•

the availability of credit generally, and any failure to refinance or extend our debt as it comes due or a failure to satisfy the conditions and requirements of that debt;

PART I

Item 1.    Business.

Organization

        Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. (which may be referred to as the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") was incorporated in November 2004 as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes.

        We operate commercial real estate or real estate-related assets located in and outside the United States on an opportunistic basis. In particular, we have focused on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, or those located in markets and submarkets with higher volatility, lower barriers to entry, and high growth potential. As of December 31, 2012, we wholly owned six properties and consolidated four properties through investments in joint ventures, including one classified as asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. In addition, we have a noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in an investment in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that are accounted for using the equity method. We have entered our disposition phase and are currently considering liquidity options for our stockholders. Therefore, we are not actively seeking to purchase additional properties. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio. Our investment properties are located in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, London, England, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.

        Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP, a Texas limited partnership organized in November 2004 ("Behringer Harvard OP I"), or subsidiaries thereof. Our wholly owned subsidiary, BHO, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owns less than a 0.1% interest in Behringer Harvard OP I as its sole general partner. The remaining interest of Behringer Harvard OP I is held as a limited partnership interest by our wholly owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust, a Maryland business trust.

        We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, LLC, a Texas limited liability company formed in June 2007 ("Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I" or the "Advisor"). Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions, dispositions and investments on our behalf.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings—Frisco Debtors

        On June 13, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), the special purpose entity Behringer Harvard Frisco Square, LP, along with our indirect subsidiaries BHFS I, LLC, BHFS II, LLC, BHFS III, LLC, BHFS IV, LLC and BHFS Theater, LLC (collectively, the "Frisco Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions

4

for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 Cases pertain only to the Frisco Debtors, neither the Company nor any of its other wholly owned subsidiaries or joint ventures, either consolidated or unconsolidated, have sought such protection.

        The Frisco Debtors operated as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Joint Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the, "Reorganization Plan") which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy court entered on December 20, 2012. Under the Reorganization Plan, all debts owed to creditors remain intact: some due immediately and some due over time. On December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors modified and extended their mortgage debt for five years. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on December 27, 2012, new equity interests were issued and as a result, the reorganized Frisco Debtors wholly own the Frisco Square property. On January 2, 2013 the Bankruptcy Court issued an order declaring the Reorganization Plan effective.

Public Offering of Common Stock; Use of Proceeds

        In September 2005, we commenced a public offering (the "Offering") of shares of our common stock pursuant to which we offered 53,270,000 shares at a price of $10 per share in our primary offering and 965,331 shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share in our distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP").

        On December 28, 2007, we terminated the primary component of the Offering. We had earlier terminated the DRP on November 16, 2007. Aggregate gross offering proceeds from the Offering totaled approximately $538.7 million and net offering proceeds after selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and offering expenses totaled approximately $481.8 million. We used the net proceeds from the Offering primarily to acquire commercial properties, such as office buildings, multifamily properties, hospitality, recreation and leisure properties, and mixed-use and other developments. As of December 31, 2012, we had invested substantially all of the net offering proceeds.

        On November 16, 2007, we commenced a second distribution reinvestment plan offering (the "Secondary DRP") of up to 6,315,790 shares of common stock at an initial price of $9.50 per share. Shares in the Secondary DRP were sold at $8.17 from July 26, 2009 through January 14, 2010; at $8.03 from January 15, 2010 through January 13, 2011; and $7.66 from January 14, 2011 through April 15, 2011 as a result of our board of directors announcing estimated per share values pursuant to our amended and restated policy for estimation of common stock value (the "Estimated Valuation Policy") of $8.17, $8.03, and $7.66 on June 22, 2009, January 8, 2010 and January 10, 2011, respectively. We terminated the Secondary DRP effective April 15, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, we had issued 3,374,198 shares under the Secondary DRP resulting in gross and net proceeds of $29.8 million. The proceeds raised in the Secondary DRP were used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, investment in real estate and real estate-related securities, payment of fees and other costs, repayment of debt, and funding for our share redemption program.

        As of December 31, 2012, we had issued 57,484,739 shares of our common stock, including 21,739 shares owned by Behringer Harvard Holdings, 940,387 shares issued pursuant to the DRP, and 3,374,198 shares issued pursuant to the Secondary DRP. As of December 31, 2012, we had redeemed 984,267 shares of our common stock and had 56,500,472 shares of our common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2012, we had 1,000 shares of non-participating, non-voting convertible stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

        Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange.

Investment Objectives

        Our investment policies were designed in order that we may make investments that are consistent with our focus on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation. We have acquired a wide variety of properties located in the U.S. and in other countries, including office, retail, hospitality, recreation and leisure, multifamily and other properties. We have purchased existing and newly constructed properties and properties under development or construction, including multifamily properties. We have entered our disposition phase and are currently considering liquidity options for our stockholders and are not actively seeking to purchase additional properties. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio. When making investment decisions, we followed rigorous acquisition criteria and closing conditions and reviewed other required documentation. These criteria were designed to assess and manage investment risks and support our basis for making investment decisions in the best interests of our stockholders.

        Our investment objectives are:

•

to realize growth in the value of our investments to enhance the value received upon our ultimate sale of such investments;

•

to preserve, protect, and return stockholders' capital contribution through our ultimate sale of our investments;

•

to grow net cash from operations such that cash is available for distributions to stockholders; and

•

to provide stockholders with a return of their investment by beginning the process of liquidation and distribution within three to six years after the termination of our primary offering. If we have not liquidated or listed the shares for trading on a national securities exchange by the sixth anniversary of the termination of our primary offering, we will make an orderly disposition of our assets and distribute the cash unless a majority of the board of directors and a majority of the independent directors extends such date.

        We have entered our disposition phase, however, we can provide no assurances as to when we will complete our liquidation.

Investment Policies

        We have primarily invested in quality commercial properties, such as office, retail, multifamily, industrial, hospitality, and recreation and leisure properties that were initially identified as opportunistic investments with significant possibilities for capital appreciation due to their property specific characteristics or their market characteristics. We have disposed of 11 of our original portfolio assets through December 31, 2012. We intend to hold the real properties in which we have invested until such time as sale or other disposition appears advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met. Economic or market conditions may influence us to hold our investments for different periods of time.

        Our real estate investments are held in fee title or a long-term leasehold estate through Behringer Harvard OP I or indirectly through limited liability companies or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with the developers of the properties, affiliates of Behringer Opportunity Advisors I or other persons.

Borrowing Policies

        There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of the Company's "net

6

assets" (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our board of directors. In addition to our charter limitation and indebtedness target, our board has adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets, unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets. As a result, we may borrow more than 75% of the contract purchase price of a particular real estate asset we have acquired, to the extent the board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is reasonable. Our board of directors reviews the Company's aggregate borrowings at least quarterly. We believe that these borrowing limitations reduce risk of loss and are in the best interests of the Company's stockholders.

Disposition Policies

        As each of our investments reaches what we believe to be the asset's optimum value during the expected life of the program, we will consider disposing of the investment and may do so for the purpose of distributing the net sale proceeds to our stockholders, investing the proceeds in other assets that we believe may produce a higher overall future return to our investors or satisfying obligations of the Company. We originally anticipated that any such investment disposition typically would occur during the period from three to six years after termination of our initial public primary offering. Economic or market conditions have and may, however, resulted in longer holding periods for some assets. A property may be sold before the end of the expected holding period if, in the judgement of our board of directors, based upon the recommendation of our Advisor, the value of the property might decline substantially, an opportunity has arisen to improve other properties, we can increase cash flow through the disposition of the property or the sale of the property is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Tax Status

        We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and believe that we have qualified as a REIT since the year ended December 31, 2006. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level (except for the operations of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Behringer Harvard Cordillera Residences, Inc., which provides management and development services to The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera), to the extent that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders on an annual basis. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we also will be disqualified for taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we lose our qualification. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Competition

        We are subject to significant competition in seeking tenants for the leasing of our properties. In addition, as we seek to dispose of properties, we suffer from a lack of demand for certain asset types such as land and development properties. We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities, including other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, hedge funds, governmental bodies, and other entities. We also face competition from other real estate investment programs, including other Behringer Harvard programs, for buyers and tenants that may be suitable for us. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have and may have substantially more operating experience than either us

7

or Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I. They also may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital.

