Item 8.01 Other Events.

In April 2012, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., through its operating partnership subsidiary, BioMed Realty, L.P., completed the sale of its property located at 530-540 Forbes Boulevard in South San Francisco, California (the “Forbes Boulevard Property”). As a result, pursuant to ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations,” BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. are re-issuing their consolidated financial statements included in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Form 10-K”), and the accompanying selected financial data, to reflect the classification of the Forbes Boulevard Property as discontinued operations. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. are also re-issuing the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that accompanied those consolidated financial statements. These reclassification adjustments have no effect on BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.'s and BioMed Realty, L.P.'s reported net income or funds from operations available to common shares and units.

This report updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 (Exhibit 12) and Schedule III of the 2011 Form 10-K, including the financial statements therein, to reflect the application of ASC 205-20 and classification of the Forbes Boulevard Property as discontinued operations.
