Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

123 William Street

On March 27, 2015, American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s operating partnership (the “OP”), closed its acquisition of the fee simple interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 123 William Street in Downtown Manhattan (the “Property”). The seller of the Property was EEGO 123 William Owner, LLC (the “Seller”). Except as set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company acquired the Property free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances, including any mezzanine loans or preferred equity positions previously issued by the Seller to its previous investors.

The Seller is a wholly owned subsidiary of EEGO-ARC 123 William JV, LLC, a joint venture in which New York REIT, Inc. (“NYRT”) held a $35.1 million preferred equity interest. The sponsor of NYRT is also the sponsor of the Company.

The contract purchase price for the Property was $253.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The amount of consideration payable to the Seller in connection with the acquisition of the Property was determined by arms-length negotiations between the Seller and the Company, and not pursuant to any specific formula or principle. The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering and a loan from Capital One, National Association, as described below in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. In connection with the acquisition of the Property, the Company paid its advisor $5.9 million in acquisition fees.

The Property contains approximately 543,000 rentable square feet and is currently 98% leased. The Property’s largest tenants are the People of the State of New York, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. and the City of New York, each representing approximately 17%, 14% and 12% of annualized cash base rent, respectively.

The following table provides information relating to lease commencement and termination dates, rentable square feet, annualized cash base rent, rental escalations and renewal options for the three largest tenants, which represent greater than 10% of total annualized cash base rent. The leases with the People of the State of New York and the City of New York each, in the aggregate, represent greater than 10% of total rentable square feet. The lease with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. represents greater than 10% of total rentable square feet. No other tenants represent greater than 10% of total rentable square feet.
