Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On August 25, 2006, Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“WRIT”) acquired the Matan Portfolio for $94.0 million. The portfolio consists of seven office buildings totaling approximately 442,000 square feet in Rockville and Gaithersburg, Maryland. The purchase was funded with borrowings of $25.0 million on WRIT’s line of credit facilities, the assumption of $57.3 million of in place mortgage loans and $11.7 million of cash. During the period from July 1, 2006 to August 25, 2006, WRIT purchased eight real estate properties, including the Matan Portfolio and 15005 Shady Grove Road, which, individually are insignificant as defined in Regulation S-X, but in the aggregate, constitute a “significant amount of assets” as defined in Regulation S-X. When acquisitions are individually insignificant but significant in the aggregate, Regulation S-X requires the presentation of audited financial statements for assets comprising a substantial majority of the individually insignificant properties. The Matan Portfolio and 15005 Shady Grove Road, purchased on July 12, 2006, constitute a “substantial majority” of the assets acquired by WRIT through the period ended August 25, 2006 as defined in the Regulation.
