Item 1.		Business.

The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Holdings, LP, except where the context otherwise requires.

Our Company

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on January 7, 2009 and therefore we consider that our date of inception. We were initially capitalized on February 4, 2009. We intend to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We may also originate and acquire secured loans and other real estate-related investments. We generally will seek investments that produce current income. We intend to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010.

We are conducting a best efforts initial public offering, or our offering, in which we are offering to the public up to 300,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in our primary offering and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, for $9.50 per share, for a maximum offering of up to $3,285,000,000, or the maximum offering. The United States, or U.S., Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, declared our registration statement effective as of August 24, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 15,222,213 shares of our common stock, or $151,862,000, excluding subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania (who were not admitted as stockholders until January 21, 2011, when we had received and accepted subscriptions aggregating at least $164,250,000) and shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Holdings, LP, or our operating partnership. We are externally advised by Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, between us and our advisor that has a one-year term that expires June 1, 2011 and is subject to successive one-year renewals upon the mutual consent of the parties. Our advisor supervises and manages our day-to-day operations and selects the properties and real estate-related investments we acquire, subject to the oversight and approval of our board of directors. Our advisor also provides marketing, sales and client services on our behalf. Our advisor engages affiliated entities to provide various services to us. Our advisor is managed by and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis, or our sponsor.

Key Developments during 2010 and 2011

•

On July 19, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., to obtain a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $25,000,000, or the line of credit. The line of credit matures on July 19, 2012 and may be extended by one 12-month period subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of an extension fee. The proceeds of loans made under the line of credit may be used to finance the purchase of properties, for working capital or may be used for any other lawful purpose.

•

As of March 10, 2011, we had completed 14 acquisitions, 10 of which were acquisitions of medical office buildings, three of which were acquisitions of hospitals and one of which was an acquisition of skilled nursing facilities. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was $205,865,000 and was comprised of 26 buildings and 904,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA.

•

As of February 28, 2011, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 18,559,580 shares of our common stock, or $185,142,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP.

Our Structure

The following is a summary of our organizational structure as of March 10, 2011:

Our principal executive offices are located at 1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Ana, California 92705 and the telephone number is (714) 667-8252. Our sponsor maintains a web site at www.gbe-reits.com/healthcare2, at which there is additional information about us and our affiliates. The contents of that site are not incorporated by reference in, or otherwise a part of, this filing. We make our periodic and current reports, as well as our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-158111), amendments to our registration statement and supplements to our prospectus, available at www.gbe-reits.com/healthcare2 as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with the SEC. They are also available for printing by any stockholder upon request.

Investment Objectives

Our investment objectives are:

•

to preserve, protect and return our stockholders’ capital contributions;

•

to pay regular cash distributions; and

•

to realize growth in the value of our investments upon our ultimate sale of such investments.

We may not attain these objectives. Our board of directors may change our investment objectives if it determines it is advisable and in the best interest of our stockholders.

During the term of the Advisory Agreement, decisions relating to the purchase or sale of investments will be made by our advisor, subject to the oversight and approval by our board of directors.

Investment Strategy

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We also may originate or acquire real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans, common and preferred stock of, or other interests in, public or private unaffiliated real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and certain other securities, including collateralized debt obligations and foreign securities. We generally seek investments that produce current income. In order to maintain our exemption from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, we may be required to limit our investments in certain types of real estate-related investments.

We seek to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable growth in cash flows and portfolio value. In order to achieve these objectives, we may invest using a number of investment structures which may include direct acquisitions, joint ventures, leveraged investments, issuing securities for property and direct and indirect investments in real estate.

In addition, when and as determined appropriate by our advisor, our portfolio may also include properties in various stages of development other than those producing current income. These stages include, without limitation, unimproved land both with and without entitlements and permits, property to be redeveloped and repositioned, newly constructed properties and properties in lease-up or other stabilization scenarios, all of which have limited or no relevant operating histories and no current income. Our advisor will make this determination based upon a variety of factors, including the available risk adjusted returns for such properties when compared with other available properties, the appropriate diversification of the portfolio, and our objectives of realizing both current income and capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of properties.

For each of our investments, regardless of property type, we seek to invest in properties with the following attributes:

•

Quality. We seek to acquire properties that are suitable for their intended use with a quality of construction that is capable of sustaining the property’s investment potential for the long-term, assuming funding of budgeted maintenance, repairs and capital improvements.

•

Location. We seek to acquire properties that are located in established or otherwise appropriate markets for comparable properties, with access and visibility suitable to meet the needs of its occupants.

•

Market; Supply and Demand. We focus on local or regional markets that have potential for stable and growing property level cash flows over the long-term. These determinations will be based in part on an evaluation of local economic, demographic and regulatory factors affecting the property. For instance, we favor markets that indicate a growing population and employment base or markets that exhibit potential limitations on additions to supply, such as barriers to new construction. Barriers to new construction include lack of available land and stringent zoning restrictions. In addition, we generally will seek to limit our investments in areas that have limited potential for growth.

•

Predictable Capital Needs. We seek to acquire properties where the future expected capital needs can be reasonably projected in a manner that would enable us to meet our objectives of growth in cash flows and preservation of capital and stability.

•

Cash Flows. We seek to acquire properties where the current and projected cash flows, including the potential for appreciation in value, would enable us to meet our overall investment objectives. We evaluate cash flows as well as expected growth and the potential for appreciation.

We will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in unimproved or non-income producing properties or in other investments relating to unimproved or non-income producing property. A property will be considered unimproved or non-income producing property for purposes of this limitation if it: (1) is not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, or (2) has no development or construction in process at the date of acquisition or planned in good faith to commence within one year of the date of acquisition.

We will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities. In addition, we will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in equity securities of public or private real estate companies.

We are not limited as to the geographic area where we may acquire properties. We are not specifically limited in the number or size of properties we may acquire or on the percentage of our assets that we may invest in a single property or investment. The number and mix of properties and real estate-related investments we will acquire will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we are acquiring our properties and making our investments, and the amount of proceeds we raise in our offering and potential future offerings.

Real Estate Investments

We intend to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate investments, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We generally seek investments that produce current income. Our investments may include:

•

medical office buildings;

•

assisted living facilities;

•

skilled nursing facilities;

•

hospitals;

•

long-term acute care facilities;

•

surgery centers;

•

memory care facilities;

•

specialty medical and diagnostic service facilities;

•

laboratories and research facilities;

•

pharmaceutical and medical supply manufacturing facilities; and

•

offices leased to tenants in healthcare-related industries.

We generally seek to acquire real estate of the types described above that will best enable us to meet our investment objectives, taking into account the diversification of our portfolio at the time, relevant real estate and financial factors, the location, the income-producing capacity, and the prospects for long-term appreciation of a particular property and other considerations. As a result, we may acquire properties other than the types described above. In addition, we may acquire properties that vary from the parameters described above for a particular property type.

The consideration for each real estate investment must be authorized by a majority of our independent directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, ordinarily based on the fair market value of the investment. If the majority of our independent directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors so determines, or if the investment is to be acquired from an affiliate, the fair market value determination must be supported by an appraisal obtained from a qualified, independent appraiser selected by a majority of our independent directors.

Our real estate investments generally take the form of holding fee title or long-term leasehold interests. Our investments may be made either directly through our operating partnership or indirectly through investments in joint ventures, limited liability companies, general partnerships or other co-ownership arrangements with the developers of the properties, affiliates of our advisor or other persons.

In addition, we may purchase real estate investments and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. Our advisor will use its best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” and so that we will be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is re-characterized as a financing transaction for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such real estate investment would be disallowed or significantly reduced.

Our obligation to close a transaction involving the purchase of real estate is generally conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:

•

plans and specifications;

•

environmental reports (generally a minimum of a Phase I investigation);

•

building condition reports;

•

surveys;

•

evidence of marketable title subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to our advisor;

•

audited financial statements covering recent operations of real properties having operating histories or audited financial statements or summarized financial information of the lessee or guarantor, unless such statements are not required to be filed with the SEC and delivered to stockholders;

•

title insurance policies;

•

liability insurance policies; and

•

tenant leases and operating agreements.

In determining whether to purchase a particular real estate investment, we may, in circumstances in which our advisor deems it appropriate, obtain an option on such property, including land suitable for development. The amount paid for an option is normally surrendered if the real estate is not purchased, and is normally credited against the purchase price if the real estate is purchased. We also may enter into arrangements with the seller or developer of a real estate investment whereby the seller or developer agrees that if, during a stated period, the real estate investment does not generate specified cash flows, the seller or developer will pay us cash in an amount necessary to reach the specified cash flow level, subject in some cases to negotiated dollar limitations.

We will not purchase or lease real estate in which our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or any of their affiliates have an interest without a determination by a majority of our disinterested directors and a majority of our disinterested independent directors that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the real estate investment to the affiliated seller or lessor, unless there is substantial justification for the excess amount and the excess amount is reasonable. In no event will we acquire any such real estate investment at an amount in excess of its current appraised value as determined by an independent expert selected by our disinterested independent directors.

We intend to obtain adequate insurance coverage for all real estate investments in which we invest. However, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, for which we do not intend to obtain insurance unless we are required to do so by mortgage lenders. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate — Uninsured losses relating to real estate and lender requirements to obtain insurance may reduce our stockholders’ returns.

We intend to acquire leased properties with long-term leases in place and we do not intend to operate any healthcare-related facilities directly. As a REIT, we would be prohibited from operating healthcare-related facilities directly, however from time to time we may lease a healthcare-related facility that we acquire to a wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS. In such an event, our TRS will engage a third party in the business of operating healthcare-related facilities to manage the property.

Joint Ventures

We may enter into joint ventures, general partnerships and other arrangements with one or more institutions or individuals, including real estate developers, operators, owners, investors and others, some of whom may be affiliates of our advisor, for the purpose of acquiring real estate. Such joint ventures may be leveraged with debt financing or unleveraged. We may enter into joint ventures to further diversify our investments or to access investments which meet our investment criteria that would otherwise be unavailable to us. In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, our advisor will evaluate the real estate that such joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria used in the selection of our other properties. However, we will not participate in tenant-in-common syndications or transactions.

Joint ventures with unaffiliated third parties may be structured such that the investment made by us and the co-venturer are on substantially different terms and conditions. For example, while we and a co-venturer may invest an equal amount of capital in an investment, the investment may be structured such that we have a right to priority distributions of cash flows up to a certain target return while the co-venturer may receive a disproportionately greater share of cash flows than we are to receive once such target return has been achieved. This type of investment structure may result in the co-venturer receiving more of the cash flows, including appreciation, of an investment than we would receive.

We may only enter into joint ventures with other real estate investment programs sponsored or managed by our advisor or its affiliates, or Grubb & Ellis Group programs, or any of our directors for the acquisition of properties if:

•

a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction, approves the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us; and

•

the investment by us and such affiliate are on substantially the same terms and conditions.

We may invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with other Grubb & Ellis Group programs or affiliates of our advisor to enable us to increase our equity participation in such venture as additional proceeds of our offering are received, so that ultimately we own a larger equity percentage of the property. Our entering into joint ventures with our advisor or any of its affiliates will result in certain conflicts of interest. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest — If we enter into joint ventures with affiliates, we may face conflicts of interest or disagreements with our joint venture partners that may not be resolved as quickly or on terms as advantageous to us as would be the case if the joint venture had been negotiated at arm’s length with an independent joint venture partner.

Real Estate-Related Investments

In addition to our acquisition of medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities, we also may invest in real estate-related investments, including loans (mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans) and securities investments (common and preferred stock of or other interests in public or private unaffiliated real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and certain other securities, including collateralized debt obligations and foreign securities).

Investing In and Originating Loans

We may originate loans from mortgage brokers or personal solicitations of suitable borrowers, or may purchase existing loans that were originated by other lenders. We may purchase existing loans from affiliates and we may make or invest in loans in which the borrower is an affiliate. Our advisor will evaluate all potential loan investments to determine if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meets our investment criteria and objectives. Most loans that we will consider for investment would provide for monthly payments of interest and some may also provide for principal amortization, although many loans of the nature that we will consider provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term. We will not originate loans with negative amortization provisions.

Securities Investments

We may invest in the following types of securities: (1) equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of public or private unaffiliated real estate companies (including other REITs, real estate operating companies and other real estate companies); (2) debt securities such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and debt securities issued by other unaffiliated real estate companies; and (3) certain other types of securities that may help us reach our diversification and other investment objectives. These other securities may include, but are not limited to, various types of collateralized debt obligations and certain non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.

We have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific securities investments. Our charter provides that we may not invest in equity securities unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. Consistent with such requirements, in determining the types of securities investments to make, our advisor will adhere to a board approved asset allocation framework consisting primarily of components such as: (1) target mix of securities across a range of risk/reward characteristics; (2) exposure limits to individual securities; and (3) exposure limits to securities subclasses (such as common equities, debt securities and foreign securities). Within this framework, our advisor will evaluate specific criteria for each prospective securities investment including:

•

positioning the overall portfolio to achieve an optimal mix of real estate and real estate-related investments;

•

diversification benefits relative to the rest of the securities assets within our portfolio;

•

fundamental securities analysis;

•

quality and sustainability of underlying property cash flows;

•

broad assessment of macroeconomic data and regional property level supply and demand dynamics;

•

potential for delivering high current income and attractive risk-adjusted total returns; and

•

additional factors considered important to meeting our investment objectives.

We will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in equity securities of public or private real estate companies. The specific number and mix of securities in which we invest will depend upon real estate market conditions, other circumstances existing at the time we are investing in our securities and the amount of proceeds we raise in our offering. We will not invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control and the first or second mortgages in which we intend to invest will likely not be insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration or otherwise guaranteed or insured. Real estate-related equity securities are generally unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer.

Development Strategy

We may engage our advisor or an affiliate of our advisor to provide development-related services for all or some of the properties that we acquire for development or refurbishment. In those cases, we will pay our advisor or its affiliate a development fee that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered for similar projects in the geographic market where the services are provided if a majority of our independent directors determines that such development fees are fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties. However, we will not pay a development fee to our advisor or its affiliate if our advisor or any of its affiliates elects to receive an acquisition fee based on the cost of such development. In the event that our advisor assists with planning and coordinating the construction of any tenant improvements or capital improvements, our advisor may be paid a construction management fee of up to 5.0% of the cost of such improvements.

Disposition Strategy

We intend to hold each property or real estate-related investment we acquire for an extended period. However, circumstances might arise which could result in a shortened holding period for certain investments. In general, the holding period for real estate-related investments other than real property is expected to be shorter than the holding period for real property assets. A property or real estate-related investment may be sold before the end of the expected holding period if:

•

diversification benefits exist associated with disposing of the investment and rebalancing our investment portfolio;

•

an opportunity arises to pursue a more attractive investment;

•

in the judgment of our advisor, the value of the investment might decline;

•

with respect to properties, a major tenant involuntarily liquidates or is in default under its lease;

•

the investment was acquired as part of a portfolio acquisition and does not meet our general acquisition criteria;

•

an opportunity exists to enhance overall investment returns by raising capital through sale of the investment; or

•

in the judgment of our advisor, the sale of the investment is in the best interest of our stockholders.

The determination of whether a particular property or real estate-related investment should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, with a view toward maximizing our investment objectives. We cannot assure our stockholders that this objective will be realized. The selling price of a property which is net leased will be determined in large part by the amount of rent payable under the lease(s) for such property. If a tenant has a repurchase option at a formula price, we may be limited in realizing any appreciation. In connection with our sales of properties, we may lend the purchaser all or a portion of the purchase price. In these instances, our taxable income may exceed the cash received in the sale. The terms of payment will be affected by custom practices in the area in which the investment being sold is located and the then-prevailing economic conditions.

Borrowing Policies

We intend to use secured and unsecured debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related assets. Our ability to enhance our investment returns and to increase our diversification by acquiring assets using additional funds provided through borrowing could be adversely affected if banks and other lending institutions reduce the amount of funds available for the types of loans we seek. When interest rates are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain assets for cash with the intention of obtaining debt financing at a later time. We may also utilize derivative financial instruments such as fixed interest rate swaps and caps to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

We anticipate that after our initial phase of operations (prior to the investment of all of the net proceeds of our offerings of shares of our common stock) when we may employ greater amounts of leverage, aggregate borrowings, both secured and unsecured, will not exceed 60.0% of the combined fair market value of all of our real estate and real estate-related investments, as determined at the end of each calendar year beginning with our first full year of operations. For these purposes, the fair market value of each asset will be equal to the purchase price paid for the asset or, if the asset was appraised subsequent to the date of purchase, then the fair market value will be equal to the value reported in the most recent independent appraisal of the asset. Our policies do not limit the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual investment. As of December 31, 2010, our aggregate borrowings were 36.5% of the combined fair market value of all of our real estate and real estate-related investments.

