Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Century Properties Growth Fund XXII, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Registrant”), owns a 100% interest in Wood Creek CPGF 22, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership owns Wood Creek Apartments (“Wood Creek”), a 432-unit apartment complex located in Mesa, Arizona. On March 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a third party, Pivotal Finance, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), to sell Wood Creek to the Purchaser for a total sales price of $28,250,000.

The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit.

PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $28,250,000, subject to certain prorations and adjustments at the closing. The Purchaser delivered an initial deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) of $250,000 to First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”).

FEASIBILITY PERIOD. The feasibility period ends on March 31, 2011. On or before the expiration of the feasibility period, the Purchaser is required to deliver an additional deposit of $250,000. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Partnership in writing of its intent to terminate the contract on or prior to the end of the feasibility period, the deposits will become non-refundable.

CLOSING. The expected closing date of the transaction is the earlier of (i) 15 days after the Purchaser receives approval of the loan assumption or (ii) May 31, 2011. The Purchaser has the option to extend the loan assumption approval period for two periods, one of 17 days and one of 14 days, from April 15, 2011, to May 16, 2011 (which date assumes both extension options are exercised), by delivering written notice to the Partnership and a deposit of $25,000 to the Escrow Agent for each extension period. The Partnership has the option to extend the closing date to the last business day of the month in which the closing date otherwise would occur. The closing is also subject to customary conditions and deliveries.

COSTS AND FEES. The Purchaser will pay all recording charges with respect to the deed, any premiums and fees required to be paid by the Purchaser with respect to the title policy and one-half of the customary escrow fee and closing costs of the Escrow Agent. The Partnership will pay any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, the base premium for the title policy, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the property and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Purchaser and the Partnership each made limited representations and warranties to the other.

RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss or damage to Wood Creek by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the closing date equal to or less than $2,000,000 will be borne by the Partnership. The Partnership agreed to maintain, in full force and effect until the closing date, all existing insurance coverage on Wood Creek.

ASSIGNMENT. With the exception of an assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchase Agreement is not assignable by the Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Partnership.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If the Purchaser defaults on its obligations to deliver when required any required deposits, the purchase price or any other specified deliveries, then the Purchaser will forfeit its deposits to the Partnership, and neither party will be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale. The Partnership expressly waived the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.

If the Partnership, prior to the closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations then the Purchaser has the option of (i) terminating the Purchase Agreement, receiving a return of its deposits, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs up to $75,000 or, (ii) subject to certain conditions, seeking specific performance of the Partnership’s obligation to deliver the deed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

(d) Exhibit

10.52 Purchase and Sale Contract between Wood Creek CPGF 22, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Pivotal Finance, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, dated March 1, 2011.*

*Schedules and supplemental materials to the exhibit have been omitted but will be provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request.

The agreements included as exhibits to this Form 8-K contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:

· should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

· have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;

· may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to an investor; and

· were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement and are subject to more recent developments.

Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. The Registrant acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 8-K not misleading. Additional information about the Registrant may be found elsewhere in this Form 8-K and the Registrant’s other public filings, which are available without charge through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
