Changes from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement

The disclosure under “Acquisition Update” in the Recent Developments section of the Prospectus Summary is replaced with the following:

Acquisition Update

In 2011 through the date of this prospectus, we completed the acquisition of approximately $281.5 million in our investment portfolio, including acquiring 99 properties with an aggregate 1.8 million square feet of gross leasable area. As a result of our recent acquisitions and our expectation of increased acquisition activity, we have increased our projected acquisition volume for 2011 to between $400 million and $500 million from our prior projected acquisition volume between $200 million and $250 million for 2011. There can be no assurance, however, that we will complete any projected additional acquisitions this year, if at all.