Our board of directors reviews our aggregate borrowings at least quarterly to ensure that such borrowings are reasonable in relation to our net assets. Our borrowing policies provide that the maximum amount of such borrowings in relation to our net assets will not exceed 300.0% of our net assets, unless any excess in such borrowing is approved by a majority of our directors and is disclosed in our next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess. For purposes of this determination, net assets are our total assets, other than intangibles, valued at cost before deducting depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other similar non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. We compute our leverage at least quarterly on a consistently applied basis. Generally, the preceding calculation is expected to approximate 75.0% of the sum of the aggregate cost of our real estate and real estate-related assets before depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other similar non-cash reserves. As of March 10, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our leverage did not exceed 300.0% of the value of our net assets.

By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This generally allows us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, potentially resulting in enhanced investment returns and a more diversified portfolio. However, our use of leverage increases the risk of default on loan payments and the resulting foreclosure of a particular asset. In addition, lenders may have recourse to assets other than those specifically securing the repayment of the indebtedness.

We will use our best efforts to obtain financing on the most favorable terms available to us and we will refinance assets during the term of a loan only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing loan, when an existing loan matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the refinancing and an increase in diversification of assets owned if all or a portion of the refinancing proceeds are reinvested.

Our charter restricts us from borrowing money from any of our directors or from our advisor or its affiliates unless such loan is approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.

Board Review of Our Investment Policies

Our board of directors has established written policies on investments and borrowing. Our board of directors is responsible for monitoring the administrative procedures, investment operations and performance of our company and our advisor to ensure such policies are carried out. Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that our policies are in the best interest of our stockholders. Each determination and the basis thereof is required to be set forth in the minutes of our applicable meetings of our directors. Implementation of our investment policies also may vary as new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies may not be altered by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders.

As required by our charter, our independent directors have reviewed our policies outlined above and determined that they are in the best interest of our stockholders because: (1) they increase the likelihood that we will be able to acquire a diversified portfolio of income-producing properties, thereby reducing risk in our portfolio; (2) there are sufficient property acquisition opportunities with the attributes that we seek; (3) our executive officers, directors and affiliates of our advisor have expertise with the type of real estate investments we seek; and (4) our borrowings will enable us to purchase assets and earn rental income more quickly, thereby increasing our likelihood of generating income for our stockholders and preserving stockholder capital.

Tax Status

We have not yet elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and we intend to be taxed as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to currently distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders.

If we fail to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Distribution Policy

In order to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other things, we are required to distribute 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. We cannot predict if we will generate sufficient cash flow to pay cash distributions to our stockholders on an ongoing basis or at all. The amount of any cash distributions will be determined by our board of directors and will depend on the amount of distributable funds, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations, any limitations imposed by the terms of indebtedness we may incur and other factors. If our investments produce sufficient cash flow, we expect to pay distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis. Because our cash available for distribution in any year may be less than 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, for the year, we may be required to borrow money, use proceeds from the issuance of securities (in our offering or subsequent offerings, if any) or sell assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement. These methods of obtaining funds could affect future distributions by increasing operating costs. We have not established any limit on the amount of offering proceeds that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (3) jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

To the extent that distributions to our stockholders are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions are taxable as ordinary income. To the extent that our distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such amounts constitute a return of capital to our stockholders for federal income tax purposes, to the extent of their basis in their stock, and thereafter will constitute capital gain. All or a portion of a distribution to stockholders may be paid from net offering proceeds and thus, constitute a return of capital to our stockholders.

Monthly distributions are calculated with daily record dates so distribution benefits begin to accrue immediately upon becoming a stockholder. However, our board of directors could, at any time, elect to pay distributions quarterly to reduce administrative costs. Subject to applicable REIT rules, generally we intend to reinvest proceeds from the sale, financing, refinancing or other disposition of our properties through the purchase of additional properties, although we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to do so.

The amount of distributions we pay to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code and restrictions imposed by our organizational documents and Maryland Law.

See Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Distributions, for a further discussion on distribution rates approved by our board of directors.

Competition

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities, including national, regional and local operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare real estate properties. The competition for healthcare real estate properties may significantly increase the price we must pay for medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities or other assets we seek to acquire, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring those properties or assets themselves. In addition, our potential acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive because they may have greater resources, may be willing to pay more for the properties or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger healthcare real estate REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase. This competition will result in increased demand for these assets, and therefore, increased prices paid for them. Due to an increased interest in single-property acquisitions among tax-motivated individual purchasers, we may pay higher prices if we purchase single properties in comparison with portfolio acquisitions. If we pay higher prices for medical office buildings or healthcare-related facilities, our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders may be materially and adversely affected and our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investment.

Government Regulations

Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.

Costs of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements for access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with present requirements of the ADA, none of our properties have been audited, nor have investigations of our properties been conducted to determine compliance. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. We may incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other legislation.

Costs of Government Environmental Regulation and Private Litigation. Environmental laws and regulations hold us liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances which may be on our properties. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we are responsible for the presence or release of the hazardous materials. Government investigations and remediation actions may have substantial costs and the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. Various laws also impose liability on a person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and such person often must incur the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. As the owner and operator of our properties, we may be deemed to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.

Other Federal, State and Local Regulations. Our properties will be subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various requirements, we may incur governmental fines or private damage awards. While we believe that our properties will be in material compliance with all of these regulatory requirements, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. We believe, based in part on engineering reports which are generally obtained at the time we acquire the properties, that all of our properties comply in all material respects with current regulations. However, if we were required to make significant expenditures under applicable regulations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions could be adversely affected.

Significant Tenants

As of December 31, 2010, three of our tenants at our consolidated properties accounted for 10.0% or more of our aggregate annualized base rent, as follows:

						Percentage of
		Annualized				Annualized						GLA				Lease Expiration
Tenant		Base Rent(1)				Base Rent				Property		(Square Feet)				Date
Landmark Holdings of Missouri, LLC		$	2,620,000				14.4	%		Monument Long-Term Acute Care Hospital Portfolio			85,000			10/31/25
Kissito Healthcare		$	2,249,000				12.4	%		Virginia Skilled Nursing Facility Portfolio			144,000			01/31/25
Laurel Health Care Company		$	2,034,000				11.2	%		Virginia Skilled Nursing Facility Portfolio			88,000			various - 2016 to 2025

Geographic Concentration

Based on leases in effect as of December 31, 2010, we owned properties in four states for which each state accounted for 10.0% or more of our annualized base rent. Virginia accounted for 23.6% of annualized base rent, Ohio accounted for 16.0% of annualized base rent, Texas accounted for 13.0% of annualized base rent and Oklahoma accounted for 10.7% of annualized base rent. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each state’s economy. For a further discussion, see Item 2. Properties — Geographic Diversification/Concentration Table.

Employees

We have no employees and our executive officers are all employees of our advisor and/or its affiliates. Our day-to-day management is performed by our advisor and its affiliates. We cannot determine at this time if or when we might hire any employees, although we do not anticipate hiring any employees for the next twelve months. We do not directly compensate our executive officers for services rendered to us. However, our executive officers, consultants and the executive officers and key employees of our advisor are eligible for awards pursuant to the 2009 Incentive Plan, or our incentive plan. As of December 31, 2010, no awards had been granted to our executive officers, consultants or the executive officers or key employees of our advisor under this plan.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity’s reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in medical office buildings, healthcare-related facilities and commercial office properties. Our investments in real estate are in different geographic regions, and management evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level. However, as each of our assets have similar economic characteristics, tenants, products and services, our assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009.

Item 1A.		Risk Factors.

Investment Risks

There is no public market for the shares of our common stock. Therefore, it will be difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares of our common stock and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares of our common stock, they will likely sell them at a substantial discount.

There currently is no public market for shares of our common stock. We do not expect a public market for our stock to develop prior to the listing of the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, which we do not expect to occur in the near future and which may not occur at all. Additionally, our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, and these restrictions may inhibit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of our common stock. Our charter provides that no person may own more than 9.9% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or more than 9.9% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Any purported transfer of the shares of our common stock that would result in a violation of either of these limits will result in such shares being transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or such transfer being declared null and void. We have adopted a share repurchase plan, but it is limited in terms of the amount of shares of our common stock which may be repurchased annually and subject to our board of directors’ discretion. Our board of directors may also amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase plan upon 30 days written notice. Therefore, it will be difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares of our common stock promptly or at all. If our stockholders are able to sell their shares of our common stock, they may only be able to sell them at a substantial discount from the price they paid. This may be the result, in part, of the fact that, at the time we make our investments, the amount of funds available for investment may be reduced by up to 11.0% of the gross offering proceeds, which will be used to pay selling commissions, a dealer manager fee and other organizational and offering expenses. We also will be required to use the gross proceeds from our offering to pay acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and asset management fees. Unless our aggregate investments increase in value to compensate for these fees and expenses, which may not occur, it is unlikely that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares of our common stock, whether pursuant to our share repurchase plan or otherwise, without incurring a substantial loss. We cannot assure our stockholders that their shares of our common stock will ever appreciate in value to equal the price they paid for their shares of our common stock. Therefore, our stockholders should consider the purchase of shares of our common stock as illiquid and a long-term investment, and they must be prepared to hold their shares of our common stock for an indefinite length of time.

Our offering is considered a “blind pool” offering because we have not identified all of the real estate or real estate-related investments to acquire with the net proceeds from our offering.

We have not identified all of the real estate or real estate-related investments to acquire with the net proceeds of our offering. As a result, our offering is considered a “blind pool” offering because investors in our offering are unable to evaluate the manner in which our net proceeds are invested and the economic merits of our investments prior to subscribing for shares of our common stock. Additionally, stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the transaction terms or other financial or operational data concerning the real estate or real estate-related investments we acquire in the future.

We have a limited operating history. Therefore, our stockholders may not be able to adequately evaluate our ability to achieve our investment objectives, and the prior performance of other Grubb & Ellis Group programs may not be an accurate predictor of our future results.

We were formed in January 2009, and our offering was declared effective by the SEC on August 24, 2009, and therefore, we have a limited operating history. As a result, an investment in shares of our common stock may entail more risks than the shares of common stock of a REIT with a substantial operating history, and our stockholders should not rely on the past performance of other Grubb & Ellis Group programs to predict our future results. Our stockholders should consider our prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies like ours that do not have a substantial operating history, many of which may be beyond our control. Therefore, to be successful in this market, we must, among other things:

•

identify and acquire investments that further our investment strategy;

•

rely on our dealer manager to build, expand and maintain its network of licensed securities brokers and other agents in order to sell shares of our common stock;

•

respond to competition both for investment opportunities and potential investors in us; and

•

build and expand our operations structure to support our business.

We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving these goals, and our failure to do so could cause our stockholders to lose all or a portion of their investment.

We have experienced losses in the past, and we may experience additional losses in the future.

Historically, we have experienced net losses and we may not be profitable or realize growth in the value of our investments. Many of our losses can be attributed to start-up costs and general and administrative expenses, as well as acquisition expenses incurred in connection with purchasing properties or making other investments. For a further discussion of our operational history and the factors for our losses, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments, and the value of our stockholders’ investments may fluctuate more widely with the performance of specific investments.

We are dependent upon the net proceeds to be received from our offering to conduct our proposed activities. Our stockholders, rather than our management or our affiliates, will incur the bulk of the risk if we are unable to raise substantial funds. Our offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, whereby our dealer manager and the broker-dealers participating in our offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell shares of our common stock and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares of our common stock. As a result, we cannot assure our stockholders as to the amount of proceeds that will be raised in our offering or that we will achieve sales of the maximum offering amount. If we are unable to raise substantially more than the amount we have raised to date, we will have limited diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our investments are located and the types of investments that we make. An investment in shares of our common stock will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a diversified portfolio of investments. In such event, the likelihood of our profitability being affected by the poor performance of any single investment will increase. In addition, our fixed operating expenses, as a percentage of gross income, would be higher, and our financial condition and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected if we are unable to raise substantial funds.

If we are unable to find suitable investments, we may not have sufficient cash flows available for distributions to our stockholders.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions to our stockholders is dependent upon the performance of our advisor in selecting investments for us to acquire, selecting tenants for our properties and securing financing arrangements. Except for stockholders who purchased shares of our common stock in our offering after such time as we supplemented our prospectus to describe one or more identified investments, our stockholders generally have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments. Our stockholders must rely entirely on the management ability of our advisor and the oversight of our board of directors. Our advisor may not be successful in identifying suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if it identifies suitable investments, our investment objectives will be achieved. If we, through our advisor, are unable to find suitable investments, we will hold the net proceeds of our offering in an interest-bearing account or invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade investments. In such an event, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders would be adversely affected.

We face competition for the acquisition of medical office buildings and other healthcare-related facilities, which may impede our ability to make acquisitions or may increase the cost of these acquisitions and may reduce our profitability and could cause our stockholders to experience a lower return on their investment.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities, including national, regional and local operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare real estate properties. The competition for healthcare real estate properties may significantly increase the price we must pay for medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities or other assets we seek to acquire, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring those properties or assets themselves. In addition, our potential acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive because they may have greater resources, may be willing to pay more for the properties or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger healthcare real estate REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase. This competition will result in increased demand for these assets, and therefore, increased prices paid for them. Due to an increased interest in single-property acquisitions among tax-motivated individual purchasers, we may pay higher prices if we purchase single properties in comparison with portfolio acquisitions. If we pay higher prices for medical office buildings or healthcare-related facilities, our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders may be materially and adversely affected and our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investment.

Our stockholders may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock because their ability to have their shares of our common stock repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase plan is subject to significant restrictions and limitations.

Our share repurchase plan includes significant restrictions and limitations. Except in cases of death or qualifying disability, our stockholders must hold their shares of our common stock for at least one year. Requesting stockholders must present at least 25.0% of their shares of our common stock for repurchase and until they have held their shares of our common stock for at least four years, repurchases will be made for less than they paid for their shares of our common stock. Shares of our common stock may be repurchased quarterly, at our discretion, on a pro rata basis, and are limited during any calendar year to 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. Funds for the repurchase of shares of our common stock come exclusively from the cumulative proceeds we receive from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP. In addition, our board of directors may reject share repurchase requests in its sole discretion and reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase plan at any time upon 30 days written notice. Therefore, in making a decision to purchase shares of our common stock, our stockholders should not assume that they will be able to sell any of their shares of our common stock back to us pursuant to our share repurchase plan and they also should understand that the repurchase price will not necessarily correlate to the value of our real estate holdings or other assets. If our board of directors terminates our share repurchase plan, our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of our common stock even if they deem it necessary or desirable to do so.

Our advisor may be entitled to receive significant compensation in the event of our liquidation or in connection with a termination of the Advisory Agreement.

We are externally advised by our advisor pursuant to an Advisory Agreement between us and our advisor, which has a one-year term that expires June 1, 2011 and is subject to successive one-year renewals upon the mutual consent of the parties. In the event of a partial or full liquidation of our assets, our advisor will be entitled to receive an incentive distribution equal to 15.0% of the net proceeds of the liquidation, after we have received and paid to our stockholders the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock and any shortfall in an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return to stockholders in the aggregate. In the event of a termination of the Advisory Agreement in connection with the listing of our common stock, the Advisory Agreement provides that our advisor will receive an incentive distribution equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the market value of our outstanding common stock plus distributions paid by us prior to the listing of the shares of our common stock on a national

securities exchange, exceeds (2) the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock plus an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock. Upon our advisor’s receipt of the incentive distribution upon listing, our advisor’s limited partnership units will be redeemed and our advisor will not be entitled to receive any further incentive distributions upon sales of our properties. Further, in connection with the termination of the Advisory Agreement other than due to a listing of the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, our advisor shall be entitled to receive a distribution equal to the amount that would be payable as an incentive distribution upon sales of properties, which equals 15.0% of the net proceeds if we liquidated all of our assets at fair market value, after we have received and paid to our stockholders the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock and any shortfall in the annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return to our stockholders in the aggregate. Upon our advisor’s receipt of this distribution, our advisor’s limited partnership units will be redeemed and our advisor will not be entitled to receive any further incentive distributions upon sales of our properties. Any amounts to be paid to our advisor in connection with the termination of the Advisory Agreement cannot be determined at the present time, but such amounts, if paid, will reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may not effect a liquidity event within our targeted time frame of five years after the completion of our offering stage, or at all. If we do not effect a liquidity event, our stockholders may have to hold their investment in shares of our common stock for an indefinite period of time.

On a limited basis, our stockholders may be able to sell shares of our common stock through our share repurchase plan. However, in the future we may also consider various forms of liquidity events, including but not limited to: (1) the listing of the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange; (2) our sale or merger in a transaction that provides our stockholders with a combination of cash and/or securities of a publicly traded company; and (3) the sale of all or substantially all of our real estate and real estate-related investments for cash or other consideration. We presently intend to effect a liquidity event within five years after the completion of our offering stage, which we deem to be the completion of our offering and any subsequent public offerings, or our offerings, excluding any offerings pursuant to the DRIP or that is limited to any benefit plans. However, we are not obligated, through our charter or otherwise, to effectuate a liquidity event and may not effect a liquidity event within such time or at all. If we do not effect a liquidity event, it will be very difficult for our stockholders to have liquidity for their investment in the shares of our common stock other than limited liquidity through our share repurchase plan.

