Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

We entered into a definitive purchase agreement on May 10, 2006 (the “Agreement”) to acquire a portfolio of 79 bulk distribution, light industrial and service center buildings from a joint venture between TIAA-CREF and RREEF that is an unrelated third party. Specifically, the Agreement names the following subsidiaries of the joint venture as the sellers: (i) Cabot Industrial Venture A, LLC, (ii) Cabot Industrial Venture B, LLC, (iii) CW Industrial Venture A, LLC, (iv) Cabot Industrial Venture A Texas, LP and (v) Cabot Industrial Venture B Texas, LP (collectively the “Seller”). The 79 buildings aggregate approximately 7.9 million square feet and are located in the following eight markets: Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Dallas, Miami, Orlando and San Francisco (collectively the portfolio is referred to as “Cal TIA”).

Per the Agreement, the purchase price of Cal TIA is approximately $496.4 million, which we anticipate funding with proceeds from existing cash balances, our partnership’s private placement and debt. In connection with the signing of the Agreement, we made a $5.0 million refundable deposit and, upon completion of our due diligence by June 5, 2006 and our election to proceed with the acquisition, we will be required to deposit an additional $5.0 million, and our deposit will only be refundable under limited circumstances. We anticipate closing the acquisition of Cal TIA on June 9, 2006. However, the anticipated closing date is subject to change upon the written approval of us and the Seller.

The closing of this acquisition is subject to a number of contingencies, including satisfactory completion of due diligence and receipt of estoppels, and there can be no assurances that this acquisition will be consummated.