Regulations

        Our investments are subject to various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations (including those of foreign jurisdictions), including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution, and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

Environmental

        As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies, new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be acquired directly or indirectly in the future.

Distribution Policies

        Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, based on our analysis of earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, cash on hand, and general financial condition. The board's discretion will be influenced, in substantial part, by its obligation to cause the Company to comply with the REIT requirements. Because we receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year, distributions may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period, but may be paid in anticipation of cash flow that we expect to receive during a later period or of receiving funds. Moreover, distributions to date have exceeded net cash flow from operating activities. Many of the factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to stockholders are beyond our control, and a change in any one factor could adversely affect our ability to pay future distributions. In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors determined to cease regular quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available from asset sales.

Significant Tenants

        As of December 31, 2012 we had two leases that accounted for 10% or more of our aggregate rental revenues from our consolidated properties. A tenant at our Northborough Tower office building accounted for $5.8 million , or 22% of our aggregate rental revenue. The lease expires April 30, 2018. See "Item 2. Properties" for additional information on this lease.

        The following table presents information about our significant tenant lease as of December 31, 2012 ($ in thousands):

					% of Portfolio Rentable Sq. Ft. Leased			Annualized Base Rent Statistics
Tenant	Property	Tenant Industry	Square Feet					Annualized Base Rent(1) (in thousands)		% of Portfolio Annualized Base Rent			Annualized Base Rent per Square Foot		Lease Expiration(2)
Noble Energy, Inc.	Northborough Tower	Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction		204,779		27	%	$	5,836		34	%	$	28.50		04/30/2018

⁽¹⁾

Annualized Base Rent represents contractual base rental income without consideration of tenant contraction or termination rights. Tenant reimbursements generally include payment of real estate taxes, operating expenses, and common area maintenance and utility charges.

⁽²⁾

There are no extensions available under the lease. The lease does not have an early termination provision.

8

        Additionally, as of December 31, 2012, we have a hotel operator lease with Kingsdell, L.P., for our Chase Park Plaza Hotel, which accounted for $7.4 million, or 27% of our aggregate rental revenue. As a REIT, we are prohibited from directly engaging in certain non-real estate operations. Operating hotels generally fall into this category. Accordingly, operating leases similar to ours and Kingsdell, L.P. commonly exist between a REIT and the operator of a hotel property. At the Chase Park Plaza Hotel, the investment's success primarily depends on the hotel visitor occupancy and room rental rates. Due to the availability of other hotel operators in the marketplace, we do not believe we are substantially dependent on this lease. On February 19, 2013 we terminated the Kingsdell, L.P. hotel operator lease and we have formed a wholly-owned entity owned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries to lease the hotel from the Company.

Employees

        We have no employees. The Advisor and other affiliates of Behringer Harvard Holdings perform a full range of real estate services for us, including acquisitions, dispositions, property management, accounting, legal, asset management and investor relations services.

        We are dependent on affiliates of Behringer Harvard Holdings for services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition decisions, property management, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies were unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to provide such services ourselves or obtain such services from other sources.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

        Our current business consists of owning, managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets. We internally evaluate all of our real estate assets as one industry segment, and, accordingly, we do not report segment information.

Available Information

        We electronically file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the SEC. We also have filed with the SEC registration statements in connection with the offerings of our common stock. Copies of our filings with the SEC may be obtained from our website atwww.behringerharvard.com or at the SEC's website atwww.sec.gov. Access to these filings is free of charge. We are not incorporating our website or any information from the website into this Form 10-K.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

        The factors described below represent the principal risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements. Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate. Our stockholders may be referred to as "you" or "your" in this Item 1A, "Risk Factors" section.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

If we set aside insufficient working capital reserves, we may be required to defer necessary property improvements.

        If we do not estimate sufficient reserves for working capital to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property, and there is insufficient cash available from our operations, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to the property that may cause the property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a

9

greater risk of decreased cash flow as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property. If this happens, we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for affected properties, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

Recent market disruptions may adversely impact aspects of our operating results and operating condition.

        During 2011, the major credit agencies downgraded or placed under review the credit rating for debt issued by the U.S. government and U.S. agencies, due in part to the political uncertainties over U.S. debt limits. Congress subsequently enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in an attempt to eliminate the so called "fiscal cliff" in January 2013. However, there is continuing political deadlock in the U.S. regarding the "debt ceiling" and there continues to be a perceived risk of future sovereign credit ratings downgrade of the U.S. government, including the ratings of the U.S. Treasury securities. Failure of Congress to raise the "debt ceiling" and/or a downgrade of U.S. sovereign credit ratings could negatively impact the credit ratings of instruments issued, insured or guaranteed by institutions, agencies or instrumentalities directly linked to the U.S. government, such as debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There is some risk that higher-risk European countries could face pressure over proposed austerity measures or levels of sovereign borrowings. The European debt crisis continues to create uncertainties for the overall market. These recent events may reduce investor confidence and lead to further weakening of the U.S. and global economies. In particular, this could cause disruption in the capital markets and impact the stability of future U.S. treasury auctions and the trading market for U.S. government securities, resulting in increased interest rates and borrowing costs and less availability of credit.

        Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. and global economies. These conditions may materially affect the value and performance of our properties, and may affect our ability to pay distributions, the availability or the terms of financing that we have or may anticipate utilizing, and our ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance, any outstanding debt when due. These challenging economic conditions may also impact the ability of certain of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Specifically, recent global market disruptions may have many consequences including, but not limited to, these listed below:

•

the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected, which may result in us having to increase concessions, reduce rental rates or make capital improvements beyond those contemplated at the time we acquired the properties in order to maintain occupancy levels or to negotiate for reduced space needs, which may result in a decrease in our occupancy levels;

•

significant job losses have occurred and may continue to occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, our multifamily communities and our hospitality properties and result in lower occupancy levels, which will result in decreased revenues and which could diminish the value of our properties, which depend, in part, upon the cash flow generated by our properties;

•

an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases and ultimately could preclude collection of these sums;

•

credit spreads for major sources of capital may continue to widen as investors demand higher risk premiums, resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing;

•

our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow;

•

a further reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, slow real estate transaction activity,

10

reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend, and result in difficulty refinancing our debt;

•

the value of certain of our properties may have decreased below the amounts we paid for them, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

•

one or more counterparties to our derivative financial instruments could default on their obligations to us, or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments; and

•

the value and liquidity of our short-term investments could be reduced as a result of the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors.

Disruptions in the financial markets and adverse economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and affect the value of our investments.

        The commercial real estate debt markets continue to experience volatility as a result of certain factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies and the significant inventory of unsold collateralized mortgage backed securities in the market. Credit spreads for major sources of capital have widened significantly as investors have demanded a higher risk premium. This is resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing. An increase in the overall cost of borrowings, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow. In addition, the recent dislocations in the debt markets have reduced the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (1) leads to a decline in real estate values generally; (2) slows real estate transaction activity; (3) reduces the loan to value upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and (4) results in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due. If the current debt market environment persists, it may be difficult for us to refinance our debt coming due in 2013 related to several of our portfolio assets and our senior secured credit facility.

        Further, the recent market volatility will likely make the valuation of our investment properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, and we may be required to recognize impairment charges, which will reduce our reported earnings. Specifically, for the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $7.3 million non-cash impairment charges related to Rio Salado and additionally during 2012, we recorded a $11.7 million and $0.4 million non-cash impairment charge related to our condominium inventory for The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera and Chase—The Private Residences, respectively. Our Central Europe joint venture recorded impairment charges of $5.8 to bring certain assets to their fair value. The Company's portion of the impairment was $2.7 million, which was recorded in the Company's statement of operations through equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item. Furthermore, we recorded $1.3 million impairment in discontinued operations related to the sale of Bent Tree Green.

We incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which increases our business risks.

        We are permitted to acquire, and historically have acquired, real properties by using either existing financing or borrowing new funds. In addition, we may incur or increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of our real properties to obtain funds for funding our ongoing operations. There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single improved property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of

11

our net assets as of the date of any borrowing. We may incur indebtedness in excess of the limit if the excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors.

