INDUSTRIAL INCOME TRUST INC.

SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 DATED MARCH 31, 2010

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 18, 2009

This prospectus supplement (“Supplement”) is part of and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus of Industrial Income Trust Inc., dated December 18, 2009 (the “Prospectus”) and Supplement No. 1, dated February 12, 2010. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus.

The purposes of this Supplement are as follows:

A. To provide an update on the status of our initial public offering; and

B. To update disclosure in the section of the Prospectus titled “Management”.

A. Status of Our Initial Public Offering

As of March 31, 2010, we had raised sufficient offering proceeds to satisfy the minimum offering requirements for our initial public offering with respect to all states other than Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Accordingly, the offering proceeds received from stockholders (other than proceeds received from residents of the states of Pennsylvania and Tennessee) will be released from escrow on March 31, 2010 and we will commence operations.

As previously disclosed, because the minimum offering requirements were met on or before March 31, 2010, our board of directors has authorized us to pay a quarterly cash distribution of $0.15625 per share of common stock for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2010 to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of such quarter (the “Second Quarter Distributions”). The Second Quarter Distributions will be calculated based on the number of days each stockholder has been a stockholder of record. Some or all of these distributions may be paid by us from sources other than cash flow from operations, such as cash flows from financing activities, which may include borrowings, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, and proceeds of the offering; provided that proceeds from the offering may be used only for a period of up to one year after we meet the minimum offering requirements. Distributions for stockholders participating in our Distribution Reinvestment Plan will be reinvested into shares of our common stock.

B. Updates to the Management Section
