Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 1, 2004, the Registrant completed the acquisition of 17 properties
from Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated ("CIP(R)"). The purchase price
was approximately $142 million, including the assumption of approximately $28
million in debt. These properties, totaling 2.4 million square feet, consist of
office, industrial, retail and warehouse facilities located in nine states. A
summary of the properties follows below. The price paid for the properties was
based on an appraisal performed by an independent third party appraiser.

The acquisition was made in connection with acquisition of CIP(R)'s remaining
interests in properties by Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated
("CPA(R):15"), constituting 82 properties located in 28 states, totaling
approximately 7.6 million square feet, for approximately $571 million in cash,
stock and assumption of debt. These properties have lease terms that average 12
years.

CIP(R) and CPA(R):15 are each managed by the Registrant. In connection with the
acquisition of the properties by the Registrant and the acquisition by CPA(R):15
of the other CIP(R) properties, the Registrant received approximately $47.3
million in disposition and other management fees paid by CIP(R), including
approximately $1 million in accrued fees attributable to normal operations
unrelated to the above described transactions and payable at the time of the
closing.
