Item 8.01. Other Events.

Status of Investments in Real Estate

As of May 18, 2011, Industrial Income Trust Inc. (the “Company”) has acquired or entered into agreements to acquire properties with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $589.7 million, comprised of 64 buildings in 11 markets that total approximately 10.2 million square feet. One of the properties is considered a “value-add” acquisition, as it is currently vacant. Assuming that the Company completed the acquisitions under contract as of May 18, 2011, the operating portfolio, which excludes the value-add property, would consist of 63 buildings with 157 tenants, a weighted-average occupancy rate of approximately 96%, and an aggregate average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 5.8 years. The estimated aggregate weighted-average purchase price capitalization rate for the operating portfolio would be approximately 7.2%. The Company has financed its completed acquisitions with proceeds from its initial public offering and from debt financings.
