US Cellular Building
On February 25, 2013, Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates (“Fund VIII-IX Associates”), a joint venture partnership between Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. (the “Registrant”) and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. entered into an agreement to sell a four-story, multi-tenant office building containing approximately 102,000 rentable square feet and located in Madison, Wisconsin (the “US Cellular Building”) to Fulcrum Asset Advisors, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, for a gross sales price of $8,175,000, exclusive of adjustments and closing costs, (the “Agreement”). As of February 25, 2013, the inspection period has expired and the earnest money deposit of $400,000 paid by the buyer has become non-refundable pursuant to the Agreement.

The Registrant holds an equity interest of approximately 54.8% in Fund VIII-IX Associates, which owns 100% of the US Cellular Building.
