Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On June 8, 2011, Macquarie CNL Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through a subsidiary formed for such purpose, closed on the acquisition of a fee interest in an approximately 51,000 rentable square foot, free-standing light industrial building located on approximately 12 acres of land in Pflugerville, Texas, which is near the Austin, Texas metropolitan area (the “Property”). We purchased the Property from an unaffiliated third party, Bay Investors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company for $4.55 million, exclusive of closing costs of approximately $124,900. We previously paid deposits of $100,000 which were applied to the purchase price at closing. The purchase price was funded using approximately $1.7 million of proceeds from our offering, and by a draw of approximately $2.8 million from our existing revolving line of credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Loan”).

The current outstanding Loan amount represents approximately 60% of the bank’s appraised value of the Property. The Loan is secured by a first mortgage on the Property as well as a pledge of our equity interest in a wholly owned subsidiary we formed to acquire the Property. The Loan bears interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. At our option, we may increase the amount of the Loan to approximately $3.3 million, in which event the interest rate will increase to LIBOR plus 3.20%. We are a guarantor of the Loan. We are required to make interest only payments on the Loan with all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on March 24, 2013, subject to our option to extend the Loan until March 24, 2014, upon payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions. The Loan may be prepaid at any time, subject to a minimal prepayment fee.

The building was constructed in 1991 and is 100% leased to FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. as a distribution center. The lease will expire on April 14, 2016, subject to the tenant’s option to extend the lease for an additional five year period. Monthly base rent on the lease is approximately $35,147, annualized base rent is approximately $422,000, and the effective annual base rent per leased square foot is approximately $99. The tenant is responsible for payment of all property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, excluding structural and roof expenses.

In determining to acquire the property, we considered the following:

We believe that the Property is suitable for its intended purpose and is adequately covered by insurance. We do not intend to make significant renovations or improvements to the Property.

Austin’s industrial market contains approximately 84 million square feet in 2,975 buildings, with the majority of space located in the northern and eastern parts of the Austin metropolitan statistical area. The market is predominately comprised of warehouse, distribution, and service center/flex facilities. The three largest industrial sectors in Austin are the northern submarket with approximately 19 million square feet, the southeastern submarket with approximately 14 million square feet, and the northeastern submarket with approximately 13 million square feet. The overall vacancy rate for all sectors was 12.9% in the fourth quarter of 2010, showing improvement from 13.4% in the previous quarter.

In connection with our investment in the Property, we paid our advisor an Investment Services Fee of $84,175, which is equal to 1.85% of the purchase price of the Property.

Real estate taxes assessed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the most recent tax year for which information is generally available) were approximately $97,000, calculated by multiplying the Property’s assessed value by five applicable tax rates (per $100 of assessed value) of .4568%, 1.4600%, .0719%, 6.040% and .1000%, respectively.

For federal income tax purposes, the depreciable basis in the property is expected to be approximately $2.9 million. We will calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes by using the straight line method. For federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and land improvements based on estimated useful lives of 40 years and 20 years, respectively.

The information discussed under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

We issued a press release describing the transaction covered by this report, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 7.01 disclosure.