Because a portion of the offering price from the sale of shares of our common stock in our offering is used to pay expenses and fees, the full offering price paid by our stockholders is not invested in real estate investments. As a result, our stockholders will only receive a full return of their invested capital if we either (1) sell our assets or our company for a sufficient amount in excess of the original purchase price of our assets, or (2) list the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange and the market value of our company after we list is substantially in excess of the original purchase price of our assets.

Our board of directors may change our investment objectives without seeking our stockholders’ approval.

Our board of directors may change our investment objectives without seeking our stockholders’ approval if our directors, in accordance with their fiduciary duties to our stockholders, determine that a change is in our stockholders’ best interest. A change in our investment objectives could reduce our payment of cash distributions to our stockholders or cause a decline in the value of our investments.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have not had sufficient cash available from operations to pay distributions, and, therefore, we have paid distributions from the net proceeds of our offering, from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows or from other sources, such as our sponsor. Any such distributions may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in assets and negatively impact the value of our stockholders’ investment.

Distributions payable to our stockholders may include a return of capital, rather than a return on capital. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from our offering that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (3) jeopardize our ability to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT. The actual amount and timing of distributions are determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion and typically will depend on the amount of funds available for distribution, which will depend on items such as our financial condition, current and projected capital expenditure requirements, tax considerations and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency vary from time to time.

We have used, and in the future may use, the net proceeds from our offering, borrowed funds, or other sources, such as our sponsor, to pay cash distributions to our stockholders in order to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, which may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds. As a result, the amount of net proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or we may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds. Further, if the aggregate amount of cash distributed in any given year exceeds the amount of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess amount will be deemed a return of capital.

Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2010, as a result of our sponsor advising us that it intended to fund these distributions until we acquired our first property. We acquired our first property, Lacombe Medical Office Building, on March 5, 2010. Our sponsor did not receive any additional shares of our common stock or other consideration for funding these distributions, and we will not repay the funds provided by our sponsor for these distributions. Our sponsor is not obligated to contribute monies to fund any subsequent distributions. Subsequently, our board of directors authorized, on a quarterly basis, a daily distribution to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the quarterly periods commencing on July 1, 2010 and ending on March 31, 2011.

The distributions are calculated based on 365 days in the calendar year and are equal to $0.0017808 per day per share of common stock, which is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5%, assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. These distributions are aggregated and paid in cash or shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP monthly in arrears. The distributions declared for each record date are paid only from legally available funds. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue this distribution rate or pay any subsequent distributions to our stockholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid distributions of $4,072,000 ($2,087,000 in cash and $1,985,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP), none of which were paid from cash flows from operations of $(2,881,000). $259,000, or 6.4% of the distributions, were paid using funds from our sponsor. The distributions in excess of our cash flows from operations and funds from our sponsor were paid from offering proceeds. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, acquisition related expenses are expensed, and therefore, subtracted from cash flows from operations. However, these expenses are paid from offering proceeds.

For a further discussion of distributions, see Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Distributions and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Distributions.

As of December 31, 2010, we had an amount payable of $194,000 to our advisor or its affiliates for asset and property management fees, operating expenses, on-site personnel and engineering payroll and lease commissions, which will be paid from cash flows from operations in the future as they become due and payable by us in the ordinary course of business consistent with our past practice.

As of December 31, 2010, no amounts due to our advisor or its affiliates have been deferred, waived or forgiven. Our advisor and its affiliates have no obligations to defer, waive or forgive amounts due to them. In the future, if our advisor or its affiliates do not defer, waive or forgive amounts due to them, this would negatively affect our cash flows from operations, which could result in us paying distributions, or a portion thereof, with the net proceeds from our offering, funds from our sponsor or borrowed funds. As a result, the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or we may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our funds from operations, or FFO, was $(3,837,000). For the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid distributions of $259,000, or 6.4%, using funds from our sponsor and $3,813,000, or 93.6%, from proceeds from our offering. The payment of distributions from sources other than FFO may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds. For a further discussion of FFO, which includes a reconciliation of our GAAP net loss to FFO, see Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

We may suffer from delays in locating suitable investments, which could reduce our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and reduce their return on their investment.

There may be a substantial period of time before all of the proceeds of our offering are invested in suitable investments, particularly as a result of the current economic environment and capital constraints. Because we are conducting our offering on a “best efforts” basis over time, our ability to commit to purchase specific assets will also depend, in part, on the amount of proceeds we have received at a given time. If we are delayed or unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions to our stockholders.

The availability and timing of cash distributions to our stockholders is uncertain. If we fail to pay distributions, our stockholders’ investment in shares of our common stock could suffer.

We expect to continue to pay monthly distributions to our stockholders. However, we bear all expenses incurred in our operations, which are deducted from cash flows generated by operations prior to computing the amount of cash distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such funds for working capital. We cannot assure our stockholders that sufficient cash will be available to pay distributions to them monthly, or at all. Should we fail for any reason to distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, we would not qualify for the favorable tax treatment accorded to REITs.

We are uncertain of all of our sources of debt or equity for funding our capital needs. If we cannot obtain funding on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire and make necessary capital improvements to properties may be impaired or delayed.

We intend to use the gross proceeds of our offering to buy a diversified portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments and to pay various fees and expenses. In addition, to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, each year, excluding capital gains. Because of this distribution requirement, it is not likely that we will be able to fund a significant portion of our capital needs from retained earnings. We have not identified all of our sources of debt or equity for funding, and such sources of funding may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we do not have access to sufficient funding in the future, we may not be able to acquire and make necessary capital improvements to properties, pay other expenses or expand our business.

We intend to incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to pay distributions and could decrease the value of our stockholders’ investment.

We have financed and will continue to finance a portion of the purchase price of our investments in real estate and real estate-related investments by borrowing funds. We anticipate that, after an initial phase of our operations (prior to the investment of all of the net proceeds of our offerings of shares of our common stock) when we may employ greater amounts of leverage to enable us to purchase properties more quickly, and therefore, generate distributions for our stockholders sooner, our overall leverage will not exceed 60.0% of the combined market value of our real estate and real estate-related investments, as determined at the end of each calendar year beginning with our first full year of operations. Under our charter, we have a limitation on borrowing that precludes us from borrowing in excess of 300.0% of our net assets, without the approval of a majority of our independent directors. Net assets for purposes of this calculation are defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. Generally speaking, the preceding calculation is expected to approximate 75.0% of the aggregate cost of our real estate and real estate-related investments before depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other similar non-cash reserves. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge some or all of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties or for working capital. We may also borrow funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. Furthermore, we may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

High debt levels may cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If there is a shortfall between the cash flows from a property and the cash flows needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount available for distributions to our stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of our stockholders’ investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties will be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we will recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgage contains cross collateralization or cross default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

Higher mortgage rates may make it more difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire and the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

If mortgage debt is unavailable on reasonable terms as a result of increased interest rates or other factors, we may not be able to finance the initial purchase of properties. In addition, if we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance such debt when the loans come due, or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance debt, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance debt at appropriate times, which may require us to sell properties on terms that are not advantageous to us, or could result in the foreclosure of such properties. If any of these events occur, our cash flows would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise more capital by issuing securities or by borrowing more money.

The ongoing market disruptions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

The global financial markets have been undergoing pervasive and fundamental disruptions. The continuation or intensification of any such volatility may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and could lead to a further weakening of the U.S. and global economies. To the extent that turmoil in the financial markets continues and/or intensifies, it has the potential to materially affect the value of our properties and other investments, the availability or the terms of financing that we may anticipate utilizing, our ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance, any outstanding debt when due and/or the ability of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. The ongoing market disruptions could also affect our operating results and financial condition as follows:

•

Debt and Equity Markets — Our results of operations are sensitive to the volatility of the credit markets. The real estate debt markets have been experiencing volatility as a result of certain factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies and the significant inventory of unsold commercial mortgage-backed securities in the market. Credit spreads for major sources of capital have widened significantly as investors have demanded a higher risk premium. This is resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing. Should the overall cost of borrowings increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our acquisitions, developments and property contributions. This may result in our property operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flows, which could potentially

impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, the ongoing dislocations in the debt markets have reduced the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (1) limits the ability of real estate investors to benefit from reduced real estate values or to realize enhanced returns on real estate investments; (2) has slowed real estate transaction activity; and (3) may result in an inability to refinance debt as it becomes due, all of which may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues, income and/or cash flows from the acquisition and operations of real estate and mortgage loans. In addition, the state of the debt markets could have an impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets and impact our ability to raise equity capital.

•

Valuations — The ongoing market volatility will likely make the valuation of our properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment charge in earnings.

•

Government Intervention — The pervasive and fundamental disruptions that the global financial markets have been undergoing have led to extensive and unprecedented governmental intervention. Although the government intervention is intended to stimulate the flow of capital and to undergird the U.S. economy in the short term, it is impossible to predict the actual effect of the government intervention and what effect, if any, additional interim or permanent governmental intervention may have on the financial markets and/or the effect of such intervention on us and our results of operations. In addition, there is a high likelihood that regulation of the financial markets will be significantly increased in the future, which could have a material impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Our results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and our ability to dispose of our investments are subject to international, national and local economic factors we cannot control or predict.

Our results of operations are subject to the risks of an international or national economic slowdown or downturn and other changes in international, national and local economic conditions. The following factors may affect income from our properties, our ability to acquire and dispose of properties, and yields from our properties:

•

poor economic times may result in defaults by tenants of our properties due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, or operational failures. We may also be required to provide rent concessions or reduced rental rates to maintain or increase occupancy levels;

•

reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

•

the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investment or other factors;

•

our lender under our line of credit could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could fail and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of such lender on favorable terms, or at all;

•

one or more counterparties to our interest rate swaps could default on their obligations to us or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments;

•

increases in supply of competing properties or decreases in demand for our properties may impact our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rents;

•

constricted access to credit may result in tenant defaults or non-renewals under leases;

•

job transfers and layoffs may cause vacancies to increase and a lack of future population and job growth may make it difficult to maintain or increase occupancy levels; and

•

increased insurance premiums, real estate taxes or utilities or other expenses may reduce funds available for distribution or, to the extent such increases are passed through to tenants, may lead to tenant defaults. Also, any such increased expenses may make it difficult to increase rents to tenants on turnover, which may limit our ability to increase our returns.

The length and severity of any economic slowdown or downturn cannot be predicted. Our results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and our ability to dispose of our investments may be negatively impacted to the extent an economic slowdown or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.

Increasing vacancy rates for commercial real estate resulting from ongoing disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could reduce revenue and the resale value of our properties.

We depend upon tenants for a majority of our revenue from real property investments. Ongoing disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a trend toward increasing vacancy rates for virtually all classes of commercial real estate, including medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities, due to generally lower demand for rentable space, as well as potential oversupply of rentable space. Increased unemployment rates have led to reduced demand for medical services, causing physician groups and hospitals to delay expansion plans, leaving a growing number of vacancies in new buildings. Reduced demand for medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities could require us to increase concessions, tenant improvement expenditures or reduce rental rates to maintain occupancies beyond those anticipated at the time we acquire the property. In addition, the market value of a particular property could be diminished by prolonged vacancies. The continuation of disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could impact certain properties we acquire and such properties could experience higher levels of vacancy than anticipated at the time we acquire them. The value of our real estate investments could decrease below the amounts we paid for the investments. Revenues from properties could decrease due to lower occupancy rates, reduced rental rates and potential increases in uncollectible rent. We will incur expenses, such as for maintenance costs, insurance costs and property taxes, even though a property is vacant. The longer the period of significant vacancies for a property, the greater the potential negative impact on our revenues and results of operations.

We are dependent on tenants for our revenue, and lease terminations could reduce our distributions to our stockholders.

The successful performance of our real estate investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants. Lease payment defaults by tenants would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such leases and could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to our stockholders. If the property is subject to a mortgage, a default by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us may result in a foreclosure on the property if we are unable to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. Further, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to re-lease the property for the rent previously received, if at all, or that lease terminations will not cause us to sell the property at a loss.

If a tenant declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.

Any of our current or future tenants, or any guarantor of one of our current or future tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the U.S. Such a bankruptcy filing would bar us from attempting to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the bankrupt tenant or its properties unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. Post-bankruptcy debts would be paid currently. If we assume a lease, all pre-bankruptcy balances owing under it must be paid in full. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have a general unsecured claim for damages. If a lease is rejected, it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant because our claim would be capped at the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year or 15.0% of the remaining term of the lease, but not greater than three years, plus rent already due but unpaid. This claim could be paid only in the event funds were available, and then only in the same percentage as that realized on other unsecured claims.

The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant lease, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. Such an event also could cause a decrease or cessation of current rental payments, reducing our cash flows and the amount available for distributions to our stockholders. In the event a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy, the tenant or its trustee may not assume our lease or its guaranty. If a given lease or guaranty is not assumed, our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

Long-term leases may not result in fair market lease rates over time; therefore, our income and our distributions could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.

We may enter into long-term leases with tenants of certain of our properties. Our long-term leases would likely provide for rent to increase over time. However, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases, the rent under our long-term leases is less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our income and distributions could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.

We may incur additional costs in acquiring or re-leasing properties, which could adversely affect the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We have and may continue to invest in properties designed or built primarily for a particular tenant of a specific type of use known as a single-user facility. If the tenant fails to renew its lease or defaults on its lease obligations, we may not be able to readily market a single-user facility to a new tenant without making substantial capital improvements or incurring other significant re-leasing costs. We also may incur significant litigation costs in enforcing our rights as a landlord against the defaulting tenant. These consequences could adversely affect our revenues and reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant or other capital improvements, which could limit our ability to attract, or replace or retain tenants and decrease our stockholders’ return on their investment.

When tenants do not renew their leases or otherwise vacate their space, it is common that, in order to attract replacement tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to the vacated space. Such tenant improvements may require us to incur substantial capital expenditures. If we have not established capital reserves for such tenant or other capital improvements, we will have to obtain financing from other sources and we have not identified any sources for such financing. We may also have future financing needs for other capital improvements to refurbish or renovate our properties. If we need to secure financing sources for tenant improvements or other capital improvements in the future, but are unable to secure such financing or are unable to secure financing on terms we feel are acceptable, we may be unable to make tenant and other capital improvements or we may be required to defer such improvements. If this happens, it may cause one or more of our properties to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a greater risk of decreased cash flows as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property or existing tenants not renewing their leases. If we do not have access to sufficient funding in the future, we may not be able to make necessary capital improvements to our properties, pay other expenses or pay distributions to stockholders.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our advisor and certain key personnel.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to conduct our operations is dependent upon the performance of our advisor in identifying and acquiring investments, the determination of any financing arrangements, the asset management of our investments and the management of our day-to-day activities. Our advisor has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from our offering and our stockholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments that are not described in our prospectus or our periodic filings with the SEC. We rely on the management ability of our advisor, subject to the oversight and approval of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors should not purchase shares of our common stock unless they are willing to entrust all aspects of our day-to-day management to our advisor. If our advisor suffers or is distracted by adverse financial or operational problems in connection with its own operations or the operations of our sponsor

unrelated to us, our advisor may be unable to allocate time and/or resources to our operations. If our advisor is unable to allocate sufficient resources to oversee and perform our operations for any reason, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives or to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our advisor’s officers and certain of the officers and employees of our sponsor, who manage our advisor, in particular Mr. Hanson and Mr. Prosky, each of whom would be difficult to replace. Mr. Hanson and Mr. Prosky currently serve as our executive officers and Mr. Hanson and Mr. Prosky currently serve as two of our directors. In the event that Mr. Hanson or Mr. Prosky are no longer employed by our sponsor, for any reason, such person would automatically resign from our company. The termination of Mr. Hanson’s or Mr. Prosky’s employment with our sponsor could have a material adverse effect on our success and our sponsor may not be able to attract and hire as capable individuals to replace Mr. Hanson and/or Mr. Prosky. We do not have key man life insurance on any of our sponsor’s key personnel. If our advisor or our sponsor were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.

The fees we will pay our advisor under the Advisory Agreement and the distributions payable to our advisor under our operating partnership agreement were not determined on an arm’s-length basis, and therefore, may not be on the same terms as those we could negotiate with an unrelated party.

Our independent directors relied on information and recommendations provided by our advisor to determine the fees and distributions payable to our advisor and its affiliates under the Advisory Agreement and pursuant to the subordinated participation interest in our operating partnership. As a result, these fees and distributions cannot be viewed as having been determined on an arm’s-length basis and we cannot assure our stockholders that an unaffiliated party would not be willing and able to provide to us the same services at a lower price.

Our advisor may terminate the Advisory Agreement, which could require us to pay substantial fees and may require us to find a new advisor.

Either we or our advisor can terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the other party. However, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated in connection with the listing of shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, our advisor will receive an incentive distribution equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the market value of the outstanding shares of our common stock plus distributions paid by us prior to listing, exceeds (2) the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock plus an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock. Upon our advisor’s receipt of the incentive distribution upon listing, our advisor’s limited partnership units will be redeemed and our advisor will not be entitled to receive any further incentive distributions upon sales of our properties. Further, in connection with the termination of the Advisory Agreement other than due to a listing of the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, our advisor shall be entitled to receive a distribution equal to the amount that would be payable to our advisor pursuant to the incentive distribution upon sales if we liquidated all of our assets for their fair market value. Upon our advisor’s receipt of this distribution, our advisor’s limited partnership units will be redeemed and our advisor will not be entitled to receive any further incentive distributions upon sales of our properties. Any amounts to be paid to our advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement cannot be determined at the present time.

