Item 8.01     Other Event.

On July 12, 2012, we agreed to sell to Stanford Realty Associates, Inc., our fee interest in the real property located at 119 Madison Avenue, New York, New York and 27-29 East 30th Street, New York, New York, for $18.25 million (which includes Stanford Realty’s pre-payment or assumption of the existing first mortgage in the approximate amount of $6.93 million).  Stanford Realty also agreed to pay us (i) an additional $2 million (the “Additional Payment”) if, prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing, this property is further sold or if it is converted to condominium or cooperative form of ownership and (ii) any local real property transfer taxes associated with the sale in excess of $400,000 and mortgage pre-payment penalties, if any.  Stanford Realty is the long-term lessee at this property.  There are no financing or due diligence conditions to the closing of this sale.

We anticipate that this sale will be completed by late September 2012 and estimate that the gain for accounting purposes will be approximately $15 million (assuming that no Additional Payment is made).