        Our board of directors has adopted a policy that we will generally limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets, which is defined as our total assets plus acquired below-market lease intangibles, each as reflected on our balance sheet at the time of the calculation, without giving effect to any accumulated depreciation or amortization attributable to our real estate assets, unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests and a majority of our independent directors approve the greater borrowing. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets. As a result, we typically borrow more than 75% of the purchase price of an individual real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is reasonable.

        We do not borrow money secured by a particular real property unless we believe the property's projected cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt. However, if there is a shortfall in cash flow, then the amount available to fund our ongoing operations may be affected. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of (1) loss in investment value is generally borne entirely by the borrower until such time as the investment value declines below the principal balance of the associated debt and (2) defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and our loss of the property securing the loan that is in default. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one real property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to refinance our properties, which could reduce the amount of cash distributions we can make.

        When we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the loans come due, or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when the properties are refinanced, we may not be able to finance the properties at reasonable rates and our income could be reduced. If this occurs, it would reduce cash available for distribution from asset sales to our stockholders, and it may prevent us from borrowing more money.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

        In connection with obtaining financing, a lender could impose restrictions on us that affect our ability to incur additional debt and our distribution and operating policies. Loan documents we enter into may contain customary negative covenants that may limit our ability to further mortgage the property, discontinue insurance coverage or replace Behringer Opportunity Advisors I as our advisor or may impose other limitations. Any such restriction or limitation may have an adverse effect on our operations.

12

Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available to return to our stockholders.

        We have financed some of our property acquisitions using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will be less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or "balloon" payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. If the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates. Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments will reduce the funds available to return to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for distribution will be required to pay principal and interest associated with these mortgage loans.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect funds available to return to our stockholders.

        We have borrowed money that bears interest at a variable rate. In addition, from time to time we may pay mortgage loans or refinance our properties in a rising interest rate environment. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and our ability to make distributions to you. In addition, if rising interest rates cause us to need additional capital to repay indebtedness in accordance with its terms or otherwise, we may be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on the investments. Prolonged interest rate increases also negatively impact our ability to make investments with positive economic returns.

Financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations may adversely affect funds available to return to our stockholders.

        Some of our financing arrangements will require us to make a lump-sum or balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT and/or avoid federal income tax. Any of these results would have a significant, negative impact on your investment.

From time to time, we may rely on financial institutions for debt financing and, as a result, may be adversely affected by the failure of a financial institution to honor its lending obligations.

        From time to time, we may rely on financial institutions for financing acquisitions, for financing development projects in which we invest, for funding credit facilities used for general corporate purposes or for other funding needs. As a result of the recent and continuing economic slowdown and financial market disruptions, certain financial institutions have become insolvent or been served with cease and desist orders or other administrative actions by federal bank regulators due to a lack of required capital. While not presently an issue for us, some of these financial institutions may become insolvent, enter into receivership or otherwise become unable to fulfill or be prevented from fulfilling their respective financial obligations to their borrowers. Should a financial institution on which we rely

13

fail to meet its funding obligations to us or to an entity in which we have invested, our liquidity or the liquidity of the entity in which we have invested could be materially adversely affected, we could become unable to take advantage of acquisition opportunities and we could suffer losses on development projects or other investments that require additional capital. Furthermore, if the loan is made to an entity in which we have invested, such as a development project, and we and our affiliates are not parties to the loan, we will be unable to take direct action against the financial institution to compel it to honor its financial obligations. In addition, if a financial institution on which we rely becomes insolvent or enters into receivership, or if other regulatory action is taken against it, we may not be able to enforce any contractual rights we would otherwise have against it.

We are uncertain of our sources for funding of future capital needs, which could adversely affect the value of our investments.

        We completed our primary offering of shares in December 2007 and on March 28, 2011, our board of directors determined to terminate the Secondary DRP. Our ability to fund future property capital needs, such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures, will depend on our ability to borrow, sell assets or interests in assets or to generate additional cash flows from operations. We will establish capital reserves on a property-by-property basis, as we deem appropriate. In addition to any reserves we establish, a lender may require escrow of capital reserves in excess of our established reserves. If these reserves are insufficient to meet our cash needs, we may have to obtain financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated sources to fund our cash requirements. Accordingly, in the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future for the improvement of our properties or for any other reason, we have not identified any sources for such funding, and we cannot assure you that such sources of funding will be available to us for potential capital needs in the future.

We have experienced aggregate net losses attributable to our stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and we may experience future losses.

        We had net losses attributable to our stockholders of approximately $52.8 million, $88.6 million and $61.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. If we continue to incur net losses in the future or such losses increase, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and make distributions to our stockholders will be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to additional risks due to our international investments.

        We have purchased real estate assets located outside the United States and have made mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans or participations in mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans made by a borrower located outside the United States or secured by property located outside the United States. These investments may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the borrower or the property is located. These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the United States.

        Foreign investments could be subject to the following risks:

•

governmental laws, rules and policies, including laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property or mortgages and laws relating to the ability of foreign persons or corporations to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the person's or corporation's country of origin;

•

variations in currency exchange rates;

•

adverse market conditions caused by inflation or other changes in national or local economic conditions;

14

•

changes in relative interest rates;

•

changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying national economic policies;

•

changes in real estate and other tax rates, the tax treatment of transaction structures and other changes in operating expenses in a particular country where we invest;

•

our REIT tax status not being respected under foreign laws, in which case income or gains from foreign sources would likely be subject to foreign taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, and value added taxes;

•

lack of uniform accounting standards (including availability of information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles);

•

changes in land use and zoning laws;

•

more stringent environmental laws or changes in such laws;

•

changes in the social stability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments in or affecting a country where we have an investment;

•

we, our sponsor and its affiliates have relatively less experience with respect to investing in real property or other investments outside the United States as compared to domestic investments; and

•

legal and logistical barriers to enforcing our contractual rights.

        Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and the return to our stockholders.

Our revenue and net income may vary significantly from one period to another due to investments in opportunity-oriented properties, which could reduce the funds available to return to our stockholders.

        Our opportunistic property-acquisition strategy included investments in properties in various phases of development, redevelopment or repositioning, which may cause our revenues and net income to fluctuate significantly from one period to another. Projects do not produce revenue while in development or redevelopment. During any period when our projects in development or redevelopment or those with significant capital requirements increase without a corresponding increase in stable revenue-producing properties, our revenues and net income will likely decrease. Many factors may have a negative impact on the level of revenues or net income produced by our portfolio of properties and projects, including higher than expected construction costs, failure to complete projects on a timely basis, failure of the properties to perform at expected levels upon completion of development or redevelopment, and increased borrowings necessary to fund higher than expected construction or other costs related to the project.

Development projects in which we have invested may not be completed successfully, and guarantors of the projects may not have the financial resources to perform their obligations under the guaranties they provide.

        We have made equity investments in, acquired options to purchase interests in or made mezzanine loans to the owners of real estate development projects. Our return on these investments is dependent upon the projects being completed successfully. To help ensure performance by the developers of properties that are under construction, completion of these properties is generally guaranteed either by a completion bond or performance bond. Our Advisor may rely upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the entity entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. For a particular

15

investment, we may obtain guaranties that the project will be completed on time, on budget and in accordance with the plans and specifications and that the mezzanine loan will be repaid. However, we may not obtain such guaranties and cannot ensure that the guarantors will have the financial resources to perform their obligations under the guaranties they provide. If we are unable to manage these risks effectively, our results of operations, financial condition and ability to make distributions to you will be adversely affected.

Our operating results will be affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general, and we cannot assure you that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our real estate properties.

        Our operating results will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

•

changes in general economic or local conditions;

•

changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

•

changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

•

the illiquidity of real estate investments generally;

•

changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and

•

periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

        For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our real estate properties.

Properties that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return of your investment.

        A property may incur vacancies either by the continued default of tenants under their leases or the expiration of tenant leases. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in decreased distributions to stockholders. In addition, the value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

Many of our investments are dependent on tenants for revenue, and lease terminations could reduce our ability to fund our ongoing operations.

        The success of our real property investments often will be materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants. A default by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease and cause us to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property. If significant leases are terminated, we cannot assure you that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. Additionally, loans that we make generally will relate to real estate. As a result, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be dependent on the financial stability of the tenants leasing the related real estate.

