Item 8.01 Other Events

Developments Relating to Our First Quarter Redemptions

Under the share redemption program (the “Program”) currently in effect, Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. (the “Company”) presently limits the number of shares of common stock of the company to be redeemed in any calendar quarter to the lesser of (i) 1/4th of 5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the date that is twelve months prior to the end of such calendar quarter or (ii) the number of shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP Plan”) in the immediately preceding quarter (the “Redemption Cap”). In calculating the Redemption Cap, pursuant to the terms of the plan, the Company will include any shares redeemed in excess of the prior quarter’s Redemption Cap as a result of the death or disability of a stockholder.

The Redemption Cap applicable to redemption requests in the first quarter of 2010 is approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock (the “First Quarter Redemption Cap”). Through March 16, 2010 (the “Deadline”), the last day for first quarter 2010 redemption requests to be submitted under the Program, the Company had received requests to redeem approximately 7.7 million shares of common stock (the “Total First Quarter Redemption Requests”). Based on application of the First Quarter Redemption Cap, the Company expects that requesting shareholders whose requests were received on or before the Deadline will be redeemed pro rata.

As a result, the Company expects to redeem, for the first quarter of 2010, approximately 14% (the “Pro Rata Percentage”) of the shares each shareholder requested to be redeemed on or before the Deadline, subject to the terms and conditions of the Program. A copy of the Program was included as an exhibit to Form 8-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2009, and is also available on the Company’s web site at www.totalrealtytrust.com. In accordance with the Program, any portion of a redemption request of a shareholder that is not honored will be deemed automatically withdrawn, and any such shareholder may resubmit a request in a subsequent quarter (subject to the Redemption Cap noted above and all other terms and conditions of the Program). The Company will not retain redemption requests that are not honored.

The Total First Quarter Redemption Requests and Pro Rata Percentage are preliminary figures that are subject to change, which may be more likely or more significant this quarter as a result of the Company’s recent change in transfer agents. Under the Program, redemption requests may be withdrawn at any time up to three business days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. As a result, any shareholder that wishes to withdraw a first quarter 2010 redemption request must submit a written withdrawal on or before March 28, 2010. In addition, any shareholder who has requested redemption and is a participant in the DRIP Plan will remain a participant in the DRIP Plan unless the Company receives written notice terminating the shareholder’s participation, which for purposes of the Company’s first quarter 2010 distribution must be received on or before March 31, 2010. Any shareholder that wishes to withdraw a redemption request or terminate their participation in the DRIP Plan should submit the same in writing to:

Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust, Inc.

C/O Boston Financial Data Services, Inc.

30 Dan Road

Canton, MA 02021-2809.
