The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit attached hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
 
July 2010 Distributions
 
With the authorization of its board of directors, Hines REIT declared distributions for the month of July 2010. These distributions will be calculated based on shareholders of record each day during the month of July 2010 in an amount equal to $0.00138082 per share, per day and will be paid in October 2010 in cash or reinvested in stock for those participating in Hines REIT's dividend reinvestment plan.

(d) Exhibits-
 
99.1 Stockholder Communication, dated June 30, 2010
 
 
 
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to items such as the timing of payment of distributions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements include the risks associated with Hines REIT's ability to generate cash flow sufficient to fund distributions and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of Hines REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-11, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
