Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 18, 2005, CRT Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 18, 2005. The Proxy Statement contains the unanimous recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors FOR Proposal No. 2 relating to the reincorporation of the Company from Florida to Maryland. The Proxy Statement provides a detailed comparison of Florida and Maryland law, including (on pages 34-35) those laws relating to business combinations with interested shareholders. In this regard, if the reincorporation merger is approved by shareholders and consummated, the Company has undertaken to opt out of the provisions of Section 3-602 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, which otherwise would impose significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to effect a business combinations with an interested shareholder, so long as the transaction is first approved by a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

The Proxy Statement also contains the unanimous recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors FOR Proposal No. 3 relating to the 2005 Employee Stock Investment Plan (the “ESIP”). A complete copy of the proposed form of ESIP is attached to the Proxy Statement as Appendix D. As of April 28, 2005, the form of ESIP has been amended to provide that a maximum of 300,000 shares may be issued under the plan.
