Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On August 20, 2012, Hines Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. ("Hines REIT") issued a press release to announce Hines REIT's recent leasing success at Williams Tower.  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.
 
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to items such as improving economic fundamentals and the positive impact of the increased occupancy on Hines REIT's portfolio are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are based on current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks associated with the ability to retain tenants and the success and economic viability of tenants that may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of Hines REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