16

We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant improvements, which could adversely impact our ability to fund our ongoing operations.

        When tenants do not renew their leases or otherwise vacate their space, in order to attract replacement tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to the vacated space. If we have insufficient capital reserves, we will have to obtain financing from other sources. We intend to establish capital reserves on a property-by-property basis, as we deem necessary. In addition to any reserves we establish, a lender may require escrow of capital reserves in excess of our established reserves. If these reserves or any reserves otherwise established are designated for other uses or are insufficient to meet our cash needs, we may have to obtain financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated sources to fund our cash requirements. We cannot assure you that sufficient financing will be available or, if available, will be available on economically feasible terms or on terms acceptable to us. Moreover, certain reserves required by lenders may be designated for specific uses and may not be available for capital purposes such as future tenant improvements. Additional borrowing for capital purposes will increase our interest expense, and therefore our financial condition and our ability to fund our ongoing operations may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so, which could adversely impact our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders.

        We intend to hold the various real properties in which we invest until such time as our Advisor determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met. Our Advisor, subject to approval of our board of directors, may exercise its discretion as to whether and when to sell a property, and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time, except upon our liquidation.

        The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any asset for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of an asset. If we are unable to sell an asset when we determine to do so, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.

Our co-venture partners could take actions that decrease the value of an investment to us and lower your overall return.

        We enter into joint ventures with third parties having investment objectives similar to ours for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties, as well as the acquisition of real estate-related investments. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other forms of real estate investment, including, for example:

•

the possibility that our co-venturer in an investment might become bankrupt;

•

the possibility that the investment requires additional capital that we do and/or our partner does not have; which lack of capital could affect the performance of the investment and/or dilute our interest if the partner were to contribute our share of the capital;

•

the possibility that a co-venturer in an investment might breach a loan agreement or other agreement or otherwise, by action or inaction, act in a way detrimental to us or the investment;

•

that such co-venturer may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent with our business interests or goals;

17

•

the possibility that we may incur liabilities as the result of the action taken by our partner or co-investor; or

•

that such co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT; or

•

that such partner may exercise buy/sell rights that force us to either acquire the entire investment, or dispose of our share, at a time and price that may not be consistent with our investment objectives.

        Any of the above might subject a property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our returns on that investment.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage may adversely affect your returns.

        Our Advisor will attempt to ensure that all of our properties are adequately insured to cover casualty losses. The nature of the activities at certain properties we may acquire will expose us and our operators to potential liability for personal injuries and, in certain instances, such as with marinas, property damage claims. For instance, marina business activities are customarily subject to various hazards, including gasoline or other fuel spills, fires, drownings and other water-related accidents, boat storage rack collapses and other dangers relatively common in the marina industry. In addition, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, pollution, environmental matters or extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods and snowstorms that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Mortgage lenders generally insist that specific coverage against terrorism be purchased by commercial property owners as a condition for providing mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans. It is uncertain whether such insurance policies will be available, or available at reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate coverage for such losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by the amount of any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than the capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in decreased distributions to stockholders.

Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and result in increased costs and risks, which could diminish the return on your investment.

        We have invested in the acquisition, development and/or redevelopment of properties upon which we will develop and construct improvements. We could incur substantial capital obligations in connection with these types of investments. We will be subject to risks relating to uncertainties associated with rezoning for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups and our builder's ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. The builder's failure to perform may necessitate legal action by us to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. Performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder's control. Delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases for space at a newly developed

18

project. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to such builders prior to completion of construction. These and other such factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. Substantial capital obligations could delay our ability to make distributions. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price to be paid for the property at the time of acquisition of the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and the return on our investment could suffer.

        In addition, we have invested in unimproved real property. Returns from development of unimproved properties are also subject to risks and uncertainties associated with rezoning the land for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups. Although our intention is to limit any investment in unimproved property to property we intend to develop, your investment nevertheless is subject to the risks associated with investments in unimproved real property.

A concentration of our investments in any one property class or geographic region may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn in such sector or geographic region.

        At any one time, a significant portion of our investments could be in one property class or concentrated in one or several geographic regions that are subject to higher risk of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2012, 60% of our base rent was derived from properties in Texas, 20% was derived from properties in Missouri, and 14% was derived from properties in Colorado. To the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic regions, types of assets, industries or business sectors, downturns relating generally to such region, type of asset, industry or business sector may result in defaults on a number of our investments within a short time period, which may reduce our net income and the value of our common stock and accordingly limit our ability to fund our operations.

The ongoing Eurozone crisis may have an adverse effect on investments in Europe and the break-up of the Eurozone, or the exit of any member state, would create uncertainty and could affect our investments directly.

        We own a joint venture interest in a portfolio of Central European properties located in Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. The ongoing situation relating to the sovereign debt and weak financial health of several countries and the overall European financial system, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Cyprus, together with the risk of contagion to other, more financially stable countries, has exacerbated the difficult global financial situation. The situation has also raised a number of uncertainties regarding the stability and overall standing of the European Monetary Union. Any further deterioration in the global or Eurozone economy could have a significant adverse effect on our activities and the value of our European portfolio.

        In addition, if we hold any assets that are denominated in Euros (including loans secured on such assets), such as assets in continental Europe, further deterioration in the Eurozone economy could have a material adverse effect on the value of our investment in such assets and amplify the currency risks faced by us.

        We risk losses for taxation on deposits held in Cyprus based upon the proposed bailout of the country's banks by the European Union. If the European Union requires other countries to tax deposits similarly in order to receive support, we risk additional losses for taxations on funds held in those countries.

        If any country were to leave the Eurozone, or if the Eurozone were to break up entirely, the treatment of debt obligations previously denominated in Euros is uncertain. A number of issues would be raised, such as whether obligations which are expressed to be payable in Euros would be re-denominated into a new currency. The answer to this and other questions is uncertain and would depend on the way in which the break-up occurred and also on the nature of the transaction: the law

19

governing it; which courts have jurisdiction in relation to it; the place of payment; and the place of incorporation of the payor. If we held any investments in Euros at the time of any Eurozone exits or break-up, this uncertainty and potential re-denomination could have a material adverse effect on the value of our investments and the income from them.

Short-term multifamily and apartment leases expose us to the effects of declining market rent, which could adversely impact our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders.

        We expect that substantially all of our apartment leases will be for a term of one year or less. Because these leases generally permit the residents to leave at the end of the lease term without penalty, our rental revenues may be impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms.

Our investments in apartment communities face competition from other apartment communities and the increased affordability of single-family homes, which may limit our profitability and returns to our stockholders.

        Our investments in apartment communities compete with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including other apartment communities and single-family homes, as well as owner-occupied single- and multifamily homes available to rent. Competitive housing in a particular area and the increasing affordability of owner occupied single- and multifamily homes available to rent or buy caused by declining mortgage interest rates and government programs to promote home ownership could adversely affect our ability to retain our residents, lease apartment units and increase or maintain rental rates.

        Moreover, the residential apartment community industry is highly competitive. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and revenues at our apartment communities, which would adversely affect our operations. We face competition from many sources, including from other apartment communities both in the immediate vicinity and the broader geographic market where our apartment communities are located. Overbuilding of apartment communities may occur. If so, this will increase the number of apartment units available and may decrease occupancy and apartment rental rates. In addition, increases in operating costs due to inflation may not be offset by increased apartment rental rates. We may be required to expend substantial sums to attract new residents.

In connection with the recent credit market disruptions and economic slowdown, our apartment investments may face increased competition from single-family homes and condominiums for rent, which could limit our ability to retain residents, lease apartment units or increase or maintain rents.

        Our apartment communities may compete with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including single-family homes and condominiums available for rent. Such competitive housing alternatives may become more prevalent in a particular area because of the tightening of mortgage lending underwriting criteria, homeowner foreclosures, the decline in single-family home and condominium sales and the lack of available credit. The number of single-family homes and condominiums for rent in a particular area could limit our ability to retain residents, lease apartment units or increase or maintain rents.

We are dependent on the third-party managers of our hotel properties.

