RE: | Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. |
CIK No. 0001567925 |
Dear Ms. Gowetski:
On behalf of Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. (the Company), please find transmitted herewith for filing the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on October 11, 2013 (the Registration Statement), in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and pursuant to Rule 101(a) of Regulation S-T promulgated thereunder.
The Registration Statement is being filed principally in response to comments of the Commissions staff (the Staff) set forth in the Commissions letter dated September 3, 2013. The headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings and numbered paragraphs of the Commissions letter. References to page numbers (other than in headings taken from the Commissions letter) are to pages of the Prospectus (the Prospectus) as revised and included in the Registration Statement.
On behalf of the Company, we respond to the specific comments of the Staff as follows:
General
Comment No. 1: Please obtain and file the independent registered public accounting firms consent.
Response: The Company hereby confirms that the independent registered public account firms consent has been filed as Exhibit 23.1 to the Registration Statement.
Comment No. 2: Please provide us with copies of any graphics, maps, photographs, and related captions or other artwork including logos that you intend to use in the prospectus. Such graphics and pictorial representations should not be included in any preliminary prospectus distributed to prospective investors prior to our review.
Response: In a supplemental filing, the Company will provide the Staff with copies of any graphics, maps, photographs and related captions or other artwork, including logos, that it intends to use in the Prospectus. The Company further undertakes to submit these and any additional examples of such materials, if any, to the Staff for review prior to using them in any preliminary Prospectus.

Comment No. 3: Please provide us with support for all quantitative and qualitative business and industry data used in the registration statement. The requested information should be filed as EDGAR correspondence or, alternatively, should be sent in paper form accompanied by a cover letter indicating that the material is being provided pursuant to Securities Act Rule 418 and that such material should be returned to the registrant upon completion of the staff review process.
Response: The Company hereby undertakes to supplementally file with the Staff support for the quantitative and qualitative business and industry data used throughout the Prospectus. Such supplemental filing will be marked to note the relevant supporting data.
Comment No. 4: We note that you may invest in real estate-related equity and debt interests. We note that you intend to operate your business in a manner that will permit you to maintain an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Please provide us with a detailed analysis of the exemption that you and your subsidiaries intend to rely on and how your investment strategy will support that exemption. Please note that we will refer your response to the Division of Investment Management for further review.
Response: As discussed in more detail in the Investment Objectives, Strategy and Criteria Investment Company Act Considerations section of the Prospectus, the Company intends to conduct its operations, and the operations of its operating partnership, and any other subsidiaries, so that no such entity meets the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an investment company if:
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or |
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, or the 40% test. Investment securities excludes U.S. Government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. |
The Company intends to acquire a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing healthcare facilities and data centers; however, its portfolio may include, to a much lesser extent, other real estate-related investments. The Company anticipates that it will primarily engage in the business of investing in real property either directly or, most likely, through wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, including the operating partnership. The Company intends to monitor its operations and its assets on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, meets the definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

The Company believes that neither it nor its operating partnership will be considered investment companies under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither of these entities will engage primarily or hold themselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, the Company, through its operating partnership, will be engaged primarily in non-investment company businesses related to real estate. Consequently, the Company expects that it and its operating partnership will be able to conduct their respective operations such that neither entity will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
In addition, because the Company is organized as a holding company that will conduct its business primarily through its operating partnership, which in turn is a holding company that will conduct its business through its subsidiaries, the Company intends to conduct its operations, and the operations of its operating partnership and any other subsidiary, so that the Company will not meet the 40% test under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.
Comment No. 5: Please provide us with all promotional material and sales literature, including material that will be used only by broker-dealers. In this regard, please note that sales materials must set forth a balanced presentation of the risks and rewards to investors and should be consistent with the representations in the prospectus. Please refer to Item 19B of Industry Guide 5.
Response: The Company will provide the Staff with all promotional material and sales literature, including material that will be used only by broker-dealers. The Company acknowledges the requirements of Item 19.B of Industry Guide 5.
Comment No. 6: Please be advised that you are responsible for analyzing the applicability of the tender offer rules, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E, to your share repurchase program. We urge you to consider all the elements of your share repurchase program in determining whether the program is consistent with relief granted by the Division of Corporation Finance in prior no action letters. See, for example, T REIT Inc. (Letter dated June 4, 2001) and Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (Letter dated December 3, 2003). To the extent you have questions as to whether the program is entirely consistent with the relief previously granted by the Division of Corporation Finance, you may contact the Divisions Office of Mergers and Acquisitions.
Response: In accordance with the Staffs comment, the Company has reviewed the applicability of the tender offer rules, including Rule 13e-4, Regulation 14E and the relevant no-action letters, to its share repurchase plan in determining that the plan is consistent with relief granted by the Division of Corporation Finance in prior no action letters. To the extent the Company has questions as to whether the program is consistent with the relief previously granted by the Division of Corporation Finance, the Company understands that the Company should contact the Divisions Office of Mergers and Acquisitions.
