Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 8, 2011, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”), through its sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with MCP SO Strategic, 56, L.P. to acquire one fee-simple parking garage commercial condominium property. On June 27, 2011, the board of directors of the Company approved the acquisition of the property, subject to the Company’s completion of its due diligence review upon which the purchase and sale agreement was conditioned, among other conditions. The Company completed its due diligence review on June 29, 2011. The closing of the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2011 at a purchase price of $5.4 million, excluding acquisition costs. The seller has no material relationship with the Company and the acquisition is not an affiliated transaction.

The Company acquired a fee-simple interest in the property, which is a parking garage commercial condominium located on 33 West 56th Street in the Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The property is located at the base of the newly developed, luxury “Centurion Condominium” and consists of approximately 12,856 square feet of gross leasable area encompassing 76 parking spaces. The property is 100% leased to Regal Car Park, LLC, a parking management company specializing in New York City.

The Company funded the acquisition, excluding acquisition costs, of the property with (a) net proceeds from its ongoing offering of approximately $2.4 million and (b) a $3.0 million mortgage loan received from Citigroup Global Market Realty Corp. The mortgage loan bears interest at a rate of 4.39% and requires only interest payments until its maturity date in June 2016. A description of the terms of the mortgage loan is included in Item 2.03 — Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The property has been 100% leased to Regal Car Park, LLC since July 17, 2009, after completion of construction of the property in 2008. The lease has a 25-year term expiring in July 2034. The tenant has no renewal options. The annualized rental income on a straight-line basis for the remaining term of the lease is approximately $400,000. The lease contains contractual rental escalations of 3% every two years. The lease is double net inasmuch asthe landlord is responsible for maintaining the structure of the building.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 30, 2011, the Company, through its sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, incurred a $3.0 million mortgage loan in connection with its acquisition of the property. The mortgage loan was advanced by Citigroup Global Market Realty Corp. The mortgage loan bears interest at a rate of 4.39% and requires only monthly interest payments with the principal balance due on the maturity date in June 2016. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse and may be accelerated only upon the event of a default. The mortgage loan may be prepaid through defeasance. As the mortgage loan is interest only, it is not subject to amortization and the principal outstanding upon maturity will remain $3.0 million.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 5, 2011, the Company issued a press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing the closing of the Company’s acquisition of the property on June 30, 2011.
