Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On November 21, 2016, First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company engaged MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of November 21, 2016. The decision to appoint MaloneBailey and dismiss Marcum was subsequently approved by the independent directors of the board of directors of the Company.

Marcum has not issued any audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the subsequent interim period through November 21, 2016, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except there existed a difference of opinion, based on preliminary information, between the Company and Marcum as it relates to the accounting treatment of the transaction entered into on September 15, 2015, by the Company, the Company’s sponsor, advisor, property manager, the Company’s former chairman and chief executive officer and certain other affiliated entities, with Suneet Singal, the Company’s current chairman and chief executive officer, First Capital Real Estate Investments, LLC and certain other affiliated entities, which transaction is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 21, 2015. The difference of opinion was not resolved with Marcum prior to their dismissal by the Company. Marcum was not engaged to audit the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing statements and has requested and received from Marcum a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Marcum agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from Marcum is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

During the most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period through November 21, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company consulted MaloneBailey regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
