Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On April 4, 2011, Apartment Trust of America, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) distributed a letter to stockholders regarding the payment of the Company’s February distribution to its stockholders. The letter stated, in relevant part, that on March 25, 2011, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to register the shares for sale under our amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a reinvestment price of $9.50 per share, until such time as our Board of Directors publicly announces an estimated value of our shares. The Registration Statement automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. However, the Registration Statement must also be declared effective or exempt from registration in the various states before shares may be sold under the DRP. We have submitted the necessary registration or exemption applications to the respective states and are now awaiting such declaration of registration or exemption.
     In order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements we must wait to pay the February distribution until the Registration Statement is declared effective or exempt from registration in all states. We expect to obtain such registration or exemption some time in the next few weeks, at which point, we intend to pay the February distribution, at the rate of 6% per annum, and the March distribution, at the rate of 3% per annum.
     The information furnished under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