If our advisor was to terminate the Advisory Agreement, we would need to find another advisor to provide us with day-to-day management services or have employees to provide these services directly to us. There can be no assurances that we would be able to find a new advisor or employees or enter into agreements for such services on acceptable terms.

If we internalize our management functions, we could incur significant costs associated with being self-managed.

Our strategy may involve internalizing our management functions. If we internalize our management functions, we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we expect to pay to our advisor under the Advisory Agreement; however our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting, and other expenses related to corporate governance, SEC reporting and compliance. We would also incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that are now paid by our advisor or its affiliates. In addition, we may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants, which awards would decrease net income and FFO, and may further dilute your investment. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount of fees to our advisor we would save and the costs we would incur if we became self-managed. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we no longer pay to our advisor, our net income per share and FFO per share may be lower as a result of the internalization than they otherwise would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to you.

As currently organized, we do not directly have any employees. If we elect to internalize our operations, we would employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as worker’s disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances. Upon any internalization of our advisor, certain key personnel of our advisor may not be employed by us, but instead may remain employees of our sponsor or its affiliates.

If we internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions as a stand-alone entity. Currently, our advisor and its affiliates perform asset management and general and administrative functions, including accounting and financial reporting, for multiple entities. They have a great deal of know-how and can experience economies of scale. We may fail to properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a stand-alone entity. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could, therefore, result in our incurring additional costs and/or experiencing deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. Such deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from most effectively managing our properties.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our sponsor.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to conduct our operations is dependent upon the performance of our advisor, which is a subsidiary of our sponsor. Our sponsor’s business is sensitive to trends in the general economy, as well as the commercial real estate and credit markets. The current macroeconomic environment and accompanying credit crisis has negatively impacted the value of commercial real estate assets, contributing to a general slow down in our sponsor’s industry. A prolonged and pronounced recession could continue or accelerate the reduction in overall transaction volume and size of sales and leasing activities that our sponsor has already experienced, and would continue to put downward pressure on our sponsor’s revenues and operating results. To the extent that any decline in our sponsor’s revenues and operating results impacts the performance of our advisor, our results of operations and financial condition could also suffer.

Our advisor and its affiliates have no obligation to defer or forgive fees or loans or advance any funds to us, which could reduce our ability to acquire investments or pay distributions.

In the past, our sponsor or its affiliates have, in certain circumstances, deferred or forgiven fees and loans payable by programs sponsored or managed by our sponsor or its affiliates. Our advisor and its affiliates, including our sponsor, have no obligation to defer or forgive fees owed by us to our advisor or its affiliates or to advance any funds to us. As a result, we may have less cash available to acquire investments or pay distributions.

We may structure acquisitions of property in exchange for limited partnership units in our operating partnership on terms that could limit our liquidity or our flexibility.

We may acquire properties by issuing limited partnership units in our operating partnership in exchange for a property owner contributing property to the partnership. If we enter into such transactions, in order to induce the contributors of such properties to accept units in our operating partnership, rather than cash, in exchange for their properties, it may be necessary for us to provide them additional incentives. For instance, our operating partnership’s limited partnership agreement provides that any holder of units may exchange limited partnership units on a one-for-one basis for shares of our common stock, or, at our option, cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock. We may, however, enter into additional contractual arrangements with contributors of property under which we would agree to redeem a contributor’s units for shares of our common stock or cash, at the option of the contributor, at set times. If the contributor required us to redeem units for cash pursuant to such a provision, it would limit our liquidity and thus our ability to use cash to make other investments, satisfy other obligations or pay distributions to our stockholders. Moreover, if we were required to redeem units for cash at a time when we did not have sufficient cash to fund the redemption, we might be required to sell one or more properties to raise funds to satisfy this obligation. Furthermore, we might agree that if distributions the contributor received as a limited partner in our operating partnership did not provide the contributor with a defined return, then upon redemption of the contributor’s units we would pay the contributor an additional amount necessary to achieve that return. Such a provision could further negatively impact our liquidity and flexibility. Finally, in order to allow a contributor of a property to defer taxable gain on the contribution of property to our operating partnership, we might agree not to sell a contributed property for a defined period of time or until the contributor exchanged the contributor’s units for cash or shares of our common stock. Such an agreement would prevent us from selling those properties, even if market conditions made such a sale favorable to us.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and acquire investments.

We have cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally-insured levels. If any banking institution in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose the amount of our deposits over any federally-insured amount. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest and could result in a decline in the value of our stockholders’ investment.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of relationships among us, our officers, our advisor and its affiliates, including the material conflicts discussed below.

We may compete with other Grubb & Ellis Group programs for investment opportunities. As a result, our advisor may not cause us to invest in favorable investment opportunities, which may reduce our returns on our investments.

Our sponsor or its affiliates have sponsored existing programs with investment objectives and strategies similar to ours, and may sponsor other similar programs in the future. As a result, we may be buying properties at the same time as one or more of the other Grubb & Ellis Group programs managed or advised by affiliates of our advisor. Officers and employees of our advisor may face conflicts of interest in allocating investment opportunities between us and these other programs. For instance, our advisor may select properties for us that provide lower returns to us than properties that its affiliates select to be purchased by another Grubb & Ellis Group program. We cannot be sure that officers and employees acting for or on behalf of our advisor and on behalf of managers of other Grubb & Ellis Group programs will act in our best interest when deciding whether to allocate any particular investment to us. We are subject to the risk that as a result of the conflicts of interest between us, our advisor and other entities or programs managed by its affiliates, our advisor may not cause us to invest in favorable investment opportunities that our advisor locates when it would be in our best interest to make such investments. As a result, we may invest in less favorable investments, which may reduce our returns on our investments and ability to pay distributions.

The conflicts of interest faced by our officers may cause us not to be managed solely in our stockholders’ best interest, which may adversely affect our results of operations and the value of our stockholders’ investment.

All of our officers also are officers or employees of our sponsor, our advisor, and other affiliated entities that will receive fees in connection with our offering and our operations. In addition, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Prosky, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Lo and Mr. Oh each own a less than 1.0% interest in our sponsor. In addition, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Prosky, Ms. Johnson and Ms. Lo each hold options to purchase a de minimis amount of our sponsor’s outstanding common stock. Mr. Hanson also owns a de minimis interest in several other Grubb & Ellis Group programs.

Some of the Grubb & Ellis Group programs in which our officers have invested and to which they provide services, have investment objectives similar to our investment objectives. These individuals have legal and fiduciary obligations to these entities which are similar to those they owe to us and our stockholders. Their loyalties to these other entities could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy and our investment opportunities. Furthermore, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and resources between our business and these other activities. During times of intense activity in other programs, the time they devote to our business may decline and be less than we require. If our officers, for any reason, are not able to provide sufficient resources to manage our business, our business will suffer and this may adversely affect our results of operations and the value of our stockholders’ investment.

Our advisor’s officers face conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of their time and other resources among the various entities that they serve or have interests in, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

Certain of the officers of our advisor face competing demands relating to their time and resources because they are also affiliated with entities with investment programs similar to ours, and they may have other business interests as well, including business interests that currently exist and business interests they develop in the future. Because these persons have competing interests for their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. Further, during times of intense activity in other programs, those executives may devote less time and fewer resources to our business than are necessary or appropriate to manage our business. Poor or inadequate management of our business would adversely affect our results of operations and the ownership value of shares of our common stock.

Our advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to its compensation structure, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in our stockholders’ long-term best interest.

Under the Advisory Agreement and pursuant to the subordinated participation interest our advisor holds in our operating partnership, our advisor is entitled to fees and distributions that are structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our advisor to perform in both our and our stockholders’ long-term best interest. The fees to which our advisor or its affiliates are entitled include acquisition fees, asset management fees, property management fees, disposition fees and other fees as provided for under the Advisory Agreement and agreement of limited partnership with our operating partnership. The distributions our advisor may become entitled to receive would be payable upon distribution of net sales proceeds to our stockholders, the listing of the shares of our common stock, certain merger transactions or the termination of the Advisory Agreement. However, because our advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us and is entitled to receive substantial minimum compensation regardless of our performance, our advisor’s interests may not be wholly aligned with our stockholders. In that regard, our advisor or its affiliates receives an asset management fee with respect to the ongoing operation and management of properties based on the amount of our initial investment and not the performance of those investments, which could result in our advisor not having adequate incentive to manage our portfolio to provide profitable operations during the period we hold our investments. On the other hand, our advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order to increase the fees payable to our advisor or for us to generate the specified levels of performance or net sales proceeds that would entitle our advisor to fees or distributions.

Our advisor may receive economic benefits from its status as a limited partner without bearing any of the investment risk.

Our advisor is a limited partner in our operating partnership. Our advisor is entitled to receive an incentive distribution equal to 15.0% of net sales proceeds of properties after we have received and paid to our stockholders a return of their invested capital and an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on the gross proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock. We bear all of the risk associated with the properties but, as a result of the incentive distributions to our advisor, we are not entitled to all of our operating partnership’s proceeds from property dispositions.

The distribution payable to our advisor may influence our decisions about listing the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange, merging our company with another company and acquisition or disposition of our investments.

Our advisor’s entitlement to fees upon the sale of our assets and to participate in net sales proceeds could result in our advisor recommending sales of our investments at the earliest possible time at which sales of investments would produce the level of return which would entitle our advisor to compensation relating to such sales, even if continued ownership of those investments might be in our stockholders’ long-term best interest. The subordinated participation interest may require our operating partnership to make a distribution to our advisor upon the listing of the shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange or the merger of our company with another company in which our stockholders receive shares that are traded on a national securities exchange, if our advisor meets the performance thresholds included in our operating partnership’s limited partnership agreement even if our advisor is no longer serving as our advisor. To avoid making this distribution, our independent directors may decide against listing the shares of our common stock or merging with another company even if, but for the requirement to make this distribution, such listing or merger would be in our stockholders’ best interest. In addition, the requirement to pay these fees could cause our independent directors to make different investment or disposition decisions than they would otherwise make, in order to satisfy our obligation to the advisor.

We may acquire assets from, or dispose of assets to, affiliates of our advisor, which could result in us entering into transactions on less favorable terms than we would receive from a third party or that negatively affect the public’s perception of us.

We may acquire assets from affiliates of our advisor. Further, we may also dispose of assets to affiliates of our advisor. Affiliates of our advisor may make substantial profits in connection with such transactions and may owe fiduciary and/or other duties to the selling or purchasing entity in these transactions, and conflicts of interest between us and the selling or purchasing entities could exist in such transactions. Because our independent directors would rely on our advisor in identifying and evaluating any such transaction, these conflicts could result in transactions based on terms that are less favorable to us than we would receive from a third party. Also, the existence of conflicts, regardless of how they are resolved, might negatively affect the public’s perception of us.

If we enter into joint ventures with affiliates, we may face conflicts of interest or disagreements with our joint venture partners that may not be resolved as quickly or on terms as advantageous to us as would be the case if the joint venture had been negotiated at arm’s length with an independent joint venture partner.

In the event that we enter into a joint venture with any other program sponsored or advised by our sponsor or one of its affiliates, we may face certain additional risks and potential conflicts of interest. For example, securities issued by the other Grubb & Ellis Group programs may never have an active trading market. Therefore, if we were to become listed on a national securities exchange, we may no longer have similar goals and objectives with respect to the resale of properties in the future. Joint ventures between us and other Grubb & Ellis Group programs will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Under these joint venture agreements, none of the co-venturers may have the power to control the venture, and an impasse could occur regarding matters pertaining to the joint venture, including determining when and whether to buy or sell a particular property and the timing of a liquidation, which might have a negative impact on the joint venture and decrease returns to our stockholders.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Several potential events could cause our stockholders’ investment in us to be diluted, which may reduce the overall value of their investment.

Our stockholders’ investment in us could be diluted by a number of factors, including:

•

future offerings of our securities, including issuances pursuant to the DRIP and up to 200,000,000 shares of any preferred stock that our board of directors may authorize;

•

private issuances of our securities to other investors, including institutional investors;

•

issuances of our securities pursuant to our incentive plan; or

•

redemptions of units of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership in exchange for shares of our common stock.

To the extent we issue additional equity interests after our stockholders purchase shares of our common stock in our offering, their percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our real estate and real estate-related investments, our stockholders may also experience dilution in the book value and fair market value of their shares of our common stock.

Our ability to issue preferred stock may include a preference in distributions superior to our common stock and also may deter or prevent a sale of shares of our common stock in which our stockholders could profit.

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the discretion to establish the preferences and rights, including a preference in distributions superior to our common stockholders, of any issued preferred stock. If we authorize and issue preferred stock with a distribution preference over our common stock, payment of any distribution preferences of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions on our common stock. Further, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up before any payment is made to our common stockholders, likely reducing the amount our common stockholders would otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or a separate class or series of common stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage:

•

a merger, tender offer or proxy contest;

•

assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities; or

•

removal of incumbent management.

The limit on the percentage of shares of our common stock that any person may own may discourage a takeover or business combination that may have benefited our stockholders.

Our charter restricts the direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.9% of the value of our then outstanding capital stock (which includes common stock and any preferred stock we may issue) and no more than 9.9% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our then outstanding common stock. This restriction may discourage a change of control of us and may deter individuals or entities from making tender offers for shares of our stock on terms that might be financially attractive to our stockholders or which may cause a change in our management. This ownership restriction may also prohibit business combinations that would have otherwise been approved by our board of directors and our stockholders. In addition to deterring potential transactions that may be favorable to our stockholders, these provisions may also decrease their ability to sell their shares of our common stock.

Our stockholders’ ability to control our operations is severely limited.

Our board of directors determines our major strategies, including our strategies regarding investments, financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other strategies without a vote of the stockholders. Our charter sets forth the stockholder voting rights required to be set forth therein under the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association, or the NASAA Guidelines. Under our charter and Maryland law, our stockholders have a right to vote only on the following matters:

•

the election or removal of directors;

•

any amendment of our charter, except that our board of directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to change our name or the name of other designation or the par value of any class or series of our stock and the aggregate par value of our stock, increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares of stock, increase or decrease the number of our shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue, effect certain reverse stock splits, or qualify as a REIT under the Code;

•

our dissolution; and

•

certain mergers, consolidations and sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of our assets.

All other matters are subject to the discretion of our board of directors.

Limitations on share ownership and transfer may deter a sale of our common stock in which our stockholders could profit.

The limits on ownership and transfer of our equity securities in our charter may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our stockholders’ common stock. The ownership limits and restrictions on transferability will continue to apply until our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT.

Maryland takeover statutes may deter others from seeking to acquire us and prevent our stockholders from making a profit in such transaction.

The Maryland General Corporation Law, or the MGCL, contains many provisions, such as the business combination statute and the control share acquisition statute, that are designed to prevent, or have the effect of preventing, someone from acquiring control of us. Our bylaws exempt us from the control share acquisition statute (which eliminates voting rights for certain levels of shares that could exercise control over us) and our board of directors has adopted a resolution opting out of the business combination statute (which, among other things, prohibits a merger or consolidation with a 10.0% stockholder for a period of time) with respect to our affiliates. However, if the bylaw provisions exempting us from the control share acquisition statute or our board resolution opting out of the business combination statute were repealed, these provisions of Maryland law could delay or prevent offers to acquire us and increase the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if such a transaction would be in our stockholders’ best interest.

The MGCL and our organizational documents limit our stockholders’ right to bring claims against our officers and directors.

The MGCL provides that a director will not have any liability as a director so long as he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interest, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter provides that, subject to the applicable limitations set forth therein or under the MGCL, no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages. Our charter also provides that we will generally indemnify our directors, our officers, our advisor and its affiliates for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities unless: (1) their act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2) they actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, they had reasonable cause to believe the act or omission was unlawful. Moreover, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against these persons than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases. However, our charter also provides that we may not indemnify or hold harmless our directors, our advisor and its affiliates unless they have determined that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interest, they were acting on our behalf or performing services for us, the liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct by our non-independent directors, our advisor and its affiliates or gross negligence or willful misconduct by our independent directors, and the indemnification is recoverable only out of our net assets or the proceeds of insurance and not from our stockholders.

Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired and may limit our stockholders’ ability to dispose of their shares of our common stock.

Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:

•

any person who beneficially owns 10.0% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or

•

an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10.0% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.

A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

•

80.0% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

•

two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares of stock held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares of our common stock in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares of our common stock. The business combination statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Our board of directors has adopted a resolution providing that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from this statute, provided that such business combination is first approved by our board of directors. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. If this resolution is repealed or our board of directors fails to first approve the business combination, the business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Our charter includes a provision that may discourage a stockholder from launching a tender offer for shares of our common stock.

