<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On September 7, 2012, American Realty Capital New York Recovery
REIT, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, closed the acquisition
of the fee simple interest in a condominium building which contains 50 rental units and a 36-space parking facility, together with
an undivided interest in the common elements appurtenant thereto, in the condominium known as The 163 Washington Condominiums,
located at 163 Washington Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. The seller of the property was 163 Washington Avenue, LLC. The seller does
not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company and the seller
entered into a joint venture in which the seller retained a 2.07% minority ownership interest in the property. In addition, the
seller will continue to provide property management services for the property.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The contract purchase price of the property was approximately
$31.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with (i) proceeds from its ongoing initial public
offering in the amount of $17.5 million and (ii) a drawdown of $14.0 million on its $40.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit
facility with Capital One, National Association. The Company may seek to obtain financing on the property post-closing. However,
there is no guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms it believes are favorable, if at all.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The 50 rental units contain 41,613 rentable square feet and
include 49 residential rental units and one commercial unit leased to a day care company. In addition, the property contains a
36-space parking facility and 20 storage units.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As of the date of this filing, the 50 rental units are 80.2%
leased. The aggregate annualized straight line rental income for the occupied units, which represents the contractual rent adjusted
to reflect any contractual tenant concessions including free rent, is approximately $40,000 per unit and the average monthly base
rent, calculated as the monthly base rent divided by the number of occupied units, is approximately $3,000 per unit.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The commercial unit is leased to a day care company for a period
of 10 years which will commence upon the completion of certain conditions. The annualized straight line rental income will be approximately
$47,000. The lease contains 3% annual rental increases and has two five-year lease extension options. Due to zoning restrictions,
the unit may only be leased to an educational or healthcare-related tenant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The 36-space parking facility is currently under a two year
master lease with the seller of the property. The annualized straight line rental income under the master lease is $0.2 million.</P>

Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On September 7, 2012, the Company drew an additional $14.0 million
on its existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility with Capital One, National Association. This funding was collateralized
by The 163 Washington Condominiums. The terms of the revolving credit facility are set forth in the Company&rsquo;s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2012 and the credit agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.42 to the Company&rsquo;s Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The description of the revolving credit facility in this Current Report on Form
8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the credit agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.</P>

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 7, 2012, American Realty Capital New York Recovery
REIT, Inc. (the "Company"), through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, closed the acquisition
of the fee simple interest in a condominium building which contains 50 rental units and a 36-space parking facility, together with
an undivided interest in the common elements appurtenant thereto, in the condominium known as The 163 Washington Condominiums,
located at 163 Washington Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. The seller of the property was 163 Washington Avenue, LLC. The seller does
not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.
Upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company and the seller
entered into a joint venture in which the seller retained a 2.07% minority ownership interest in the property. In addition, the
seller will continue to provide property management services for the property.
The contract purchase price of the property was approximately
$31.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with (i) proceeds from its ongoing initial public
offering in the amount of $17.5 million and (ii) a drawdown of $14.0 million on its $40.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit
facility with Capital One, National Association. The Company may seek to obtain financing on the property post-closing. However,
there is no guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms it believes are favorable, if at all.
The 50 rental units contain 41,613 rentable square feet and
include 49 residential rental units and one commercial unit leased to a day care company. In addition, the property contains a
36-space parking facility and 20 storage units.
As of the date of this filing, the 50 rental units are 80.2%
leased. The aggregate annualized straight line rental income for the occupied units, which represents the contractual rent adjusted
to reflect any contractual tenant concessions including free rent, is approximately $40,000 per unit and the average monthly base
rent, calculated as the monthly base rent divided by the number of occupied units, is approximately $3,000 per unit.
The commercial unit is leased to a day care company for a period
of 10 years which will commence upon the completion of certain conditions. The annualized straight line rental income will be approximately
$47,000. The lease contains 3% annual rental increases and has two five-year lease extension options. Due to zoning restrictions,
the unit may only be leased to an educational or healthcare-related tenant.
The 36-space parking facility is currently under a two year
master lease with the seller of the property. The annualized straight line rental income under the master lease is $0.2 million.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On September 7, 2012, the Company drew an additional $14.0 million
on its existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility with Capital One, National Association. This funding was collateralized
by The 163 Washington Condominiums. The terms of the revolving credit facility are set forth in the Company's Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2012 and the credit agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.42 to the Company's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The description of the revolving credit facility in this Current Report on Form
8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the credit agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
