ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On November 29, 2006, AmeriVest Properties Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale of the Centerra building in Denver, Colorado, the Southwest Gas building in Phoenix, Arizona, and Parkway Centre II in Dallas, Texas to Koll/PER, LLC (“Koll/PER”), a limited liability company owned by The Koll Company of Newport Beach, California and the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho.  These three sales will be referred to in this filing as the “November 29th Disposition”.  The November 29th Disposition is the final transaction to close under the Company’s Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 17, 2006 with Koll/PER and completes the liquidation of our real estate portfolio, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2006.

The Centerra building was sold for $24,675,000, the Southwest Gas building was sold for $19,200,000, and Parkway Centre II building was sold for $24,860,000.  The estimated cash proceeds of approximately $30 million, net of $2 million earnest money previously received, after assignment of the mortgage encumbering the three properties, closing costs and adjustments, will be accumulated with other proceeds and made available, subject to the expenses and future estimated liquidation costs of AmeriVest, for distribution to shareholders under the plan of liquidation approved by AmeriVest shareholders.  The Board of Directors previously announced a $3.50 per share initial liquidating distribution payable on November 16, 2006 to shareholders of record as of November 10, 2006, and announced on November 30, 2006 a second liquidating distribution of $1.75 per share to shareholders of record as of December 11, 2006 to be paid December 18, 2006.  They further announced that, provided no claim for breach of any representations and warranties under the purchase and sale agreement with Koll/PER has been made by February 27, 2007, and absent other circumstances under which it would be appropriate for the Trustee to retain the amount reserved pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, an additional amount, not to exceed $0.40 per share or approximately $9.65 million, is expected to be distributed by the yet-to-be-formed AmeriVest Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) to record holders of beneficial interests in the Trust in March 2007.  There can be no assurance with respect to the timing or amount of any subsequent distribution or distributions to be made by the Company other than what was mentioned above.  This summary above is qualified in its entirety by the press release relating to the November 29th Disposition, which is included under Item 9.01(d) as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item by reference.

As a result of the approval of the plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) by our stockholders, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of June 1, 2006, and for all subsequent periods.  Accordingly, all assets have been adjusted to their estimated net realizable value.  Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing the Plan, have been adjusted to their estimated settlement amounts.  The estimates of the Company’s assets and liabilities will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate.  The historical estimates for the valuation of real estate held-for-sale was based on the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Koll/PER, net of estimated selling costs and other potential costs relating to the liquidation.  Due to the Company having liquidated all assets, actual values realized for assets and settlement of liabilities differed from the amounts estimated due to the resolution of certain contingencies, and the estimated future cash flows from property operations were made based on the anticipated sales dates of the assets.  However, due to the changes in the timing of the sales and the cash flows therefrom, revenues and expenses generated by operations differed from amounts previously estimated.  These amounts are presented in the accompanying historic Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at September 30, 2006.  The net assets represent the estimated liquidation value of our assets available to our stockholders upon liquidation.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of September 30, 2006, reflects the financial position of the Company after giving effect to the October  and November 8th Dispositions and the November 29th Disposition, as discussed in Item 2.01, as if such dispositions took place on September 30, 2006. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the five months ended May 31, 2006 give effect to the disposition of the Previously Reported Dispositions and the November 29th Disposition as if such dispositions occurred on January 1, 2005.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company based upon historical financial statements of the Company, the operations of the properties sold, and assumptions deemed proper by management and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for the inclusion in the Form 8-K to be filed by AmeriVest Properties Inc. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are shown for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future results of operations of the

Company, or of the financial position or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the sales been consummated on the date indicated. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