        In order to qualify as a REIT, we will not be able to operate our hotel properties or participate in the decisions affecting the daily operations of our hotels. We lease our hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") in which we may own up to a 100% interest. Our TRS will enter into management agreements with eligible independent contractors that are not our subsidiaries or otherwise controlled

20

by us to manage the hotels. Thus, independent hotel operators, under management agreements with our TRS, will control the daily operations of our hotels.

        We will depend on these independent management companies to adequately operate our hotels as provided in the management agreements. We will not have the authority to require any hotel to be operated in a particular manner or to govern any particular aspect of the daily operations of any hotel (for instance, setting room rates). Thus, even if we believe our hotels are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory occupancy rates, revenue per available room and average daily rates, we may not be able to force the management company to change its method of operation of our hotels. We can only seek redress if a management company violates the terms of the applicable management agreement with the TRS, and then only to the extent of the remedies provided for under the terms of the management agreement. In the event that we need to replace any of our management companies, we may be required by the terms of the management agreement to pay substantial termination fees and may experience significant disruptions at the affected hotels.

We may have to make significant capital expenditures to maintain our lodging properties.

        Hotels have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment. Generally, we will be responsible for the costs of these capital improvements, which give rise to the following risks:

•

cost overruns and delays;

•

renovations can be disruptive to operations and can displace revenue at the hotels, including revenue lost while rooms under renovation are out of service;

•

the cost of funding renovations and the possibility that financing for these renovations may not be available on attractive terms; and

•

the risk that the return on our investment in these capital improvements will not be what we expect.

        If we have insufficient cash flow from operations to fund needed capital expenditures, then we will need to borrow to fund future capital improvements.

General economic conditions and discretionary consumer spending may affect certain properties we acquire and lower the return on your investment.

        The operations of certain properties in which we invest, such as hotels and recreation and leisure properties, will depend upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending. Unfavorable local, regional or national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects as a result of terrorist attacks, military activity or natural disasters could reduce consumer spending in the markets in which we own properties and adversely affect the operation of those properties. Consumer spending on luxury goods, travel and other leisure activities such as boating, skiing and health and spa activities may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in expenditures on luxury goods, travel and other leisure activities. Certain of the classes of properties that we acquire may be unable to maintain their profitability during periods of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence, which could in turn affect the ability of operators to make scheduled rent payments to us.

21

Seasonal revenue variations at our hotel properties require the operators of such assets to manage cash flow properly over time to meet their non-seasonal scheduled rent payments to us.

        Certain of our hotel properties are generally seasonal in nature. As a result, these businesses will experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement revenue at their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. The failure of our operators to manage their cash flow properly may result in such operator having insufficient cash on hand to make its scheduled payments to us during seasonally slow periods, which may adversely affect our cash available.

Adverse weather conditions may affect operations of certain of our properties or reduce our operators' ability to make scheduled rent payments to us, which could reduce our cash flow from such investments.

        Adverse weather conditions may influence revenues at certain types of properties we own, such as some hotels, resorts and recreation and leisure properties. These adverse weather conditions include heavy snowfall (or lack thereof), hurricanes, tropical storms, high winds, heat waves, frosts, drought (or merely reduced rainfall levels), excessive rain and floods. For example, adverse weather could reduce the number of people that visit our properties. Certain properties may be susceptible to damage from weather conditions such as hurricanes, which damage (including but not limited to property damage and loss of revenue) is not generally insurable at commercially reasonable rates. Poor weather conditions could also disrupt operations at properties we acquire and may adversely affect both the value of our investment in a property and the ability of our tenants and operators to make their scheduled rent payments to us.

Resorts, recreation and leisure, and other types of properties in which we invest may not be readily adaptable to other uses, and if these properties become unprofitable, we may not be able to recoup the value of our investment.

        Resorts and related properties, and other types of recreation and leisure properties in which we invest are specific-use properties that have limited alternative uses. Therefore, if the operations of any of our properties in these sectors become unprofitable due to industry competition, a general deterioration of the applicable industry or otherwise, we may have great difficulty selling the property or we may have to sell the property for substantially less than the amount we paid for it. Should any of these events occur, our income and cash available for distribution could be reduced.

The costs of compliance with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our income and the cash available for any distributions.

        All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners, or operators for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. In addition, the presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to use the property as collateral for future borrowing.

        Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. For example, various federal, regional, and state laws and regulations have been implemented or are under consideration to mitigate the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, "green" building codes may seek to reduce emissions through the impositions of standards for design,

22

construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management. We are not aware of any such existing requirements that we believe will have a material impact on our current operations. However, future requirements could increase the costs of maintaining or improving our existing properties or developing new properties.

Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.

        Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations (including those of foreign jurisdictions), a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to you.

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may affect cash available for distributions.

        Our properties are generally expected to be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Disabilities Act"). Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities" that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act's requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the Disabilities Act or place the burden on the seller or other third-party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with the Disabilities Act. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. If we cannot, our funds used for Disabilities Act compliance may affect cash available for distributions and the amount of distributions to you, if any.

If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser.

        When we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our reasonable best efforts to sell them for cash or property. However, in some instances we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser and will be subject to remedies provided by law, which could negatively impact our distributions to stockholders. There are no limitations or restrictions on our ability to take purchase money obligations. We may, therefore, take a purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage as part payment for the purchase price. The terms of payment to us generally will be affected by custom in the area where the property being sold is located and the then-prevailing economic conditions. If we receive promissory notes or other property in lieu of cash from property sales, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our stockholders will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property are

23

actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price, and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

If our sponsor, our Advisor or its affiliates waive certain fees due to them, our results of operations may be artificially high.

        From time to time, our sponsor, our Advisor or its affiliates may agree to waive or defer all or a portion of the acquisition, asset management or other fees, compensation or incentives due to them, pay general administrative expenses or otherwise supplement stockholder returns in order to increase the amount of cash available. In January 2011, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I deferred our obligation to pay asset management fees accrued or accruing since May 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 and debt financing fees and certain cost reimbursements accrued or accruing since July 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 in both cases until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as we have sufficient (1) net sales proceeds, (2) net refinancing proceeds, or (3) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable us to make payments thereon. Additionally, BH Property Management deferred our obligation to pay property management oversight fees accrued or accruing since July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as we have sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable us to make payments thereon. The deferred fees were fully repaid during 2012. If our sponsor, our Advisor or its affiliates choose to no longer waive or defer such fees and incentives, our cash flow or results of operations will be lower than in previous periods and your return on your investment could be negatively affected.

We have invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated real property and real estate-related securities, exposing us to fluctuating currency rates.

        We have purchased real estate and real estate-related securities denominated in foreign currencies. A change in foreign currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact on returns on our non-U.S. dollar denominated investments. Although we may hedge our foreign currency risk subject to the REIT income qualification tests, we may not be able to do so successfully and may incur losses on these investments as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

Our real estate-related investments are illiquid and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

        The mezzanine loans we made are particularly illiquid investments due to their short life, their unsuitability for securitization and the greater difficulty of recoupment in the event of a borrower's default. As a result, our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited.

Our mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of our mortgage investments.

        We will be at risk of defaults on our mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans caused by many conditions beyond our control, including local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values and interest rate levels. We do not know whether the values of the property securing the loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of the loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase and the values of our interests may decrease.

24

The mezzanine loans in which we invest involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing real properties.

        We have invested in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the real property or the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the real property. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income producing real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of the entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on our loan or on debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt is paid in full. Where debt senior to our loan exists, the presence of intercreditor arrangements may limit our ability to amend our loan documents, assign our loans, accept prepayments, exercise our remedies (through "standstill periods"), and control decisions made in bankruptcy proceedings relating to borrowers. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment, which could have a negative impact on our ability to make distributions.

Delays in liquidating defaulted mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans could reduce our investment returns.

        If there are defaults under our loans, we may not be able to repossess and sell quickly any properties securing such loans. The resulting time delay could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted loans. An action to foreclose on a property securing a loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the loan.

Foreclosures create additional ownership risks that could adversely impact our returns on mortgage investments.

        If we acquire property by foreclosure following defaults under our mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans, we will have the economic and liability risks as the owner.

The liquidation of our assets may be delayed, which could delay distributions to our stockholders.

        Any intended liquidation of us may be delayed beyond the time of the sale of all of our properties until all mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans expire or are sold, because we may enter into mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans with terms that expire after the date we intend to have sold all of our properties.

