This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) updates information originally provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed September 9, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), in which WRIT reported closing on the first three out of five separate purchase and sale agreements to effectuate the sale of WRIT’s entire industrial portfolio and two office properties. Except for the following, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and WRIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed August 9, 2011.

        On October 5, 2011 WRIT entered into an amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement #5 under which WRIT agreed to seek prepayment of the mortgage note secured by Dulles Business Park II prior to closing the sale. Under the terms of the amendment, if WRIT can prepay the mortgage note prior to November 1, 2011, then the sale will close on November 1, 2011 and the sales price will be increased by $875,000 to $70,560,324, substantially offsetting the penalties incurred by WRIT for the prepayment of the mortgage note. If WRIT cannot prepay the mortgage note prior to November 1, 2011, then the closing date for the sale will occur on November 10, 2011 or the earliest date on which the mortgage note lender accepts prepayment of the mortgage note, and the increase in the sales price will be equal to the amount of the prepayment penalties incurred.

The foregoing description of the purchase and sale agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase and sale agreements, copies of which were filed as Exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2011. Purchase and Sale Agreement #5 is subject to closing conditions and other terms and conditions customary for real estate transactions.
