Item 2.01                      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On January 9, 2012 Parkway Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office property located in the central business district of Chicago, Illinois, to HUB Properties Trust (“Buyer), an affiliate of Commonwealth REIT, for a gross sale price of $150.6 million.   The property serves as collateral for a $147.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.3% and a maturity date in July 2016.  At closing, the Buyer assumed the $147.9 million first mortgage secured by the property.  Parkway received net cash proceeds from the sale after the assumption of the first mortgage of approximately $2.8 million, which the Company used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.  As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on May 12, 2011, the Company previously sold 233 North Michigan to the Buyer.  There is no other material relationship between the Company and the Buyer.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended, between the Company and HUB Properties Trust was filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on September 23, 2011 and incorporated herein by reference.  Unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the Company reflecting the disposition of 111 East Wacker was filed with the Company’s Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2011 and incorporated herein by reference.
