Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On May 5, 2011, Parkway Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell 233 North Michigan for a gross sale price of $162.2 million and has received a $17.0 million non-refundable earnest deposit. 233 North Michigan is a 1.1 million square foot office property located in the central business district of Chicago, Illinois. Closing is expected to occur later this month and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary and typical for an agreement and transaction of this nature.  The Company plans to repay the $84.6 million first mortgage that is secured by the property upon closing.  Parkway expects to receive net cash proceeds from the sale after the repayment of the first mortgage of approximately $75.5 million, which the Company expects to use to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company estimates that it will recognize a gain on the sale of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2011.

The description of the Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
Certain statements in this current report relating to the Company’s expectations as to the timing of the disposition and descriptions relating to these expectations are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are based upon the Company’s current belief as to the outcome and timing of future events.  There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by the Company. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are subject to change based upon various factors, including but not limited to the following risks and uncertainties: changes in the real estate industry and in performance of the financial markets;  tenant financial difficulties and general economic conditions, including interest rates, as well as economic conditions in those areas where the Company owns properties; the failure to sell properties as and when anticipated; the risk that a condition to closing of these transactions may not be satisfied;  and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.