Our charter requires that any tender offer made by a person, including any “mini-tender” offer, must comply with Regulation 14D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The offeror must provide us notice of the tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offeror does not comply with these requirements, we will have the right to repurchase that person’s shares of our stock and any shares of our stock acquired in such tender offer. In addition, the non-complying offeror shall be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that stockholders’ noncompliance. This provision of our charter may discourage a person from initiating a tender offer for shares of our common stock and prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium price for their shares of our common stock in such a transaction.

Our stockholders’ investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. To avoid registration as an investment company, we may not be able to operate our business successfully. If we become subject to registration under the Investment Company Act, we may not be able to continue our business.

We are not registered, and do not intend to register, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If for any reason, we were required to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act imposing, among other things:

•

limitations on capital structure;

•

restrictions on specified investments;

•

prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and

•

compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations.

In order for us not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we intend to engage, through our operating partnership and subsidiaries, primarily in the business of buying real estate. We expect that investments in real estate will represent the substantial majority of our total asset mix, which would not subject us to the Investment Company Act by virtue of the definition of “investment company” provided in Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

In the event that any of our subsidiaries are deemed to be an investment company pursuant to Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, such subsidiaries would have to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. To rely upon Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act such subsidiaries would have to invest at least 55.0% of its respective portfolio in “mortgage and other liens on and interests in real estate,” which we refer to as “qualifying real estate investments” and maintain an additional 25.0% of assets in qualifying real estate investments or other real estate-related assets. The remaining 20.0% of the portfolio’s assets can consist of miscellaneous assets. What we buy and sell is therefore limited to these criteria. How we classify our assets for purposes of the Investment Company Act will be based in large measure upon no-action letters issued by the SEC staff in the past and other SEC interpretive guidance. These no-action positions were issued in accordance with factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action positions were issued more than ten years ago. Pursuant to this guidance, and depending on the characteristics of the specific investments, certain mortgage loans, participations in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine loans, joint venture investments and the equity securities of other entities may not constitute qualifying real estate assets, and therefore, investments in these types of assets may be limited. The SEC may not concur with our classification of our assets. Future revisions to the Investment Company Act or further guidance from the SEC may cause us to lose our exclusion from registration or force us to re-evaluate our portfolio and our investment strategy. Such changes may prevent us from operating our business successfully.

We may determine to operate through our majority owned operating partnership or other wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries. If so, our subsidiaries will be subject to investment restrictions so that the respective majority owned or wholly owned subsidiary does not come within the definition of an investment company, or cause us to come within the definition of an investment company, under the Investment Company Act.

To ensure that neither we, nor our operating partnership, nor any of our other wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company, each entity may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, our operating partnership or any of our other wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries may be required to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise acquire or forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. Although we intend to monitor our portfolio periodically and prior to each acquisition, any of these entities may not be able to maintain an exclusion from registration as an investment company. If we, our operating partnership or any of our other subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, the unregistered entity would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against such entity. In addition, the contracts of such entity would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of the entity and liquidate its business.

As part of our advisor’s obligations under the Advisory Agreement, our advisor will agree to refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would subject us to regulation under the Investment Company Act. Failure to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act would require us to significantly restructure our business plan. For example, because affiliate transactions generally are prohibited under the Investment Company Act, we would not be able to enter into transactions with any of our affiliates if we are required to register as an investment company, and we may be required to terminate the Advisory Agreement and any other agreements with affiliates, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business and pay distributions.

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders or reduce the value of their investment.

We are subject to risks generally incidental to the ownership of real estate, including changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions. We are unable to predict future changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions. For example, a recession or rise in interest rates could make it more difficult for us to lease real properties or dispose of them. In addition, rising interest rates could also make alternative interest-bearing and other investments more attractive, and therefore, potentially lower the relative value of our existing real estate investments. These conditions, or others we cannot predict, may adversely affect our results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders or reduce the value of their investment.

If we acquire real estate at a time when the real estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for income-producing properties, such real estate investments may not appreciate or may decrease in value.

Although the real estate market has been experiencing severe dislocations, in the future the market may experience a substantial influx of capital from investors. Any substantial flow of capital, combined with significant competition for income-producing real estate, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets. To the extent we purchase real estate in such an environment in the future, we will be subject to the risk that the value of such investments may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such investment.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase and sale agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.

From time to time, we may attempt to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions are more complex and expensive than single property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions may also result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our ability to manage the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties. To acquire multiple properties in a single transaction, we may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the ultimate returns on real property; therefore, accumulating such cash could reduce our funds available for distributions to our stockholders. Any of the foregoing events may have an adverse effect on our operations.

Uninsured losses relating to real estate and lender requirements to obtain insurance may reduce our stockholders’ returns.

There are types of losses relating to real estate, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, for which we do not intend to obtain insurance unless we are required to do so by mortgage lenders. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for uninsured losses, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in less cash to be distributed to our stockholders. In cases where we are required by mortgage lenders to obtain casualty loss insurance for catastrophic events or terrorism, such insurance may not be available, or may not be available at a reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. Additionally, if we obtain such insurance, the costs associated with owning a property would increase and could have a material adverse effect on the net income from the property, and, thus, the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets in which we operate and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations and our stockholders’ investment. We may acquire real estate assets located in areas that are susceptible to attack. These attacks may directly impact the value of our assets through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Although we may obtain terrorism insurance, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage to fund any losses we may incur. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Further, certain losses resulting from these types of events are uninsurable or not insurable at reasonable costs.

More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy, all of which could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases or our ability to borrow money or issue capital stock at acceptable prices, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Dramatic increases in insurance rates could adversely affect our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We may not be able to obtain insurance coverage at reasonable rates due to high premium and/or deductible amounts. As a result, our cash flows could be adversely impacted due to these higher costs, which would adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Delays in the acquisition, development and construction of real properties may have adverse effects on our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Delays we encounter in the selection, acquisition and development of real properties could adversely affect our stockholders’ returns. Where properties are acquired prior to the start of construction or during the early stages of construction, it will typically take several months to complete construction and rent available space. If we engage in development or construction projects, we will be subject to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups, and our builder’s ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs, and timetables. If a builder fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A builder’s performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder’s control. Therefore, our stockholders could suffer delays in the receipt of cash distributions attributable to those particular real properties. Delays in completion of construction could give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases for space at a newly developed project. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders prior to completion of construction. These and other such factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and our return on our investment could suffer.

While we do not currently intend to do so, we may invest in unimproved real property. Returns from development of unimproved properties are also subject to risks associated with re-zoning the land for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups. Although we intend to limit any investment in unimproved real property to real property we intend to develop, our stockholders’ investment, nevertheless, is subject to the risks associated with investments in unimproved real property.

If we contract with a development company for newly developed property, our earnest money deposit made to the development company may not be fully refunded.

We may acquire one or more properties under development. We anticipate that if we do acquire properties that are under development, we will be obligated to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting to acquire such properties, and that we will be required to close the purchase of the property upon completion of the development of the property. We may enter into such a contract with the development company even if at the time we enter into the contract, we have not yet raised sufficient proceeds in our offering to enable us to close the purchase of such property. However, we may not be required to close a purchase from the development company, and may be entitled to a refund of our earnest money, in the following circumstances:

•

the development company fails to develop the property;

•

all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason; or

•

we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds from our offering to pay the purchase price at closing.

The obligation of the development company to refund our earnest money deposit will be unsecured, and we may not be able to obtain a refund of such earnest money deposit from it under these circumstances since the development company may be an entity without substantial assets or operations.

Uncertain market conditions relating to the future disposition of properties could cause us to sell our properties at a loss in the future.

We intend to hold our various real estate investments until such time as our advisor determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives. Our advisor, subject to the oversight and approval of our board of directors, may exercise its discretion as to whether and when to sell a property, and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time. We generally intend to hold properties for an extended period of time, and we cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future. Additionally, we may incur prepayment penalties in the event we sell a property subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned. Accordingly, the extent to which our stockholders will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will, among other things, be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.

Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates, supply and demand, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We may not have adequate funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so may cause us to reduce our selling price for the property. Any delay in our receipt of proceeds, or diminishment of proceeds, from the sale of a property could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows from operations.

If we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash. However, in some instances we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default on its obligations under the financing, which could negatively impact cash flows from operations. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of sale proceeds, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon the sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price, and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

Our stockholders may not receive any profits resulting from the sale of one of our properties, or receive such profits in a timely manner, because we may provide financing to the purchaser of such property.

If we sell one of our properties during liquidation, our stockholders may experience a delay before receiving their share of the proceeds of such liquidation. In a forced or voluntary liquidation, we may sell our properties either subject to or upon the assumption of any then outstanding mortgage debt or, alternatively, may provide financing to purchasers. We may take a purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage as partial payment. We do not have any limitations or restrictions on our taking such purchase money obligations. To the extent we receive promissory notes or other property instead of cash from sales, such proceeds, other than any interest payable on those proceeds, will not be included in net sale proceeds until and to the extent the promissory notes or other property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In many cases, we will receive initial down payments in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. Therefore, our stockholders may experience a delay in the distribution of the proceeds of a sale until such time.

We face possible liability for environmental cleanup costs and damages for contamination related to properties we acquire, which could substantially increase our costs and reduce our liquidity and cash distributions to our stockholders.

Because we own and operate real estate, we will be subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations. Under these laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including the release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real estate for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. In addition, new or more stringent laws or stricter interpretations of existing laws could change the cost of compliance or liabilities and restrictions arising out of such laws. The cost of defending against these claims, complying with environmental regulatory requirements, conducting remediation of any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could be substantial, which would reduce our liquidity and cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances on a property or the failure to meet environmental regulatory requirements may materially impair our ability to use, lease or sell a property, or to use the property as collateral for borrowing.

Our real estate investments may be concentrated in medical office buildings or other healthcare-related facilities, making us more vulnerable economically than if our investments were diversified.

As a REIT, we will invest primarily in real estate. Within the real estate industry, we have and will continue to acquire or selectively develop and own medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We are subject to risks inherent in concentrating investments in real estate. These risks resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of our business strategy to invest to a substantial degree in healthcare-related facilities.

A downturn in the commercial real estate industry generally could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties. A downturn in the healthcare industry could negatively affect our lessees’ ability to make lease payments to us and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. These adverse effects could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments outside of real estate or if our portfolio did not include a substantial concentration in medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities.

A high concentration of our properties in a particular geographic area would magnify the effects of downturns in that geographic area.

Although we intend to acquire real estate throughout the U.S., it is likely that a significant portion of our portfolio will be located in southern and western states. In the event that we have a concentration of properties in any particular geographic area, any adverse situation that disproportionately effects that geographic area would have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio.

Certain of our properties may not have efficient alternative uses, so the loss of a tenant may cause us not to be able to find a replacement or cause us to spend considerable capital to adapt the property to an alternative use.

Some of the properties we have acquired and will seek to acquire are specialized medical facilities. If we or our tenants terminate the leases for these properties or our tenants lose their regulatory authority to operate such properties, we may not be able to locate suitable replacement tenants to lease the properties for their specialized uses. Alternatively, we may be required to spend substantial amounts to adapt the properties to other uses. Any loss of revenues or additional capital expenditures required as a result may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Our medical office buildings, healthcare-related facilities and tenants may be unable to compete successfully.

Our medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities often will face competition from nearby hospitals and other medical office buildings that provide comparable services. Some of those competing facilities are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenues, and others are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. These types of support are not available to our buildings.

Similarly, our tenants will face competition from other medical practices in nearby hospitals and other medical facilities. Our tenants’ failure to compete successfully with these other practices could adversely affect their ability to make rental payments, which could adversely affect our rental revenues. Further, from time to time and for reasons beyond our control, referral sources, including physicians and managed care organizations, may change their lists of hospitals or physicians to which they refer patients. This could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments, which could adversely affect our rental revenues.

Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities and our tenants to compete successfully may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

A proposed change in U.S. accounting standards for leases could reduce the overall demand to lease our properties.

The existing accounting standards for leases require lessees to classify their leases as either capital or operating leases. Under a capital lease, both the leased asset, which represents the tenant’s right to use the property, and the contractual lease obligation are recorded on the tenant’s balance sheet if one of the following criteria are met: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (iii) the non-cancellable lease term is more than 75.0% of the useful life of the asset; or (iv) if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 90.0% or more of the leased property’s fair value. If the terms of the lease do not meet these criteria, the lease is considered an operating lease, and no leased asset or contractual lease obligation is recorded by the tenant.

In order to address concerns raised by the SEC regarding the transparency of contractual lease obligations under the existing accounting standards for operating leases, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board, or the IASB, initiated a joint project to develop new guidelines to lease accounting. The FASB and IASB, or collectively, the Boards, issued an Exposure Draft on August 17, 2010, or the Exposure Draft, which proposes substantial changes to the current lease accounting standards, primarily by eliminating the concept of operating lease accounting. As a result, a lease asset and obligation will be recorded on the tenant’s balance sheet for all lease arrangements. In addition, the Exposure Draft will impact the method in which contractual lease payments will be recorded. In order to mitigate the effect of the proposed lease accounting, tenants may seek to negotiate certain terms within new lease arrangements or modify terms in existing lease arrangements, such as shorter lease terms or fewer extension options, which would generally have less impact on tenant balance sheets. Also, tenants may reassess their lease-versus-buy strategies. This could result in a greater renewal risk, a delay in investing our offering proceeds, or shorter lease terms, all of which may negatively impact our operations and ability to pay distributions.

The Exposure Draft does not include a proposed effective date; however, the Boards plan to issue a final standard regarding lease accounting in 2011.

Our costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may reduce our cash available for distributions.

The properties we acquire may be subject to the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the ADA or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with the ADA. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. If we cannot, our funds used for ADA compliance may reduce cash available for distributions and the amount of distributions to our stockholders.

Increased operating expenses could reduce cash flows from operations and funds available to acquire investments or pay distributions.

Any property that we have acquired or may acquire will be subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. If any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds with respect to that property for operating expenses. The properties will be subject to increases in tax rates, utility costs, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance costs, administrative costs and other operating expenses. While we expect that many of our property leases will require the tenants to pay all or a portion of these expenses, some of our leases or future leases may not be negotiated on that basis, in which event we may have to pay these costs. If we are unable to lease properties on terms that require the tenants to pay all or some of the properties’ operating expenses, if our tenants fail to pay these expenses as required or if expenses we are required to pay exceed our expectations, we could have less funds available for future acquisitions or cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

Our operating properties will be subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our cash flows.

Our operating properties will be subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase as tax rates change and as the operating properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Some of our leases generally provide that the property taxes or increases therein are charged to the tenants as an expense related to the operating properties that they occupy, while other leases will generally provide that we are responsible for such taxes. In any case, as the owner of the properties, we will be ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If real property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes even if otherwise stated under the terms of the lease. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing authority may place a lien on the operating property and the operating property may be subject to a tax sale. In addition, we are generally responsible for real property taxes related to any vacant space.

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations related to environmental protection and human health and safety may be high.

All real property investments and the operations conducted in connection with such investments are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on customers, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on such real property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate those substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge such real property as collateral for future borrowings. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which real property may be used or businesses may be operated. Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Additionally, our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our real properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our real properties. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and which may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our real properties, we may be exposed to such costs in connection with such regulations. The cost of defending against environmental claims, of any damages or fines we must pay, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements or of remediating any contaminated real property could materially and adversely affect our business, lower the value of our assets or results of operations and, consequently, lower the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal, state and local governmental bodies. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. Changes in these laws and regulations could negatively affect the ability of our tenants to make lease payments to us and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Many of our medical properties and their tenants may require a license or certificate of need, or CON, to operate. Failure to obtain a license or CON, or loss of a required license or CON would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the tenant. These events could materially adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us. State and local laws also may regulate expansion, including the addition of new beds or services or acquisition of medical equipment, and the construction of healthcare-related facilities, by requiring a CON or other similar approval. State CON laws are not uniform throughout the U.S. and are subject to change; therefore, this may adversely impact our tenants’ ability to provide services in different states. We cannot predict the impact of state CON laws on our development of facilities or the operations of our tenants.

In addition, state CON laws often materially impact the ability of competitors to enter into the marketplace of our facilities. The repeal of CON laws could allow competitors to freely operate in previously closed markets. This could negatively affect our tenants’ abilities to make rent payments to us.

In limited circumstances, loss of state licensure or certification or closure of a facility could ultimately result in loss of authority to operate the facility and require new CON authorization to re-institute operations. As a result, a portion of the value of the facility may be reduced, which would adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Reductions in reimbursement from third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us.

Sources of revenue for our tenants may include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers and health maintenance organizations, among others. Efforts by such payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue, which may result in reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants. In addition, the healthcare billing rules and regulations are complex, and the failure of any of our tenants to comply with various laws and regulations could jeopardize their ability to continue participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other government sponsored payment programs. Moreover, the state and federal governmental healthcare programs are subject to reductions by state and federal legislative actions. Currently, at the end of 2011, the physician’s reimbursement from Medicare may be reduced due to the sustainable growth rate being cut by over 25.0% unless the federal government provides a change in the legislation prior to the end of 2011. This reduction in Medicare reimbursement may adversely impact our tenants’ ability to make rental payments.

