Item 8.01		Other Events

     On July 25, 2008, Healthcare Realty Trust (the “Company”) purchased two six-story office buildings and a six-level parking structure in Dallas, Texas for $59.2 million.

     Baylor Health Care System affiliates and other medical tenants occupy one of the buildings under long-term leases. The other building is entirely leased to a single corporate tenant who will vacate the building when its lease expires in July 2010. Each building contains 146,000 square feet, and the parking structure contains 977 parking spaces. Built in 1999, the Class A buildings benefit from a desirable location along the North Central Expressway and their proximity to upscale residential communities, shopping districts, and three of the largest medical campuses in Dallas — Presbyterian Hospital, Medical City Hospital, and Baylor University Medical Center. The immediate submarket has some of the highest occupancy and lease rates in Dallas. This acquisition expands the Company’s existing Dallas/Fort Worth portfolio to more than two million square feet.
