Item 2.05                      Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On July 25, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GTJ REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) voted to divest the Company of substantially all of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (the “Operating Companies”).  It is expected the divestiture of the Operating Companies will take the form of a sale as a going concern and/or, as appropriate, an orderly liquidation of assets, in order to maximize their value.  The Company is presently evaluating the status of its parking garage operations, and will make a determination as to their status in the near future.  It is expected that this divestiture will be substantially complete within 3-6 months.  Following the divestiture of the Operating Companies, the Company will continue to focus on its real estate operations.

At present, the Company is not able to make a determination of the estimated amount or range of amounts to be incurred for each major type of cost or future cash expenditures associated with this divestiture.  The Company will undertake to file an amendment to this Report on Form 8-K after its makes a determination of such amounts.
