Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 24, 2010, Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) issued a press release disclosing that it had effected the sale of $1.5 million of its 7.95% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $4.5 million of the Notes granted to the initial purchaser in the Company’s private placement of $30.0 million of the Notes that closed on May 7, 2010, as previously disclosed.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.4 million from the over-allotment sale of the Notes, and aggregate net proceeds of approximately $29.4 million from the sale of all $31.5 million of the Notes. The Company will use such net proceeds for growth initiatives, short-term working capital and general corporate purposes. The Notes are presently convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 445.583 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture governing the Notes dated as of May 7, 2010.

The Notes and the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company offered and sold the Notes in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements that apply to offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering pursuant to Section 144A of the Securities Act. As such, the Notes were offered and sold only to “qualified institutional buyers”, as that term is defined under the Securities Act. Shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been reserved for issuance by the Company and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company also disclosed in the press release that the Company has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than June 30^th a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 registering, on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes, the resale of the Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In addition, the Company also disclosed that it intended to convert the currently effective registration statement on Form S-1 that it had previously filed on behalf of certain purchasers of its 12% cumulative convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to a registration statement on Form S-3. This conversion will not result in the offering or registration of any additional securities of the Company.

This Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes, the Preferred Stock, or the common stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or Preferred Stock in any state in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

The foregoing is a summary of the press release, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Grubb & Ellis Company Announces Closing of Over-Allotment
Option for Convertible Notes

SANTA ANA, Calif. (June 24, 2010) — Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE: GBE), a leading real estate services and investment firm, today announced that it sold an additional $1.5 million of its 7.95% unsecured convertible notes due in 2015 pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchaser in connection with the company’s private note offering of $30 million that closed on May 7, 2010.

The company intends to use the net proceeds of approximately $29.4 million from the sale of the aggregate of $31.5 million of notes to fund growth initiatives, short-term working capital and general corporate purposes. The notes are convertible into the company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 445.583 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to the Indenture governing the notes dated as of May 7, 2010.

All of the notes in the private offering were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The notes and the underlying common stock issuable upon conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. In connection with the private note offering, the company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than June 30, 2010 a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 registering, on behalf of the purchasers of the notes, the resale of the notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

The company also intends to convert its currently effective registration statement on Form S-1 that it previously filed on behalf of certain purchasers of its 12% cumulative convertible preferred stock to a registration statement on Form S-3, which conversion will not result in the offering or registration of any additional securities of the company.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or the preferred stock (including the shares of common stock into which the notes and/or preferred stock are convertible), nor shall there be any sale of the notes or the preferred stock (including the shares of common stock into which the notes and/or preferred stock are convertible) in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
