Re: Mission West Properties, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Pursuant to Rule 177 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  Mission West
Properties  (the  "Registrant")  hereby  requests  the  withdrawal  today of the
post-effective amendment no. 2 to registration statement on Form S-4 on Form S-3
filed on March 29, 2006 because it was  inadvertently  filed under the incorrect
EDGAR  submission  tag,  S-3/A,  and a new  post-effective  amendment  no.  2 to
registration statement on Form S-4 on Form S-3 has been re-filed today under the
submission  tag, POS AM. No  securities  have been sold in  connection  with the
offering.


Very truly yours,

MISSION WEST PROPERTIES, INC.

By: /s/ Wayne N. Pham
