Exhibit 99.1
FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp.


FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (the "Company") has declared a dividend in the amount of $997 per share of preferred stock, representing property operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The dividend will be payable on May 28, 2010, and will be distributed by the Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Co. (“AST”). NOTE:  if your investment is in a retirement account, the dividend will be sent to your custodian or plan administrator.

The Company owns a twenty-eight story multi-tenant office tower located in downtown Chicago, Illinois containing approximately 859,000 square feet of office and retail space and a 294-stall underground parking garage (the “Property”).  The Property was approximately 73% leased as of March 31, 2010.  Subsequent to quarter’s end, management executed a lease amendment with XO Communications Services (“XO”) to expand by 3,381 square feet and to extend its lease term by eight years.  XO’s lease will expire in April 2022, and XO now leases 30,077 square feet in the concourse level.  During calendar 2010, there will be approximately 47,482 square feet of leases expiring which represent approximately 5.5% of the Property’s rentable space.  Management has been working diligently with most of these tenants to extend their respective leases and is in the process of finalizing approximately 39,000 square feet of short-term renewals with four tenants.  Finally, management has agreed to business terms and is currently in the process of negotiating the final lease language regarding a new lease for a full floor or approximately 30,000 square feet.  The prospective tenant is currently located in a different submarket in Chicago, and management is encouraged that the East Loop and the Company’s Property are attracting interest from larger prospects in the broader market place.  Management will continue to work on finalizing these transactions and is hopeful to report good news in the next quarterly update.  It is important to keep in mind that leasing space in Chicago properties is very expensive in an economic downturn.  The Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant leasing costs in an effort to stabilize the occupancy.  It is possible the Company's board of directors could decide to reduce the amount of the dividend in the near future, for some period of time, in order to replenish capital reserves that will be required to pay for costs associated with current and upcoming leasing/re-leasing efforts.

The Property’s largest tenant is KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), which leases approximately 259,000 square feet (30%) of the Property’s rentable space through August 2012.  In the first half of 2009, management reported that KPMG notified us that it will be relocating to a different property location following the expiration of its lease on August 31, 2012.  With more than two years remaining on KPMG’s lease, management has implemented a marketing plan designed to locate a replacement tenant (or tenants) and will continue to proactively hunt for prospects.  Large users of space are often looking at their options many years in advance of the desired commencement date.  The leasing team has been actively pursuing these prospects for a late 2012 or early 2013 occupancy.

 
 

 

The leasing environment in Chicago over the past six quarters has been extremely challenging.  Despite the unfavorable conditions, management was successful in negotiating and signing over 34,000 square feet of leases during 2009.  This activity represents approximately 4% of the total rentable space in the Property and comprises both renewals and new deals.  Unfortunately, as previously reported, a few tenants that had occupied approximately 15% of aggregate space at the Property decided to relocate elsewhere in Chicago during the past year.  None of these recent departures came as a surprise to management as the tenants communicated their intentions to leave because they were consolidating into other locations or relocating to different submarkets.  Please be assured that management has been very diligent and proactive in retaining any and all existing tenants, as well as trying to attract new tenants to the Property.  However, management’s leasing efforts are guided by its belief that it should not compromise the potential long-term value of the Property for short-term leasing gains on unfavorable terms as a result of current economic conditions.

The Company’s quarterly filing on Form 10-Q will be submitted to the SEC within approximately 45 days after the end of the quarter, and you will be able to access the document via the SEC’s website. To view Company filings with the SEC, access the following link:
