Acquisitions

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, Piedmont purchased the 1200 Enclave Parkway Building in Houston, Texas, and acquired the 46-story, 962,361 square foot, Class A, commercial office building in downtown Chicago, Illinois (the "500 W. Monroe Building") through a foreclosure sale related to certain notes receivable held by Piedmont (see Note 4 for a more complete description of this transaction).