Our due diligence may not reveal all of a borrower's liabilities and may not reveal other weaknesses in its business.

        Before making a loan to a borrower, we assessed the strength and skills of such entity's management and other factors that we believe are material to the performance of the investment. In making the assessment and otherwise conducting customary due diligence, we relied on the resources available to us and, in some cases, an investigation by third parties. This process is particularly important and subjective with respect to newly organized or private entities because there may be little or no information publicly available about the entities. There can be no assurance that our due diligence processes uncovered all relevant facts or that any investment will be successful.

25

We will depend on debtors for our revenue, and, accordingly, our revenue and our ability to make distributions to you will be dependent upon the success and economic viability of such debtors.

        The success of our investments in real estate-related loans will materially depend on the financial stability of the debtors underlying such investments. The inability of a single major debtor or a number of smaller debtors to meet their payment obligations could result in reduced revenue or losses.

To hedge against exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective and may reduce the overall returns on your investment and affect cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

        We have used and may in the future use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates and interest rates on loans secured by our assets and investments in collateralized mortgage-backed securities. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions are determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from time to time. Our hedging may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:

•

interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates;

•

available interest rate hedging may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;

•

the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability or asset;

•

the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions to offset interest rate losses is limited by federal tax provisions governing REITs;

•

the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;

•

the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay; and

•

we may purchase a hedge that turns out to be unnecessary,i.e., a hedge that is out of the money.

        Any hedging activity we engage in may adversely affect our earnings, which could adversely affect cash available for distribution to our stockholders. Therefore, while we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged or liabilities being hedged may vary materially. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended accounting treatment and may expose us to risk of loss.

        To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to credit risk, basis risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks, including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. If we are unable to manage these risks effectively, our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to you will be adversely affected.

26

        As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, certain swap transactions will be required to be submitted for clearing by a derivatives clearing organization, unless certain exemptions apply. The rulemaking implementing the clearing requirement is still in process, however, and the implementation of the clearing requirement may affect, among other things, our exposure to our swap counterparties, the margin or collateral required to be posted in connection with our swap transactions and the costs of entering into such transactions.

Hedging instruments often are not traded on regulated exchanges, guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house, or regulated by any U.S. or foreign governmental authorities and involve risks and costs which may result in us sustaining losses.

        The cost of using hedging instruments increases as the period covered by the instrument increases and during periods of rising and volatile interest rates. We may increase our hedging activity and thus increase our hedging costs during periods when interest rates are volatile or rising and hedging costs have increased. In addition, hedging instruments involve risk since they often are not traded on regulated exchanges, guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house, or regulated by any U.S. or foreign governmental authorities. Consequently, there are no requirements with respect to record keeping, financial responsibility or segregation of customer funds and positions. Furthermore, the enforceability of agreements underlying derivative transactions may depend on compliance with applicable statutory, commodity and other regulatory requirements and, depending on the identity of the counterparty, applicable international requirements. The business failure of a hedging counterparty with whom we enter into a hedging transaction will most likely result in a default. Default by a party with whom we enter into a hedging transaction may result in the loss of unrealized profits and force us to cover our resale commitments, if any, at the then current market price. Although generally we will seek to reserve the right to terminate our hedging positions, it may not always be possible to dispose of or close out a hedging position without the consent of the hedging counterparty, and we may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover our risk. We cannot be certain that a liquid secondary market will exist for hedging instruments purchased or sold, and we may be required to maintain a position until exercise or expiration, which could result in losses to us and affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

        The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate, inflation and/or currency risks will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges (1) interest rate risk on liabilities incurred to carry or acquire real estate or (2) risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the REIT 75% or 95% gross income tests, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute nonqualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

There can be no assurance that the direct or indirect effects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted in July 2010 for the purpose of stabilizing or reforming the financial markets, will not have an adverse effect on our interest rate hedging activities.

        On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") became law in the United States. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act contains a sweeping overhaul of the regulation of privately negotiated derivatives. The provisions of Title VII became effective on July 16, 2011 or, with respect to particular provisions, on such other date specified

27

in the Dodd-Frank Act or by subsequent rulemaking. While the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our interest rate hedging activities cannot be fully assessed, the requirements of Title VII may affect our ability to enter into hedging or other risk management transactions, may increase our costs in entering into such transactions, and may result in us entering into such transactions on more unfavorable terms than prior to effectiveness of the Dodd-Frank Act. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events may have an adverse effect on our business. For example, subject to an exception for end-users of swaps upon which we may seek to rely, under certain rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act, beginning in 2013, we may be required for the first time to clear our interest rate hedging transactions.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

There is no public trading market for your shares; therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount from the price you paid to acquire your shares.

        There is no public market for your shares. If you are able to sell your shares, the price you receive for the shares of our common stock is likely to be less than the proportionate value of our investments. On January 10, 2011, our board of directors suspended all redemptions under our share redemption program until further notice. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. You may not be able to sell your shares in the event of an emergency. In addition, on December 14, 2012, our board of directors established an estimated per-share value of our common stock of $3.58 (for a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see Part II, Item 5, "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Market Information."). Therefore, if you are able to sell your shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount from the price you paid to acquire your shares. It is also likely that your shares would not be accepted as primary collateral for a loan.

The estimated per share value of our common stock determined pursuant to our valuation policy is subject to certain limitations and qualifications and may not reflect the amount you would obtain if you tried to sell your shares or if we liquidated our assets.

        We adopted a valuation policy in respect of estimating the per share value of our common stock, effective May 11, 2009 and amended on June 22, 2009 and March 23, 2012. On December 14, 2012, pursuant to our valuation policy, our board of directors established an estimated per share value of our common stock of $3.58 per share. This estimate was determined by our board of directors after consultation with the Advisor and an independent, third party real estate research, valuation and advisory firm, subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in our valuation policy. The estimated value is not intended to be related to any analysis of individual asset values performed for financial statement purposes nor values at which individual assets may be carried on financial statements under applicable accounting standards. In addition, the per share valuation method is not designed to arrive at a valuation that is related to any individual or aggregated value estimates or appraisals of the value of our assets. This estimated value may not reflect the amount you would obtain if you tried to sell your shares or if we liquidated our assets. For a full description of the limitations and qualifications of the estimate, please refer to our valuation policy.

If we lose or are unable to obtain key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

        Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our chairman, certain executive officers and other key personnel of, our Advisor and its affiliates, including Robert S. Aisner and Michael J. O'Hanlon, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not have employment agreements with our chairman, vice chairman and executive officers, and we cannot

28

guarantee that they will remain affiliated with us. Although our chairman, several of our executive officers and other key personnel, including Mr. Aisner and Mr. O'Hanlon, have entered into employment agreements with affiliates of our Advisor, including Harvard Property Trust, these agreements are terminable at will, and we cannot guarantee that such persons will remain affiliated with our Advisor. If any of our key personnel were to cease their affiliation with us, our Advisor or its affiliates, our operating results could suffer. Further, although Behringer Harvard Holdings has key person insurance on the life of Robert S. Aisner, we do not intend to separately maintain key person life insurance on him, or any other person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon our Advisor's and its affiliates' ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for persons with these skills is intense, and we cannot assure you that our Advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel. Further, we have established, and intend in the future to establish, strategic relationships with firms that have special expertise in certain services or as to assets both nationally and in certain geographic regions. Maintaining these relationships will be important for us to effectively implement our investment strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such strategic relationships. If we lose or are unable to obtain the services of key personnel or do not establish or maintain appropriate strategic relationships, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

Our rights, and the rights of our stockholders, to recover claims against our officers, directors, and our Advisor are limited.

        Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in such capacity if he performs his duties in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter provides that, subject to the applicable limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages. Our charter also provides that we will generally indemnify our directors, our officers, our employees, our agents, our Advisor and its affiliates for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, and our Advisor and its affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce your and our recovery from these persons. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents or our Advisor in some cases.

Because we rely on affiliates of Behringer Harvard Holdings for the provision of advisory and property management services, if Behringer Harvard Holdings is unable to meet its obligations, we may be required to find alternative providers of these services, which could result in a disruption of our business.

