On July 16, 2012, Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), the sponsor of Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global”) issued a press release relating to Hines Global’s acquisition of 100 Brookes Street on July 13, 2012. A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein are deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Item 8.01 Other Events.
 
On July 13, 2012, a subsidiary of Hines Global acquired 100 Brookes Street, an office property located in Brisbane, Australia. The seller, Anthony John Group, is not affiliated with Hines Global or its affiliates. 100 Brookes Street consists of 105,637 square feet of net rentable area that is 100% leased through January 2018 to Bechtel, an engineering, construction and project management firm. The net purchase price for 100 Brookes Street was approximately 66.5 million Australian dollars ("AUD") ($67.6 million assuming a rate of $1.0165 per AUD based on the transaction date), exclusive of transaction costs, financing fees and working capital reserves. Hines Global funded the acquisition using proceeds from its current public offering and a 43.2 million AUD ($43.9 million assuming a rate of $1.0165 per AUD based on the transaction date) mortgage loan with the Bank of Western Australia Ltd.
