Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 3, 2005, two subsidiaries of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., our operating partnership, terminated share purchase agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of two German entities which together own IBM Technology Park, an approximately 80 acre technical campus located near Mainz, Germany containing 11 buildings with a total of approximately 1.5 million net rentable square feet. The termination was based upon the seller’s failure to meet certain closing conditions and other matters discovered during post-signing due diligence.

The terminated share purchase agreements provided for an aggregate purchase price, excluding expenses, for 100% of the shares in the two entities of approximately 77.4 million euros, including assumption of liabilities totaling approximately 62.0 million euros. Under certain circumstances, the seller would also have been entitled to additional payments based upon new leases of currently vacant space.

We currently intend to continue discussions with the owners of IBM Technology Park with respect to a potential transaction under new transaction documents; however, no assurances can be given that we will enter into any agreement to acquire IBM Technology Park or that any such agreement will close.