        Behringer Harvard Holdings, through one or more of its subsidiaries, owns and controls our Advisor and our property manager. The operations of our Advisor and our property manager rely substantially on Behringer Harvard Holdings. Behringer Harvard Holdings is largely dependent on fee income from its sponsored real estate programs. The current real estate market disruptions could adversely affect the amount of such fee income. In the event that Behringer Harvard Holdings becomes unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we might be required to find alternative service providers, which could result in a significant disruption of our business and would likely adversely affect the value of your investment in us.

29

Our cash flow from operating activities has been insufficient to fully fund distributions to our stockholders and we have made distributions from other sources, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

        Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, general financial condition, and other factors that our board deems relevant. On March 28, 2011, our board of directors ceased regular, quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from asset sales. Historically, our cash flow from operating activities has been insufficient to fully fund the payment of distributions and some of our distributions have been paid from other sources such as financing activities, components of which include proceeds from the Offering, borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets) in anticipation of future operating cash flow. In addition, from time to time, our Advisor and its affiliates may agree, as they did in January 2011, to waive or defer all, or a portion, of the acquisition, asset management or other fees or other incentives due to them, enter into lease agreements for unleased space, pay general administrative expenses, provide loans or otherwise supplement investor returns in order to increase the amount of cash available for operating needs and distributions. In March 2011, we also obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge our liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the date of the note, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory management agreement or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement, and bears interest at a rate of 5%. The balance on the loan at December 31, 2012 was $1.5 million. We paid the $1.5 million in March 2013. To the extent distributions have been paid from financing activities, we will have less money available for other uses, such as cash needed to refinance existing indebtedness, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

A limit on the number of shares a person may own may discourage a takeover.

        Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% of our outstanding shares of common or preferred stock. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might otherwise provide stockholders with the opportunity to receive a control premium for their shares.

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or discourage a third-party from acquiring us.

        Our charter permits our board of directors to issue up to 400,001,000 shares of capital stock. Our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, may (1) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares, (2) increase or decrease the number of shares of any class or series we have authority to issue or (3) classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of such stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.

30

Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired.

        Under Maryland law, "business combinations" between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:

•

any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's shares; or

•

an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

        A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

        After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

•

80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

•

two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation, other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

        These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. Maryland law also permits various exemptions from these provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Maryland law also limits the ability of a third party to buy a large stake in us and exercise voting power in electing directors.

        Maryland law provides a second anti-takeover statute, its Control Share Acquisition Act, which provides that "control shares" of a Maryland corporation acquired in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the corporation's disinterested stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by interested stockholders, that is, by the acquirer, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation, are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. "Control shares" are voting shares of stock that would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply to (a) shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or

31

(b) acquisitions approved or exempted by the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock. We can offer no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. This statute could have the effect of discouraging offers from third parties to acquire us and increasing the difficulty of successfully completing this type of offer by anyone other than our affiliates or any of their affiliates.

Stockholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations.

        Our board of directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the stockholders. Our charter sets forth the stockholder voting rights. Under our charter and the Maryland General Corporation Law, our stockholders currently have a right to vote only on the following matters:

•

the election or removal of directors;

•

any amendment of our charter, except that our board of directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to:

•

change our name;

•

increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares;

•

increase or decrease the number of our shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue;

•

classify or reclassify any unissued shares by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms and conditions of redemption of such shares;

•

effect reverse stock splits;

•

after the listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, opting into any of the provisions of Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law;

•

our liquidation and dissolution; and

•

our being a party to any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of substantially all of our assets (notwithstanding that Maryland law may not require stockholder approval).

        All other matters are subject to the discretion of our board of directors.

Our board of directors may change our investment policies and objectives generally and at the individual investment level without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of your investment.

        Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interests of the stockholders. In addition to our investment policies and objectives, we may also change our stated strategy for any investment in an individual property. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies may also vary, as new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent.

32

We may not successfully implement our exit strategy, in which case you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period.

        We have begun the process of liquidating our portfolios. However, we are under no obligation to complete our liquidation within a specified time period and market conditions and other factors could delay our ability to liquidate our portfolio. If we are not successful in implementing our exit strategy, your shares may continue to be illiquid and you may, for an indefinite period of time, be unable to convert your investment into cash easily and could suffer losses on your investment.

Your percentage interest in Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I will be reduced if we issue additional shares.

        Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter currently has authorized 400,001,000 shares of capital stock, of which 350,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, 1,000 shares are designated as convertible stock and 50,000,000 are designated as preferred stock. Subject to any limitations set forth under Maryland law, our board of directors may increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock, increase or decrease the number of shares of any class or series of stock designated, or reclassify any unissued shares without the necessity of obtaining stockholder approval. All of such shares may be issued in the discretion of our board of directors. Stockholders will likely experience dilution of their equity investment in us in the event that we (1) sell additional shares in the future, including those issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan, (2) sell securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock, (3) issue shares of our common stock in a private offering of securities to institutional investors, (4) issue shares of common stock upon the conversion of our convertible stock, (5) issue shares of our common stock upon the exercise of any options granted to our independent directors or employees of Behringer Opportunity Advisors I and HPT Management or their affiliates, (6) issue shares to Behringer Opportunity Advisors I, its successors or assigns, in payment of an outstanding fee obligation as set forth under our advisory management agreement, or (7) issue shares of our common stock to sellers of properties acquired by us in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests of Behringer Harvard OP I. In addition, the partnership agreement for Behringer Harvard OP I contains provisions which would allow, under certain circumstances, other entities, including other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs, to merge into or cause the exchange or conversion of their interest for interests of Behringer Harvard OP I. Because the limited partnership interests of Behringer Harvard OP I may be exchanged for shares of our common stock, any merger, exchange or conversion between Behringer Harvard OP I and another entity ultimately could result in the issuance of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, thereby diluting the percentage ownership interest of other stockholders. You should not expect to be able to own a significant percentage of our shares.

Payment of fees to our Advisor and its affiliates will reduce cash available for funding our operating activities.

        Our Advisor and its affiliates perform services for us in connection with, among other things, the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management and leasing of our properties, the servicing of our mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans, the administration of our other investments and the disposition of our assets. They are paid substantial fees for these services. These fees reduce the amount of cash available for funding our operating activities.

We may be restricted in our ability to replace our property manager under certain circumstances.

        Under the terms of our property management agreement, we may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice in the event of, and only in the event of, a showing of willful misconduct, gross negligence, or deliberate malfeasance by the property manager in performing its duties. Our board of directors may find the performance of our property manager to be unsatisfactory. However, unsatisfactory performance by the property manager may not constitute "willful misconduct, gross

33

negligence, or deliberate malfeasance." As a result, we may be unable to terminate the property management agreement at the desired time, which may have an adverse effect on the management and profitability of our properties.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments.

        We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities that could occur as a result of the failure of one of these entities. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or "FDIC," only insures limited amounts per depositor per insured bank. At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over the federally insured levels. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

        We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our Advisor and its affiliates, including the material conflicts discussed below.

Because a number of other Behringer Harvard sponsored real estate programs use investment strategies that are similar to ours, our executive officers, our Advisor and its executive officers face conflicts of interest relating to the leasing and disposition of properties, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

        There may be periods during which one or more Behringer Harvard sponsored programs are seeking to dispose of similar properties and other real estate-related investments. As a result, we may be trying to sell our properties and other real estate-related investments at the same time as one or more of the other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs managed by officers and employees of our Advisor and/or its affiliates, and these other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs may use disposition strategies that are similar to ours. Our executive officers and the executive officers of our Advisor are also the executive officers of other Behringer Harvard sponsored REITs and their advisors, the general partners of Behringer Harvard sponsored partnerships and/or the advisors or fiduciaries of other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs, and these entities are and will be under common control. In the event these conflicts arise, we cannot assure you that our best interests will be met when officers and employees acting on behalf of our Advisor and on behalf of advisors and managers of other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs decide whether to pursue a specific buyer of real estate on our behalf or on behalf of another Behringer Harvard sponsored program or affiliate of our Advisor, which may have a disposition strategy that is similar to ours. In addition, we have acquired properties in geographic areas where other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs own properties. If one of the other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs attracts a tenant for which we are competing, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another suitable tenant. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved.

