Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        We hereby amend our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 3, 2004 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2004), with regard to the initial acquisition of three buildings located in Hebron, Kentucky to include the subsequent purchase of a fourth building thereby completing the acquisition of this portfolio, referred to as American Real Estate Holdings Portfolio (AREP).

        Purchase of American Real Estate Holdings Portfolio (AREP).    On June 8, 2004 and June 29, 2004, we acquired a fee interest in three buildings, collectively 94% leased, totaling 1,199,600 square feet located in Hebron, Kentucky and one building, 100% leased, totaling 520,000 square feet located in La Vergne, Tennessee, respectively (collectively "AREP"). The total estimated cost of AREP was approximately $66.0 million (which includes an acquisition fee of $643,500 that is payable to Dividend Capital Advisors LLC, an affiliate), which was paid from the proceeds of our public offering and the assumption of three existing, non-recourse mortgage loans. The outstanding principal balance of the three mortgage loans totaled approximately $41.8 million. These loans mature in 2008 and 2012 and have a weighted average interest rate of 6.91%.
