On August 8, 2008, we were dismissed. We have read DCT Industrial Trust Inc.’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated August 8, 2008, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with DCT Industrial Trust Inc.’s statement that Ernst & Young LLP was not consulted regarding the application of accounting principles to any completed or proposed transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on DCT Industrial Trust Inc.’s consolidated financial statements.

Very truly yours,
