<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On November 8, 2012, American Realty Capital New York Recovery
REIT, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), through its sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale
agreement to acquire the fee simple interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 229 West 36<SUP>th</SUP> Street
in Midtown Manhattan. The seller of the property is 229 W. 36<SUP>th</SUP> Street Partnership LP. The seller does not have a material
relationship with the Company and the acquisition is 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">Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the
Company&rsquo;s obligation to close upon the acquisition is subject to certain conditions customary to closing. Although the Company
believes that the acquisition of the property is probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated.
The purchase and sale agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the seller.</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 is $65.0 million,
exclusive of closing costs. The Company intends to fund the purchase price with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering.
The Company may seek financing on the property at or post-closing from a lender yet to be identified. There is no assurance that
the Company will be able to secure financing on terms that it deems favorable or 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 property contains approximately 149,000 rentable square
feet and is 100% leased to seven tenants. Approximately 70.1% of the property is occupied by three tenants: American Language Communication
Center, Inc.; Early Bird Delivery Systems, LLC; and Spectaguard Acquisitions, LLC.</P>
