Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 20, 2017, Sandstone Creek, LLC (the "Seller"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. ("PAC-OP"), completed the disposition of a fee simple interest in a 364-unit multifamily community in Kansas City, KS ("Sandstone Creek") to DRA FUND IX, LLC (the "Purchaser"), an unrelated third party. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser to Seller was $48.1 million, exclusive of acquisition-related transaction costs. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is the general partner of, and as of September 30, 2016, owner of an approximate 96.5% interest in, PAC-OP.

Since the results of operations for Sandstone Creek exceeded 10% of the consolidated net loss reported by the Company for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, Sandstone Creek is deemed to be a significant disposition under the income test from Regulation S-X 1-02(w). The Company therefore submits this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain financial information related to its disposition of Sandstone Creek required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet includes three columns.  The first column labeled "PAC REIT Historical" represents the actual financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2016.  The second column, entitled "Disposition of Sandstone Creek" represents the pro forma adjustments required in order to reflect the balance sheet impact of the removal of the disposed assets as if the transaction had occurred on September 30, 2016, as described in note 2. The third column, entitled "PAC REIT Pro Forma" presents the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2016, excluding Sandstone Creek.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations include three columns. The first column labeled "PAC REIT Historical" represents the actual results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. The second column, entitled "Disposition of Sandstone Creek" represents the adjustments to remove the historical revenues and expenses of Sandstone Creek for the periods presented, as described in note 3. The third column, entitled "PAC REIT pro forma" presents the pro forma results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, excluding Sandstone Creek.

The results presented on the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations assume the sale of Sandstone Creek closed on January 1, 2015 and present pro forma operating results for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.