The healthcare industry continues to face various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on healthcare providers to control or reduce costs. It is possible that our tenants will continue to experience a shift in payor mix away from fee-for-service payors, resulting in an increase in the percentage of revenues attributable to managed care payors, and general industry trends that include pressures to control healthcare costs. Pressures to control healthcare costs and a shift away from traditional health insurance reimbursement to managed care plans have resulted in an increase in the number of patients whose healthcare coverage is provided under managed care plans, such as health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. In addition, the healthcare legislation passed in 2010 included new payment models with new shared savings programs and demonstration programs that include bundled payment models and payments contingent upon reporting on satisfaction of quality benchmarks. The new payment models will likely change how physicians are paid for services. These changes could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of some or all of our tenants. The financial impact on our tenants could restrict their ability to make rent payments to us, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Some tenants of our medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities will be subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a tenant may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to make rent payments to us.

There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws.

These laws include:

•

the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the referral of any item or service reimbursed by Medicare or Medicaid;

•

the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition, which, subject to specific exceptions, restricts physicians from making referrals for specifically designated health services for which payment may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship;

•

the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including claims paid by the Medicare and Medicaid programs; and

•

the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts.

Each of these laws includes criminal and/or civil penalties for violations that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Certain laws, such as the False Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for violations thereof. Additionally, states in which the facilities are located may have similar fraud and abuse laws. Investigation by a federal or state governmental body for violation of fraud and abuse laws or imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Adverse trends in healthcare provider operations may negatively affect our lease revenues and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

The healthcare industry is currently experiencing:

•

changes in the demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services;

•

changes in third party reimbursement policies;

•

significant unused capacity in certain areas, which has created substantial competition for patients among healthcare providers in those areas;

•

increased expense for uninsured patients;

•

increased competition among healthcare providers;

•

increased liability insurance expense;

•

continued pressure by private and governmental payors to reduce payments to providers of services;

•

increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by federal and state authorities;

•

changes in federal and state healthcare program payment models; and

•

increased emphasis on compliance with privacy and security requirements related to personal health information.

These factors may adversely affect the economic performance of some or all of our tenants and, in turn, our lease revenues and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Our healthcare-related tenants may be subject to significant legal actions that could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may affect their ability to pay their rent payments to us.

As is typical in the healthcare industry, our healthcare-related tenants may often become subject to claims that their services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants may have experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained by these tenants may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available to these tenants due to state law prohibitions or limitations of availability. As a result, these types of tenants of our medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits. We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or governmental investigation, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on a tenant’s financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, if judgments are obtained in excess of the insurance coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to an uninsurable government enforcement action, the tenant could be exposed to substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenant’s ability to pay rent, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Recently enacted comprehensive healthcare reform legislation, the effects of which are not yet known, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and on March 30, 2010, the President signed into law the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or the Reconciliation Act, which in part modified the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Together, the two acts will serve as the primary vehicle for comprehensive healthcare reform in the U.S. The acts are intended to reduce the number of individuals in the U.S. without health insurance and effect significant other changes to the ways in which healthcare is organized, delivered and reimbursed. Included within the legislation is a limitation on physician-owned hospitals from expanding, unless the facility satisfies very narrow federal exceptions to this limitation. Therefore, if our tenants are physicians that own and refer to a hospital, the hospital would be limited in its operations and expansion potential, which may limit the hospital’s services and resulting revenues and may impact the owner’s ability to make rental payments. The legislation will become effective through a phased approach, beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2018. At this time, the effects of healthcare reform and its impact on our properties are not yet known but could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Risks Related to Debt Financing

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments, and therefore, negatively impact our operating results.

Interest we will pay on our debt obligations will reduce cash available for distributions. Whenever we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. If we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

To the extent we borrow at fixed rates or enter into fixed interest rate swaps, we will not benefit from reduced interest expense if interest rates decrease.

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. To limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs while taking into account variable interest rate risk, we have and may continue to borrow at fixed rates or variable rates depending upon prevailing market conditions. We have and may continue to also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.

Hedging activity may expose us to risks.

When we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we are exposed to credit risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks, including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. If we are unable to manage these risks effectively, our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our ability to incur additional debt and affect our distribution and operating strategies. We have and may continue to enter into loan documents that contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage the property, discontinue insurance coverage, or replace our advisor. These or other limitations may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

We have and may continue to finance or refinance our properties using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will be less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. If the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates. Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments will reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for distribution will be required to pay principal and interest associated with these mortgage loans.

If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to refinance or sell properties on favorable terms, and to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Some of our current and future financing arrangements will require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the particular property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the particular property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to our stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In an environment of increasing mortgage rates, if we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance such debt if mortgage rates are higher at a time a balloon payment is due. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts, including balloon payments, may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT. Any of these results would have a significant, negative impact on our stockholders’ investment.

Risks Related to Real Estate-Related Investments

The mortgage loans in which we may invest and the mortgage loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities in which we may invest may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease their value.

If we acquire investments in mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities, such investments will involve special risks relating to the particular borrower or issuer of the mortgage-backed securities and we will be at risk of loss on those investments, including losses as a result of defaults on mortgage loans. These losses may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including economic conditions affecting real estate values, tenant defaults and lease expirations, interest rate levels and the other economic and liability risks associated with real estate. If we acquire property by foreclosure following defaults under our mortgage loan investments, we will have the economic and liability risks as the owner described above. We do not know whether the values of the property securing any of our real estate-related investments will remain at the levels existing on the dates we initially make the related investment. If the values of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase and the values of our interests may decrease.

Delays in liquidating defaulted mortgage loan investments could reduce our investment returns.

If there are defaults under our mortgage loan investments, we may not be able to foreclose on or obtain a suitable remedy with respect to such investments. Specifically, we may not be able to repossess and sell the underlying properties quickly, which could reduce the value of our investment. For example, an action to foreclose on a property securing a mortgage loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. Additionally, in the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the mortgage loan.

The commercial mortgage-backed securities in which we may invest are subject to several types of risks.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities are bonds which evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, the mortgage-backed securities in which we may invest are subject to all the risks of the underlying mortgage loans.

In a rising interest rate environment, the value of commercial mortgage-backed securities may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The value of commercial mortgage-backed securities may also change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities markets as a whole. In addition, commercial mortgage-backed securities are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities are paid interest-only to the extent that there are funds available to make payments. To the extent the collateral pool includes a large percentage of delinquent loans, there is a risk that interest payments on subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities will not be fully paid. Subordinate securities of commercial mortgage-backed securities are also subject to greater credit risk than those commercial mortgage-backed securities that are more highly rated.

The mezzanine loans in which we may invest would involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing real estate.

We may invest in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real estate or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the real estate or the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the real estate. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income-producing real estate because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the real estate and increasing the risk of loss of principal.

Real estate-related equity securities in which we may invest are subject to specific risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities and may be subject to the general risks of investing in real estate or real estate-related assets.

We may invest in the common and preferred stock of both publicly traded and private unaffiliated real estate companies, which involves a higher degree of risk than debt securities due to a variety of factors, including the fact that such investments are subordinate to creditors and are not secured by the issuer’s property. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Issuers of real estate-related equity securities generally invest in real estate or real estate-related assets and are subject to the inherent risks associated with acquiring real estate-related investments discussed in these risk factors, including risks relating to rising interest rates.

We expect a portion of our real estate-related investments to be illiquid and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

We may acquire real estate-related investments in connection with privately negotiated transactions which are not registered under the relevant securities laws, resulting in a prohibition against their transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition except in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of, or is otherwise in accordance with, those laws. As a result, our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited. The mezzanine and bridge loans we may purchase will be particularly illiquid investments due to their short life, their unsuitability for securitization and the greater difficulty of recoupment in the event of a borrower’s default.

Interest rate and related risks may cause the value of our real estate-related investments to be reduced.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities such as preferred and debt securities, and to a lesser extent dividend paying common stocks, will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. Generally, when market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities will decline, and vice versa. Our investment in such securities means that the net asset value and market price of the common stock may tend to decline if market interest rates rise.

During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and reduce the value of the security. This is known as extension risk. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, which is generally known as call or prepayment risk. If this occurs, we may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as reinvestment risk. Preferred and debt securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem an obligation if the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. These risks may reduce the value of our real estate-related investments.

If we liquidate prior to the maturity of our real estate-related investments, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss.

Our board of directors may choose to effect a liquidity event in which we liquidate our assets, including our real estate-related investments. If we liquidate those investments prior to their maturity, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss. For instance, if we are required to liquidate mortgage loans at a time when prevailing interest rates are higher than the interest rates of such mortgage loans, we would likely sell such loans at a discount to their stated principal values.

Risks Related to Joint Ventures

The terms of joint venture agreements or other joint ownership arrangements into which we have and may enter could impair our operating flexibility and our results of operations.

In connection with the purchase of real estate, we may enter into joint ventures with third parties, including affiliates of our advisor. We may also purchase or develop properties in co-ownership arrangements with the sellers of the properties, developers or other persons. These structures involve participation in the investment by other parties whose interests and rights may not be the same as ours. Our joint venture partners may have rights to take some actions over which we have no control and may take actions contrary to our interests. Joint ownership of an investment in real estate may involve risks not associated with direct ownership of real estate, including the following:

•

a venture partner may at any time have economic or other business interests or goals which become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale of properties held in a joint venture or the timing of the termination and liquidation of the venture;

•

a venture partner might become bankrupt and such proceedings could have an adverse impact on the operation of the partnership or joint venture;

•

actions taken by a venture partner might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated; and

•

a venture partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT.

Under certain joint venture arrangements, neither venture partner may have the power to control the venture, and an impasse could occur, which might adversely affect the joint venture and decrease potential returns to our stockholders. If we have a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy out a venture partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out or we may be forced to exercise those rights at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If our interest is subject to a buy/sell right, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow us to purchase an interest of a venture partner subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell our interest when we would otherwise prefer to retain our interest. In addition, we may not be able to sell our interest in a joint venture on a timely basis or on acceptable terms if we desire to exit the venture for any reason, particularly if our interest is subject to a right of first refusal of our venture partner.

We may structure our joint venture relationships in a manner which may limit the amount we participate in the cash flows or appreciation of an investment.

We may enter into joint venture agreements, the economic terms of which may provide for the distribution of income to us otherwise than in direct proportion to our ownership interest in the joint venture. For example, while we and a co-venturer may invest an equal amount of capital in an investment, the investment may be structured such that we have a right to priority distributions of cash flows up to a certain target return while the co-venturer may receive a disproportionately greater share of cash flows than we are to receive once such target return has been achieved. This type of investment structure may result in the co-venturer receiving more of the cash flows, including appreciation, of an investment than we would receive. If we do not accurately judge the appreciation prospects of a particular investment or structure the venture appropriately, we may incur losses on joint venture investments or have limited participation in the profits of a joint venture investment, either of which could reduce our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes would subject us to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, which would substantially reduce our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We have not yet elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Code, and we intend to be taxed as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet various requirements set forth in the Code concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amount of our distributions to our stockholders. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex, and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in operating so as to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT. At any time, new laws, interpretations or court decisions may change the federal tax laws relating to, or the federal income tax consequences of, qualification as a REIT. It is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our board of directors to determine that it is not in our best interest to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT or revoke our REIT election, which it may do without stockholder approval.

If we fail to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions would no longer qualify for the distributions paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to pay distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would substantially reduce our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of federal income and excise taxes, we may be forced to borrow funds, use proceeds from the issuance of securities (including our offering), or sell assets to pay distributions, which may result in our distributing amounts that may otherwise be used for our operations.

To obtain the favorable tax treatment accorded to REITs, we normally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for distributions paid and by excluding net capital gains. We will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85.0% of our ordinary income, (2) 95.0% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. These requirements could cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on acquisitions of properties and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, use proceeds from the issuance of securities (including our offering) or sell assets in order to distribute enough of our taxable income to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of federal income and excise taxes.

Our investment strategy may cause us to incur penalty taxes, lose our REIT status, or own and sell properties through taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which would diminish the return to our stockholders.

In light of our investment strategy, it is possible that one or more sales of our properties may be “prohibited transactions” under provisions of the Code. If we are deemed to have engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (i.e., we sell a property held by us primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our trade or business), all income that we derive from such sale would be subject to a 100% tax. The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition of the 100% tax. A principal requirement of the safe harbor is that the REIT must hold the applicable property for not less than two years prior to its sale. Given our investment strategy, it is entirely possible, if not likely, that the sale of one or more of our properties will not fall within the prohibited transaction safe harbor.

If we desire to sell a property pursuant to a transaction that does not fall within the safe harbor, we may be able to avoid the 100% penalty tax if we acquired the property through a TRS or acquired the property and transferred it to a TRS for a non-tax business purpose prior to the sale (i.e., for a reason other than the avoidance of taxes). However, there may be circumstances that prevent us from using a TRS in a transaction that does not qualify for the safe harbor. Additionally, even if it is possible to effect a property disposition through a TRS, we may decide to forego the use of a TRS in a transaction that does not meet the safe harbor based on our own internal analysis, the opinion of counsel or the opinion of other tax advisors that the disposition will not be subject to the 100% penalty tax. In cases where a property disposition is not effected through a TRS, the IRS could successfully assert that the disposition constitutes a prohibited transaction, in which event all of the net income from the sale of such property will be payable as a tax and none of the proceeds from such sale will be distributable by us to our stockholders or available for investment by us.

If we acquire a property that we anticipate will not fall within the safe harbor from the 100% penalty tax upon disposition, then we may acquire such property through a TRS in order to avoid the possibility that the sale of such property will be a prohibited transaction and subject to the 100% penalty tax. If we already own such a property directly or indirectly through an entity other than a TRS, we may contribute the property to a TRS if there is another, non-tax-related business purpose for the contribution of such property to the TRS. Following the transfer of the property to a TRS, the TRS will operate the property and may sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to us, and we may distribute the net proceeds distributed to us by the TRS to our stockholders. Though a sale of the property by a TRS likely would eliminate the danger of the application of the 100% penalty tax, the TRS itself would be subject to a tax at the federal level, and potentially at the state and local levels, on the gain realized by it from the sale of the property as well as on the income earned while the property is operated by the TRS. This tax obligation would diminish the amount of the proceeds from the sale of such property that would be distributable to our stockholders. As a result, the amount available for distribution to our stockholders would be substantially less than if the REIT had not operated and sold such property through the TRS and such transaction was not successfully characterized as a prohibited transaction. The maximum federal income tax rate currently is 35.0%. Federal, state and local corporate income tax rates may be increased in the future, and any such increase would reduce the amount of the net proceeds available for distribution by us to our stockholders from the sale of property through a TRS after the effective date of any increase in such tax rates.

If we own too many properties through one or more of our TRSs, then we may lose our status as a REIT. If we fail to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the distributions paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to pay distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax. As a REIT, the value of the securities we hold in all of our TRSs may not exceed 25.0% of the value of all of our assets at the end of any calendar quarter. If the IRS were to determine that the value of our interests in all of our TRSs exceeded 25.0% of the value of total assets at the end of any calendar quarter, then we would fail to qualify as a REIT. If we determine it to be in our best interest to own a substantial number of our properties through one or more TRSs, then it is possible that the IRS may conclude that the value of our interests in our TRSs exceeds 25.0% of the value of our total assets at the end of any calendar quarter, and therefore, cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, as a REIT, no more than 25.0% of our gross income with respect to any year may be from sources other than real estate. Distributions paid to us from a TRS are considered to be non-real estate income. Therefore, we may fail to qualify as a REIT if distributions from all of our TRSs, when aggregated with all other non-real estate income with respect to any one year, are more than 25.0% of our gross income with respect to such year. We will use all reasonable efforts to structure our activities in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements for our qualification as a REIT. Our failure to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT would adversely affect our stockholders’ return on their investment.

Our stockholders may have a current tax liability on distributions they elect to reinvest in shares of our common stock.

If our stockholders participate in the DRIP, they will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. As a result, unless our stockholders are a tax-exempt entity, they may have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liability on the value of the shares of common stock received.

Legislative or regulatory action with respect to taxes could adversely affect the returns to our investors.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal and state income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. On March 30, 2010, the President signed into law the Reconciliation Act. The Reconciliation Act will require certain U.S. stockholders who are individuals, estates or trusts to pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on, among other things, dividends on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, subject to certain exceptions. This additional tax will apply broadly to essentially all dividends and all gains from dispositions of stock, including dividends from REITs and gains from dispositions of REIT shares, such as our common stock. As enacted, the tax will apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.

Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our stock or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in our stock and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our common stock.

Congress passed major federal tax legislation in 2003, with modifications to that legislation in 2005 and an extension of that legislation by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. One of the changes effected by that legislation generally reduced the maximum tax rate on qualified dividends paid by corporations to individuals to 15.0% through 2012. REIT distributions, however, generally do not constitute qualified dividends and consequently are not eligible for this reduced maximum tax rate. Therefore, our stockholders will pay federal income tax on our distributions (other than capital gains dividends or distributions which represent a return of capital for tax purposes) at the applicable “ordinary income” rate, the maximum of which is currently 35.0%. However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to you, and we thus expect to avoid the “double taxation” to which other corporations are typically subject.

