Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Roberts Realty Investors, Inc., the registrant, conducts its business through Roberts Properties Residential, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), which owns all of our properties. On November 3, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into a Reciprocal Easements Agreement with Highway Nine Investors, LLC (“Highway Nine”), which is wholly owned by Mr. Charles S. Roberts, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Roberts Realty. The Reciprocal Easements Agreement relates to the development of our 22-acre Bradley Park apartment property.

Highway Nine owns a 5.8-acre undeveloped land parcel that is zoned for commercial development and is adjacent to our Bradley Park apartment property. Under the agreement, the Operating Partnership obtained temporary, non-exclusive easements: (a) to allow the Operating Partnership to deposit Bradley Park’s excess dirt on the Highway Nine parcel instead of having to haul the excess dirt to a much farther away location, which results in a construction cost savings for the Bradley Park apartment community; (b) to allow the Operating Partnership to perform grading work related to moving the excess dirt; and (c) to allow the Operating Partnership to extend a sanitary sewer line at Highway’s Nine’s expense. Highway Nine also granted the Operating Partnership a perpetual, exclusive and irrevocable easement to construct, maintain and use approximately 13 surface level parking spaces on a portion of the 5.8-acre Highway Nine commercial parcel. The Operating Partnership agreed to allow part of the entry drive for the Highway Nine commercial parcel to be located on a part of the Bradley Park property that was not being used for the Bradley Park apartment community. These reciprocal easements will benefit both parties, and no additional consideration was paid by either party.

In compliance with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE MKT stock exchange, our audit committee, which is composed of three independent directors, approved the agreement as outlined above in accordance with the committee’s charter. Additionally, in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the board of directors approved the agreement, with Mr. Roberts abstaining from the vote.
