On October 9, 2007, Healthcare Realty Trust (“the Company”) entered into an agreement to develop, own and manage a medical office building on the campus of a hospital in the greater Seattle, Washington area.

Assuming satisfaction of such conditions, the Company expects construction will begin in the third quarter of 2008 and be completed in late 2010. The development budget will be approximately $78.4 million, and the building will contain approximately 192,000 square feet of office space including an underground parking garage with 924 spaces.