Although REITs continue to receive substantially better tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in our stockholders’ best interest.

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal and state income taxes as a REIT, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to federal income taxes or state taxes. For example, net income from a “prohibited transaction” will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. We may also decide to retain capital gains we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, our stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability. We may also be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of the companies through which we indirectly own our assets. Any federal or state taxes we pay will reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Distributions to tax-exempt stockholders may be classified as UBTI.

Neither ordinary nor capital gain distributions with respect to the shares of our common stock nor gain from the sale of the shares of our common stock should generally constitute unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI, to a tax-exempt stockholder. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. In particular:

•

part of the income and gain recognized by certain qualified employee pension trusts with respect to our common stock may be treated as UBTI if the shares of our common stock are predominately held by qualified employee pension trusts, and we are required to rely on a special look-through rule for purposes of meeting one of the REIT share ownership tests, and we are not operated in a manner to avoid treatment of such income or gain as UBTI;

•

part of the income and gain recognized by a tax exempt stockholder with respect to the shares of our common stock would constitute UBTI if the stockholder incurs debt in order to acquire the shares of our common stock; and

•

part or all of the income or gain recognized with respect to the shares of our common stock by social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans which are exempt from federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(7), (9), (17) or (20) of the Internal Revenue Code may be treated as UBTI.

Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of shares of our common stock. We may be required to pay distributions to our stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution, or we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments in order to comply with the REIT tests. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

Foreign purchasers of shares of our common stock may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the sale of their shares of our common stock.

A foreign person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of stock of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, is generally subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, or FIRPTA, on the gain recognized on the disposition. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is “domestically controlled.” A REIT is “domestically controlled” if less than 50.0% of the REIT’s stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of shares of our common stock would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless the shares of our common stock were traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 5.0% of the value of our outstanding common stock.

Foreign stockholders may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the payment of a capital gains dividend.

A foreign stockholder also may be subject to FIRPTA upon the payment of any capital gain dividends by us, which dividend is attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests. Additionally, capital gains dividends paid to foreign stockholders, if attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests, would not be exempt from FIRPTA and would be subject to FIRPTA tax.

Employee Benefit Plan, IRA, and Other Tax-Exempt Investor Risks

We, and our stockholders that are employee benefit plans, individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, annuities described in Sections 403(a) or (b) of the Internal Revenue Code, Archer MSAs, health savings accounts, or Coverdell education savings accounts (referred to generally as Benefit Plans and IRAs) will be subject to risks relating specifically to our having such Benefit Plan and IRA stockholders, which risks are discussed below.

If our stockholders fail to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the Code as a result of an investment in shares of our common stock, our stockholders could be subject to criminal and civil penalties.

There are special considerations that apply to Benefit Plans or IRAs investing in shares of our common stock. If our stockholders are investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or IRA in us, they should consider:

•

whether their investment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, and the Code, or any other applicable governing authority in the case of a government plan;

•

whether their investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing their Benefit Plan or IRA, including their Benefit Plan or IRA’s investment policy;

•

whether their investment satisfies the prudence, diversification and other requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA;

•

whether their investment will impair the liquidity needs and distribution requirements of the Benefit Plan or IRA;

•

whether their investment will constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

•

whether their investment will produce or result in UBTI, as defined in Sections 511 through 514 of the Code, to the Benefit Plan or IRA; and

•

their need to value the assets of the Benefit Plan or IRA annually in accordance with ERISA and the Code.

In addition to considering their fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA and the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code, a Benefit Plan or IRA purchasing shares of our common stock should consider the effect of the plan asset regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor. To avoid our assets from being considered plan assets under those regulations, our charter prohibits “benefit plan investors” from owning 25.0% or more of the shares of our common stock prior to the time that the common stock qualifies as a class of publicly-offered securities, within the meaning of the ERISA plan asset regulations. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that those provisions in our charter will be effective in limiting benefit plan investor ownership to less than the 25.0% limit. For example, the limit could be unintentionally exceeded if a benefit plan investor misrepresents its status as a benefit plan. Even if our assets are not considered to be plan assets, a prohibited transaction could occur if we or any of our affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA and/or the Code) with respect to a Benefit Plan or IRA purchasing shares of our common stock, and, therefore, in the event any such persons are fiduciaries (within the meaning of ERISA and/or the Code) of our stockholders’ Benefit Plan or IRA, they should not purchase shares of our common stock unless an administrative or statutory exemption applies to their purchase.

Market Information

There is no established public trading market for shares of our common stock.

In order for members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and their associated persons to participate in the offering and sale of shares of our common stock, we are required to disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of the shares, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. In addition, we will prepare annual statements of estimated share values to assist fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA in the preparation of their reports relating to an investment in shares of our common stock. For these purposes, our advisor’s estimated value of the shares is $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2010. The basis for this valuation is the fact that the current public offering price for shares of our common stock is $10.00 per share (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers). However, there is no public trading market for the shares of our common stock at this time, and there can be no assurance that stockholders could receive $10.00 per share if such a market did exist and they sold their shares of our common stock or that they will be able to receive such amount for their shares of our common stock in the future. Until 18 months after the later of the completion of our offering or any subsequent offering of shares of our common stock, we intend to continue to use the offering price of shares of our common stock in our most recent offering as the estimated per share value reported in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K distributed to stockholders. Beginning 18 months after the last offering of shares of our common stock, the value of the properties and our other assets will be determined in a manner deemed appropriate by our board of directors, and we will disclose the resulting estimated per share value in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K distributed to stockholders.

Stockholders

As of February 28, 2011, we had approximately 5,417 stockholders of record.

Distributions

Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2010, as a result of our sponsor, Grubb & Ellis, advising us that it intended to fund these distributions until we acquired our first property. We acquired our first property, Lacombe Medical Office Building, on March 5, 2010. Our sponsor did not receive any additional shares of our common stock or other consideration for funding these distributions, and we will not repay the funds provided by our sponsor for these distributions. Our sponsor is not obligated to contribute monies to fund any subsequent distributions. Subsequently, our board of directors authorized, on a quarterly basis, a daily distribution to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the quarterly periods commencing on July 1, 2010 and ending on March 31, 2011. The distributions are calculated based on 365 days in the calendar year and are equal to $0.0017808 per share of common stock, which is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5%, assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The distributions are aggregated and paid in cash or shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP, monthly in arrears. The distributions declared for each record date are paid only from legally available funds.

The amount of the distributions to our stockholders is determined quarterly by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code. We have not established any limit on the amount of offering proceeds that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (3) jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid distributions of $4,072,000 ($2,087,000 in cash and $1,985,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP), none of which were paid from cash flows from operations of $(2,881,000). $259,000, or 6.4% of the distributions, were paid using funds from our sponsor. The distributions in excess of funds from our sponsor were paid from offering proceeds. Under GAAP, acquisition related expenses are expensed, and therefore, subtracted from cash flows from operations. However, these expenses are paid from offering proceeds.

Our distributions of amounts in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits have resulted in a return of capital to our stockholders. We have not established any limit on the amount of offering proceeds that may be used to fund distributions other than those limits imposed by our organizational documents and Maryland law. Therefore, all or any portion of a distribution to our stockholders may be paid from offering proceeds. The payment of distributions from our offering proceeds could reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in assets and negatively impact the amount of income available for future distributions.

For the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, we did not pay any distributions.

As of December 31, 2010, we had an amount payable of $194,000 to our advisor or its affiliates for asset and property management fees, operating expenses, on-site personnel and engineering payroll and lease commissions, which will be paid from cash flows from operations in the future as they become due and payable by us in the ordinary course of business consistent with our past practice.

As of December 31, 2010, no amounts due to our advisor or its affiliates have been deferred, waived or forgiven. Our advisor and its affiliates have no obligations to defer, waive or forgive amounts due to them. In the future, if our advisor or its affiliates do not defer, waive or forgive amounts due to them, this would negatively affect our cash flows from operations, which could result in us paying distributions, or a portion thereof, with net proceeds from our offering, funds from our sponsor or borrowed funds. As a result, the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or we may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our FFO was $(3,837,000). For the year ended December 31, 2010, we paid distributions of $259,000, or 6.4%, using funds from our sponsor and $3,813,000, or 93.6%, from proceeds from our offering. The payment of distributions from sources other than FFO may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.

See our disclosure regarding FFO, which includes a reconciliation of our GAAP net loss to FFO, in Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We adopted our incentive plan, pursuant to which our board of directors or a committee of our independent directors may make grants of options, restricted shares of common stock, stock purchase rights, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, or other awards to our independent directors, employees and consultants. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to our incentive plan is 2,000,000. For a further discussion of our incentive plan, see Note 12, Equity — 2009 Incentive Plan, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Public Offering Proceeds

Our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-158111, effective August 24, 2009), registering a public offering of up to 330,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act. Grubb & Ellis Securities, Inc. is the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering to the public a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in our primary offering and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP, for $9.50 per share, for a maximum offering of up to $3,285,000,000.

As of December 31, 2010, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 15,222,213 shares of our common stock, or $151,862,000, excluding subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania (who were not admitted as stockholders until January 21, 2011, when we had received and accepted subscriptions aggregating at least $164,250,000) and shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP. As of December 31, 2010, a total of $1,985,000 in distributions were reinvested and 208,955 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to the DRIP.

As of December 31, 2010, we had incurred selling commissions of $10,304,000 and dealer manager fees of $4,548,000 to affiliated parties in connection with our offering. We had also incurred other offering expenses of $1,522,000 to affiliated parties as of such date. Such fees and reimbursements are charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed from the gross proceeds of our offering. The cost of raising funds in our offering as a percentage of funds raised will not exceed 11.0%. As of December 31, 2010, net offering proceeds were $137,473,000, including proceeds from the DRIP and after deducting offering expenses.

As of December 31, 2010, $625,000 remained payable to our dealer manager, our advisor or its affiliates for offering related costs.

As of December 31, 2010, we had used $119,908,000 in proceeds from our offering to purchase properties from unaffiliated parties, $5,358,000 to pay acquisition related expenses to affiliated parties, $2,816,000 for lender required restricted cash accounts to unaffiliated parties, $1,587,000 for deferred financing costs to unaffiliated parties, $1,543,000 to pay acquisition related expenses to unaffiliated parties, $649,000 to pay real estate and escrow deposits for proposed future acquisitions to unaffiliated parties and $245,000 to repay borrowings from unaffiliated parties incurred in connection with previous property acquisitions.

Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Our share repurchase plan allows for repurchases of shares of our common stock by us when certain criteria are met. Share repurchases will be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors. All repurchases are subject to a one-year holding period, except for repurchases made in connection with a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability,” as defined in our share repurchase plan. Subject to the availability of the funds for share repurchases, we will limit the number of shares of our common stock repurchased during any calendar year to 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year; provided, however, that shares subject to a repurchase requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to this cap. Funds for the repurchase of shares of our common stock will come exclusively from the cumulative proceeds we receive from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP.

Under our share repurchase plan, repurchase prices range from $9.25, or 92.5% of the price paid per share, following a one year holding period to an amount not less than 100% of the price paid per share following a four year holding period. However, if shares of our common stock are to be repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, the repurchase price will be no less than 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares of our common stock from us. In order to effect the repurchase of shares of our common stock held for less than one year due to the death of a stockholder or a stockholder with a qualifying disability, we must receive written notice within one year after the death of the stockholder or the stockholder’s qualifying disability, as applicable. Furthermore, our share repurchase plan provides that if there are insufficient funds to honor all repurchase requests, pending requests will be honored among all requests for repurchase in any given repurchase period, as follows: first, pro rata as to repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death; next, pro rata as to repurchases sought by stockholders with a qualifying disability; and, finally, pro rata as to other repurchase requests.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we repurchased shares of our common stock as follows:

The following should be read with Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. We had limited results of operations for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, and therefore, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009 are not comparable.

Overview and Background

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on January 7, 2009 and therefore we consider that our date of inception. We were initially capitalized on February 4, 2009. We invest and intend to continue to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We may also originate and acquire secured loans and other real estate-related investments. We generally seek investments that produce current income. We intend to qualify and elect to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010.

We are conducting a best efforts initial public offering, or our offering, in which we are offering to the public up to 300,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in our primary offering and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, for $9.50 per share, for a maximum offering of up to $3,285,000,000. The SEC declared our registration statement effective as of August 24, 2009. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of our common stock we are offering between the primary offering and the DRIP. As of December 31, 2010, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 15,222,213, shares of our common stock, or $151,862,000, excluding subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania (who were not admitted as stockholders until January 21, 2011, when we had received and accepted subscriptions aggregating at least $164,250,000) and shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Holdings, LP, or our operating partnership. We are externally advised by Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, between us and our advisor that has a one-year term that expires on June 1, 2011 and is subject to successive one-year renewals upon the mutual consent of the parties. Our advisor supervises and manages our day-to-day operations and selects the properties and real estate-related investments we acquire, subject to the oversight and approval of our board of directors. Our advisor also provides marketing, sales and client services on our behalf. Our advisor engages affiliated entities to provide various services to us. Our advisor is managed by and is a wholly owned subsidiary of, Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of our sponsor. For a further discussion of transactions with affiliates, see Note 11, Related Party Transactions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report of Form 10-K.

As of December 31, 2010, we had completed 14 acquisitions comprising 25 buildings and approximately 873,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, for an aggregate purchase price of $193,442,000.

Investment Strategy

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We also may originate or acquire real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans, common and preferred stock of, or other interests in, public or private unaffiliated real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and certain other securities, including collateralized debt obligations and foreign securities. We generally seek investments that produce current income. In order to maintain our exemption from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be required to limit our investments in certain types of real estate-related investments.

We seek to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable growth in cash flows and portfolio value. In order to achieve these objectives, we may invest using a number of investment structures which may include direct acquisitions, joint ventures, leveraged investments, issuing securities for property and direct and indirect investments in real estate.

In addition, when and as determined appropriate by our advisor, our portfolio may also include properties in various stages of development other than those producing current income. These stages would include, without limitation, unimproved land both with and without entitlements and permits, property to be redeveloped and repositioned, newly constructed properties and properties in lease-up or other stabilization, all of which will have limited or no relevant operating histories and no current income. Our advisor makes this determination based upon a variety of factors, including the available risk adjusted returns for such properties when compared with other available properties, the appropriate diversification of the portfolio, and our objectives of realizing both current income and capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of properties.

For each of our investments, regardless of property type, we seek to invest in properties with the following attributes:

	•		Quality. We seek to acquire properties that are suitable for their intended use with a quality of construction that is capable of sustaining the property’s investment potential for the long-term, assuming funding of budgeted maintenance, repairs and capital improvements.
	•		Location. We seek to acquire properties that are located in established or otherwise appropriate markets for comparable properties, with access and visibility suitable to meet the needs of its occupants.
	•		Market; Supply and Demand. We focus on local or regional markets that have potential for stable and growing property level cash flows over the long-term. These determinations are based in part on an evaluation of local economic, demographic and regulatory factors affecting the property. For instance, we favor markets that indicate a growing population and employment base or markets that exhibit potential limitations on additions to supply, such as barriers to new construction. Barriers to new construction include lack of available land and stringent zoning restrictions. In addition, we generally seek to limit our investments in areas that have limited potential for growth.

	•		Predictable Capital Needs. We seek to acquire properties where the future expected capital needs can be reasonably projected in a manner that would enable us to meet our objectives of growth in cash flows and preservation of capital and stability.
	•		Cash Flows. We seek to acquire properties where the current and projected cash flows, including the potential for appreciation in value, would enable us to meet our overall investment objectives. We evaluate cash flows as well as expected growth and the potential for appreciation.

We will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in unimproved or non-income producing properties or in other investments relating to unimproved or non-income producing property. A property will be considered unimproved or non-income producing property for purposes of this limitation if it: (1) is not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, or (2) has no development or construction in process at the date of acquisition or planned in good faith to commence within one year of the date of acquisition.

We will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities. In addition, we will not invest more than 10.0% of the offering proceeds available for investment in equity securities of public or private real estate companies.

We are not limited as to the geographic area where we may acquire properties. We are not specifically limited in the number or size of properties we may acquire or on the percentage of our assets that we may invest in a single property or investment. The number and mix of properties and real estate-related investments we will acquire will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we are acquiring our properties and making our investments, and the amount of proceeds we raise in our offering and potential future offerings.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgments and estimates such as those related to revenue recognition, tenant receivables, allowance for uncollectible accounts, capitalization of expenditures, depreciation of assets, impairment of real estate, properties held for sale, purchase price allocation, and qualification as a REIT. These estimates are-made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition, Tenant Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, or ASC Topic 605. ASC Topic 605 requires that all four of the following basic criteria be met before revenue is realized or realizable and earned: (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, minimum annual rental revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable or deferred rent liability, as applicable. Tenant reimbursement revenue, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with ASC Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition — Principal Agent Consideration, or ASC Subtopic 605-45. ASC Subtopic 605-45 requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis, as we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have credit risk. We recognize lease termination fees at such time when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.

