Filed October 1, 2012
File No. 333-184201
Dear Mr. McTiernan:
Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), Realty Income Corporation (the Company) hereby requests that the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated so that the Registration Statement will become effective under the Securities Act on December 5, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time, or as soon thereafter as practicable. In connection with this request, the Company acknowledges that:
| should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
| the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
| the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
