 2022. Subject to a favorable shareholder vote, the merger is expected to close on July 20, 2022.
