Item 8.01		Other Events

     On June 10, 2010, Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”), through a consolidated joint venture subsidiary, entered into agreements with Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado to develop two four-story medical office buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet and a related parking structure on the St. Anthony West Medical Campus, which is currently under development in Lakewood, Colorado.

     The Company and its joint venture partner, Ladco Development of Des Moines, Iowa, will develop the facilities. The Company expects its total investment in this project to be approximately $55 million. Construction is expected to commence July 2010 and completion is estimated for the third quarter of 2011. Leases for approximately 66,000 square feet of office space have been executed, including a women’s imaging center and an oncology center. Lakewood is a burgeoning community immediately west of Denver with demographics that support increasing demand for high-quality medical office space.

     The new St. Anthony West Medical Campus will be comprised of a 222-bed acute care replacement hospital and the new 48-bed OrthoColorado hospital. The campus will provide specialties in the areas of trauma and emergency, orthopedics, neurosciences, cardiovascular and women’s services and will replace St. Anthony Central Hospital located in Denver, Colorado. St. Anthony West Medical Campus is part of the Centura Health System in Colorado, which is a joint venture between Catholic Health Initiatives and the Portercare Adventist Health System.