Tenant receivables and unbilled deferred rent receivables are carried net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. We maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivables arising from the straight line recognition of rents. Such allowance is charged to bad debt expense which is included in general and administrative in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions and other relevant factors.

Capitalization of Expenditures and Depreciation of Assets

The cost of operating properties includes the cost of land and completed buildings and related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service life of properties are capitalized and the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of building and improvements is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. The cost of improvements is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. Furniture, fixtures and equipment, if any, is depreciated over the estimated useful lives. When depreciable property is retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

As part of the leasing process, we may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements, and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event we are not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease inducement and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among other things, who holds legal title to the improvements as well as other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement and provisions for substantiation of such costs (e.g. unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. Recognition of lease revenue commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements when we are the owner of the leasehold improvements. However, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date (and the date on which recognition of lease revenue commences) is the date the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements.

Impairment

We carry our operating properties at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. We assess the impairment of an operating property when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Indicators we consider important and that we believe could trigger an impairment review include, among others, the following:

	•		significant negative industry or economic trends;
	•		a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; and
	•		a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or significant physical change in the asset.

In the event that the carrying amount of an operating property exceeds the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on subjective assumptions dependent upon future and current market conditions and events that affect the ultimate value of the property. It requires us to make assumptions related to discount rates, future rental rates, tenant allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital improvements, occupancy levels and the estimated proceeds generated from the future sale of the property.

Properties Held for Sale

We will account for our properties held for sale in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, or ASC Topic 360, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and requires that, in a period in which a component of an entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the income statements for current and prior periods shall report the results of operations of the component as discontinued operations.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, at such time as a property is held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We will classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

	•		management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;
	•		the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
	•		an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated;
	•		the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;
	•		the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
	•		given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.

Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, we, with assistance from independent valuation specialists, measure the fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values for acquired properties. The determination of the fair value of land is based upon comparable sales data and the fair value of buildings is based upon our determination of the value as if it were to be replaced and vacant using cost data and discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. We would also recognize the fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment on the premises, if any, as well as the above or below market value of in-place leases, the value of in-place lease costs, tenant relationships and above or below market debt and derivative financial instruments assumed. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.

The value of the above or below market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (2) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease (including considering the impact of renewal options). The amounts related to above market leases are included in identified intangible assets, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts related to below market leases are included in identified intangible liabilities, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below market renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired includes in-place lease costs and the value of tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenants. Characteristics considered by us in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The amounts related to in-place lease costs are included in identified intangible assets, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the average remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts related to the value of tenant relationships are included in identified intangible assets, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the average remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases plus the market renewal lease term.

The value of above or below market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage at the time of assumption. The value of above or below market debt is included in mortgage loans payable, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the assumed mortgage.

The value of derivative financial instruments is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC Topic 820, and is included in derivative financial instruments in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The fair values are subject to change based on information received within one year of the purchase related to one or more events identified at the time of purchase which confirm the value of an asset or liability received in an acquisition of property.

Qualification as a REIT

We have not yet elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Code, and we intend to be taxed as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to currently distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders.

If we fail to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. Because of our intention to elect REIT status for 2010, we will not benefit from the loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions in 2011 and 2010

For a discussion of acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, see Note 3, Real Estate Investments, and Note 20, Subsequent Events — Property Acquisition, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and those risks listed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of properties.

Rental Income

The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from lease terminations at the then existing rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.

Offering Proceeds

If we fail to raise substantially more proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our offering than the amount we have raised to date, we will have limited diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our investments are located and the types of investments that we make. As a result, our real estate portfolio would be concentrated in a small number of properties, which would increase exposure to local and regional economic downturns and the poor performance of one or more of our properties, whereby our stockholders would be exposed to increased risk. In addition, many of our expenses are fixed regardless of the size of our real estate portfolio. Therefore, depending on the amount of proceeds we raise from our offering, we would expend a larger portion of our income on operating expenses. This would reduce our profitability and, in turn, the amount of net income available for distribution to our stockholders.

Scheduled Lease Expirations

As of December 31, 2010, our consolidated properties were 98.3% occupied. During 2011, 4.3% of the occupied GLA is scheduled to expire. Our leasing strategy focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire. In the future, if we are unable to negotiate renewals, we will try to identify new tenants or collaborate with existing tenants who are seeking additional space to occupy.

As of December 31, 2010, our remaining weighted average lease term is 9.9 years.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and related laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and disclosure requirements applicable to public companies, have increased the costs of compliance with corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. These costs may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could impact our ability to pay distributions at current rates to our stockholders. Furthermore, we expect that these costs will increase in the future due to our continuing implementation of compliance programs mandated by these requirements. Any increased costs may affect our ability to distribute funds to our stockholders. As part of our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we have provided management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 and will continue to comply with such regulations.

In addition, these laws, rules and regulations create new legal bases for potential administrative enforcement, civil and criminal proceedings against us in the event of non-compliance, thereby increasing the risks of liability and potential sanctions against us. We expect that our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations will continue to involve significant and potentially increasing costs, and that our failure to comply with these laws could result in fees, fines, penalties or administrative remedies against us.

Results of Operations

We had limited results of operations for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, and therefore, our results of operations for year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009 are not comparable. We expect all amounts to increase in the future based on a full year of operations as well as increased activity as we acquire additional real estate investments. Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods.

Our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2010 are primarily comprised of income derived from our portfolio of properties and acquisition related expenses in connection with such acquisitions.

Except where otherwise noted, the change in our results of operations is primarily due to our property acquisitions as of December 31, 2010, as compared to not owning any properties as of December 31, 2009.

Rental Income

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, rental income was $8,682,000 and $0, respectively, and was primarily comprised of base rent of $6,786,000 and $0, respectively, and expense recoveries of $1,314,000 and $0, respectively.

The aggregate occupancy for our properties was 98.3% as of December 31, 2010. We did not own any properties as of December 31, 2009.

Rental Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, rental expenses were $2,201,000 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, rental expenses primarily consisted of property and real estate taxes of $804,000, repairs and maintenance of $539,000, utilities of $427,000 and property management fees of $245,000.

Rental expenses as a percentage of revenue were 25.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

General and Administrative

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, general and administrative was $1,670,000 and $268,000, respectively. General and administrative consisted of the following for the periods then ended:

						Period from
						January 7, 2009
						(Date of Inception)
		Year Ended				through
		December 31, 2010				December 31, 2009
Asset management fees		$	612,000			$	—
Professional and legal fees			442,000				50,000
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance			177,000				64,000
Board of directors fees			163,000				55,000
Transfer agent services			111,000				59,000
Restricted stock compensation			54,000				35,000
Other			111,000				5,000
		$	1,670,000			$	268,000

The increase in general and administrative is primarily the result of asset management fees incurred due to purchasing properties in 2010, legal and professional fees incurred in connection with our SEC reporting requirements, where such requirements did not exist until our offering was declared effective on August 24, 2009, and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and board of directors fees for a full year in 2010 compared to four months in 2009.

Acquisition Related Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, we incurred acquisition related expenses of $7,099,000 and $18,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, acquisition related expenses related primarily to expenses associated with our 14 acquisitions, including acquisition fees of $5,329,000 incurred to our advisor or its affiliates.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization was $3,591,000 and $0, respectively, and consisted of depreciation on our operating properties of $2,070,000 and $0, respectively, and amortization on in-place leases, tenant relationships and master lease of $1,521,000 and $0, respectively.

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, interest expense, including loss in fair value of derivative financial instruments, was $1,559,000 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, interest expense was comprised of $942,000 related to interest expense on our mortgage loans payable and derivative financial instruments, $222,000 related to interest expense on our secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $25,000,000, or the line of credit, $143,000 related to loss in fair value of our derivative financial instruments, $105,000 related to amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the line of credit, $120,000 related to amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our mortgage loans payable and $27,000 related to amortization of debt discount.

Interest Income

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, we had interest income of $15,000 and $4,000, respectively, related to interest earned on funds held in cash accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our offering to provide the capital required to purchase real estate and real estate-related investments, net of any indebtedness that we may incur. Our ability to raise funds through our offering is dependent on general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs and our operating performance. The capital required to purchase real estate and real estate-related investments is obtained primarily from our offering and from any indebtedness that we may incur.

We expect to experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions for shares of our common stock are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as net offering proceeds are expended in connection with the acquisition, management and operation of our investments in real estate and real estate-related investments.

Our sources of funds will primarily be the net proceeds of our offering, operating cash flows and borrowings. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other sources within the next 12 months.

Our principal demands for funds are for acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments, to pay operating expenses and interest on our current and future indebtedness and to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, we will require resources to make certain payments to our advisor and Grubb & Ellis Securities, Inc., or our dealer manager, which during our offering include payments to our advisor and its affiliates for reimbursement of other organizational and offering expenses and to our dealer manager and its affiliates for selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

Generally, cash needs for items other than acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments are met from operations, borrowings, and the net proceeds of our offering. However, there may be a delay between the sale of shares of our common stock and our investments in real estate and real estate-related investments, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations.

Our advisor evaluates potential additional investments and engages in negotiations with real estate sellers, developers, brokers, investment managers, lenders and others on our behalf. Until we invest the majority of the net proceeds of our offering in real estate and real estate-related investments, we may invest in short-term, highly liquid or other authorized investments. Such short-term investments will not earn significant returns, and we cannot predict how long it will take to fully invest the proceeds from our offering in real estate and real estate-related investments. The number of properties we may acquire and other investments we will make will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold in our offering and the resulting amount of net proceeds available for investment.

When we acquire a property, our advisor prepares a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan also sets forth the anticipated sources of the necessary capital, which may include a line of credit or other loans established with respect to the investment, operating cash generated by the investment, additional equity investments from us or joint venture partners or, when necessary, capital reserves. Any capital reserve would be established from the net proceeds of our offering, proceeds from sales of other investments, operating cash generated by other investments or other cash on hand. In some cases, a lender may require us to establish capital reserves for a particular investment. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs.

Other Liquidity Needs

In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to various factors, including, without limitation, the timing of distributions or the timing of the collection of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured or unsecured debt financing through one or more third parties, or our advisor or its affiliates. There are currently no limits or restrictions on the use of proceeds from our advisor or its affiliates which would prohibit us from making the proceeds available for distribution. We may also pay distributions from cash from capital transactions, including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties.

Based on the properties owned as of December 31, 2010, we estimate that our expenditures for capital and tenant improvements will require approximately $1,686,000 within the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2010, we had $2,649,000 of restricted cash in loan impounds and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure and distribution levels or be able to obtain additional sources of financing on commercially favorable terms, or at all.

If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, or increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Our estimate of net cash available is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of leasing activity and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, were $2,881,000 and $40,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, cash flows used in operating activities primarily related to the payment of acquisition related expenses and general and administrative expenses. For the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, cash flows used in operating activities primarily related to the payment of general and administrative expenses. We anticipate, although there can be no assurance, that cash flows from operating activities will increase as we purchase additional properties and will further increase subsequent to our acquisition phase when we will no longer be incurring acquisition related expenses.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, were $186,342,000 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, cash flows used in investing activities related primarily to the acquisition of our properties in the amount of $182,818,000, restricted cash in the amount of $2,816,000 and the payment of $649,000 in real estate and escrow deposits for the purchase of real estate. Cash flows used in investing activities are heavily dependent upon the investment of our offering proceeds in properties and real estate assets.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, were $181,468,000 and $13,813,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, such cash flows related primarily to funds raised from investors in our offering in the amount of $136,944,000, borrowings on our mortgage loans payable in the amount of $51,110,000, and net borrowings under the line of credit in the amount of $11,800,000, partially offset by the payment of offering costs of $14,442,000 and distributions of $2,087,000. Additional cash outflows related to deferred financing costs of $1,587,000 in connection with debt financings for our acquisitions. For the period from January 7, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2009, such cash flows related primarily to funds raised from investors in our offering in the amount of $15,118,000, partially offset by the payment of offering costs of $1,307,000. We anticipate, although there can be no assurance, that cash flows from financing activities will increase in the future as we raise additional funds from investors and incur additional debt to purchase properties.

Distributions

The income tax treatment for distributions reportable for the year ended December 31, 2010 was as follows:

		Year Ended
		December 31, 2010
Ordinary income		$	941,000				23.2	%
Capital gain			—				—
Return of capital			3,122,000				76.8
		$	4,063,000				100	%

We began paying distributions in 2010. Amounts listed above do not include distributions paid on nonvested shares of our restricted common stock which have been separately reported.

See Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Distributions, for a further discussion of our distributions.

Financing

We anticipate that our aggregate borrowings, both secured and unsecured, will not exceed 60.0% of all of our properties’ and other real estate-related assets’ combined fair market values, as determined at the end of each calendar year beginning with our first full year of operations. For these purposes, the fair market value of each asset will be equal to the purchase price paid for the asset or, if the asset was appraised subsequent to the date of purchase, then the fair market value will be equal to the value reported in the most recent independent appraisal of the asset. Our policies do not limit the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual investment. As of December 31, 2010, our borrowings were 36.5% of our properties’ combined fair market values.

Under our charter, we have a limitation on borrowing that precludes us from borrowing in excess of 300.0% of our net assets, without the approval of a majority of our independent directors. Net assets for purposes of this calculation are defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. Generally, the preceding calculation is expected to approximate 75.0% of the aggregate cost of our real estate and real estate-related investments before depreciation, amortization, bad debt and other similar non-cash reserves. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge some or all of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real estate or for working capital. We may also borrow funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. Furthermore, we may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we qualify, or maintain our qualification, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As of March 10, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our leverage did not exceed 300.0% of the value of our net assets.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

For a discussion of our mortgage loans payable, net, see Note 6, Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Line of Credit

For a discussion of the line of credit, see Note 8, Line of Credit, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REIT Requirements

In order to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to make distributions to our stockholders of at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains. In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to factors including, without limitation, the timing of such distributions or the timing of the collections of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured debt financing through one or more third parties. We may also pay distributions from cash from capital transactions including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties or from the proceeds of our offering.

Commitments and Contingencies

For a discussion of our commitments and contingencies, see Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Debt Service Requirements

Our principal liquidity need is the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, we had $12,354,000 ($12,332,000, net of discount) of fixed rate debt and $46,294,000 ($45,999,000, net of discount) of variable rate debt outstanding secured by our properties. In addition, we had $11,800,000 outstanding under the line of credit.

We are required by the terms of certain loan documents to meet certain covenants, such as occupancy ratios, leverage ratios, net worth ratios, debt service coverage ratios, liquidity ratios, operating cash flow to fixed charges ratios, distribution ratios and reporting requirements. As of December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements on our mortgage loans payable and the line of credit and we expect to remain in compliance with all such requirements for the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2010, the weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt, factoring in our fixed rate interest rate swaps, was 5.31% per annum.

Contractual Obligations

The following table provides information with respect to the maturity and scheduled principal repayment of our mortgage loans payable and the line of credit, as well as interest payments on our mortgage loans payable, line of credit and fixed rate interest rate swap, as of December 31, 2010:

		Payments Due by Period

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases will be the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that will protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include negotiated rental increases, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the anticipated leases, among other factors, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to cover inflation.

Subsequent Events

For a discussion of subsequent events, see Note 20, Subsequent Events, to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7A.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs while taking into account variable interest rate risk. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed or variable rates.

We also may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. It is our policy to enter into these transactions with the same party providing the underlying financing. In the alternative, we will seek to minimize the credit risk associated with derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe are high-quality counterparties. We believe the likelihood of realized losses from counterparty non-performance is remote. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We manage the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

We have entered into, and in the future may continue to enter into, derivative instruments for which we have not and may not elect hedge accounting treatment. Because we have not elected to apply hedge accounting treatment to these derivatives, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market adjustment at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Derivatives are recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their fair value of $(453,000).

The table below presents, as of December 31, 2010, the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Mortgage loans payable were $58,648,000 ($58,331,000, net of discount) as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, we had two fixed rate and four variable rate mortgage loans payable with effective interest rates ranging from 1.36% to 6.00% per annum and a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.12% per annum. As of December 31, 2010, we had $12,354,000 ($12,332,000, net of discount) of fixed rate debt, or 21.1% of mortgage loans payable, at a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.96% per annum and $46,294,000 ($45,999,000, net of discount) of variable rate debt, or 78.9% of mortgage loans payable, at a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.90% per annum. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, we had $11,800,000 outstanding under the line of credit, at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.00% per annum.

As of December 31, 2010, the weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt, factoring in our fixed rate interest rate swaps, was 5.31% per annum. $3,184,000 of our variable rate mortgage loans payable is due August 15, 2021; however, the principal balance is immediately due upon written request from the seller confirming that the seller agrees to pay the interest rate swap termination amount, if any, and as such, the $3,184,000 principal balance is reflected in the 2011 column above.

An increase in the variable interest rate on the line of credit and our variable rate mortgage loans payable constitutes a market risk. As of December 31, 2010, a 0.50% increase in the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, would have no effect on our overall annual interest expense as either (1) we have a fixed rate interest rate swap on the variable rate mortgage loan payable or (2) we are paying the minimum interest rates under the applicable agreements whereby a 0.50% increase would still be below the minimum interest rate.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.