Our Advisor and its affiliates, including all of our executive officers and some of our directors, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

        Our Advisor and its affiliates, including our property manager, are entitled to substantial fees from us under the terms of our advisory management agreement and property management agreement. These fees could influence our Advisor's advice to us, as well as the judgment of affiliates of our

34

Advisor performing services for us. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

•

continuing, renewing, or enforcing our agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates, including the advisory management agreement and the property management agreement;

•

public offerings of equity by us, which may entitle Behringer Securities LP ("Behringer Securities") to dealer-manager fees and will likely entitle our Advisor to increased acquisition and asset management fees;

•

property sales, which entitle our Advisor to real estate commissions and the possible issuance to our Advisor of shares of our common stock through the conversion of our convertible stock;

•

property acquisitions from other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs, which might entitle affiliates of our Advisor to real estate commissions and possible success-based sale fees in connection with its services for the seller;

•

property acquisitions from third parties, which entitle our Advisor to acquisition and advisory fees and asset-management fees;

•

borrowings to acquire properties, which increase the acquisition, debt financing, and asset management fees payable to our Advisor;

•

determining the compensation paid to employees for services provided to us, which could be influenced in part by whether or not the Advisor is reimbursed by us for the related salaries and benefits; and

•

whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle our Advisor to real estate commissions and to the issuance of shares of our common stock through the conversion of our convertible stock.

        The fees our Advisor receives in connection with transactions involving the purchase and management of an asset are based on the cost of the investment, including the amount budgeted for the development, construction, and improvement of each asset, and not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. This may influence our Advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us. Furthermore, our Advisor will refund these fees to the extent they are based on budgeted amounts that prove too high once development, construction, or improvements are completed, but the fact that these fees are initially calculated.

        In addition, the conversion feature of our convertible stock could cause us to make different investment or disposition decisions than we would otherwise make, in order to avoid the stock conversion. Moreover, our Advisor has the right to terminate the advisory management agreement for any reason upon 60 days' notice and thereby trigger the conversion of the convertible stock, which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control that might otherwise be in our stockholders' best interests.

Our Advisor's executive officers and key personnel and the executive officers and key personnel of Behringer Harvard affiliated entities that conduct our day-to-day operations face competing demands on their time, and this may cause our investment returns to suffer.

        We rely upon the executive officers of our Advisor and the executive officers and employees of Behringer Harvard affiliated entities to conduct our day-to-day operations. These persons also conduct the day-to-day operations of other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs and may have other business interests as well. Because these persons have competing interests on their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. During

35

times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate. If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.

Our officers face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with entities affiliated with our Advisor, which could diminish the value of the services they provide to us.

        Certain of our executive officers are also officers of our Advisor, our property manager and other entities affiliated with our Advisor, including the advisors and fiduciaries to other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs. As a result, these individuals owe fiduciary duties to these other entities and their investors, which may conflict with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. Their loyalties to these other entities and investors could result in action or inaction that is detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our business strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (1) allocation of new investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (2) the timing and terms of the investment in or sale of an asset, (3) development of our properties by affiliates of our Advisor, (4) investments with affiliates of our Advisor, (5) compensation to our Advisor, and (6) our relationship with our property manager. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate the cash needed to make distributions to you and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.

Your investment will be diluted upon conversion of the convertible stock.

        Behringer Harvard Holdings purchased 1,000 shares of our convertible stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000. Under limited circumstances, these shares may be converted into shares of our common stock, reducing the percentage of your common stock owned prior to conversion. The terms of the convertible stock provide that, generally, the holder of such shares will receive shares of common stock with a value equal to 15% of the excess of our enterprise value over the sum of the capital invested by the stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital. The shares of convertible stock will be converted into shares of common stock automatically if:

•

the holders of our common stock have received distributions equal to the sum of the aggregate capital invested by such stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital;

•

the shares of common stock are listed for trading on a national securities exchange; or

•

the advisory management agreement expires and is not renewed or is terminated, other than due to a termination because of a material breach by our Advisor, and at the time of or subsequent to such termination, the holders of our common stock have received aggregate distributions equal to the sum of the capital invested by such stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital contributions through the date of conversion.

        Our Advisor can influence whether we terminate the advisory management agreement or allow it to expire without renewal, or whether our common stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange. Accordingly, our Advisor can influence both the conversion of the convertible stock issued to Behringer Harvard Holdings and the resulting dilution of other stockholders' interests.

The convertible shares issued may be worth 15% of the excess of our enterprise value over the sum of the capital invested by our stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return.

        We have issued 1,000 shares of our convertible stock to Behringer Harvard Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000. As described above, under limited circumstances, these shares may be converted into shares of our common stock. The terms of the convertible stock provide that, generally, the holder of such shares will receive shares of common stock with a value on the date of

36

determination of the number of shares issuable upon such conversion equal to 15% of the excess of our enterprise value over the sum of the capital invested by the stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital. As a result, following conversion, the holder of the convertible stock will be entitled to a substantial portion of amounts distributable to our stockholders.

We face conflicts of interest relating to the incentive fee structure under our advisory management agreement, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

        Under our advisory management agreement, Behringer Opportunity Advisors I is entitled to fees that are structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our Advisor to perform in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders. However, because our Advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us and is entitled to receive substantial minimum compensation regardless of performance, our Advisor's interests are not wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. In that regard, our Advisor's entitlement to fees upon the sale of our assets and to participate in sale proceeds could result in our Advisor recommending sales of our investments at the earliest possible time at which sales of investments would produce the level of return that would entitle the Advisor to compensation relating to such sales, even if continued ownership of those investments might be in our best long-term interest. The terms of our convertible stock provide for its conversion into shares of common stock in the event we terminate our Advisor prior to the listing of our shares for trading on an exchange or, absent such listing, in respect of its participation in net sales proceeds.

        The terms of our advisory management agreement require us to pay a performance-based termination fee to our Advisor (reduced by the value of shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of our convertible stock) in the event that (1) the advisory management agreement expires without renewal or is terminated, other than because of a material breach by the Advisor; (2) the holders of the common stock have received distributions equal to the sum of the capital invested by such stockholders and a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return; or (3) the shares of common stock are listed for trading on a national securities exchange. To avoid the conversion of our convertible stock and/or paying this fee, our independent directors may decide against terminating the advisory management agreement prior to the listing of our shares or disposition of our investments even if, but for the termination fee, termination of the advisory management agreement would be in our best interests. In addition, the conversion feature of our convertible stock and the requirement of the advisory management agreement to pay a fee to our Advisor at termination could cause us to make different investment or disposition decisions than we would otherwise make, in order to avoid the stock conversion and the fee payment. Moreover, our Advisor has the right to terminate the advisory management agreement upon a change of control of our company and thereby trigger the payment of the performance fee and the conversion of the convertible stock, which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing the change of control.

Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions.

        We elected, and qualified, to be taxed as a REIT, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. In order for us to remain qualified as a REIT, we must satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Code and Treasury Regulations and various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. We intend to structure our activities in a manner designed to satisfy all of these requirements. However, if certain of our operations were to be recharacterized by the Internal Revenue Service, such recharacterization could jeopardize our ability to satisfy all of the requirements for qualification as a REIT and may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, new legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualifying as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualifying.

37

        Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet, through investments, actual operating results, distributions and satisfaction of specific stockholder rules, the various tests imposed by the Code. We cannot assure you that we will satisfy the REIT requirements in the future.

        If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the distributions paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

        Qualification as a REIT is subject to the satisfaction of tax requirements and various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. New legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of being a REIT. Our failure to continue to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect your return on your investment.

Our investment strategy may cause us to incur penalty taxes, lose our REIT status, or own and sell properties through taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which would diminish the return to our stockholders.

        In light of our opportunistic investment strategy, it is possible that one or more sales of our properties may be "prohibited transactions" under provisions of the Code. Any subdivision of property, such as the sale of condominiums, would almost certainly be considered such a prohibited transaction. If we are deemed to have engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (i.e., we sell a property held by us primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our trade or business), all income that we derive from such sale would be subject to a 100% tax. The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition of the 100% tax. A principal requirement of the safe harbor is that the REIT must hold the applicable property for not less than two years prior to its sale. Given our opportunistic investment strategy, it is entirely possible, if not likely, that the sale of one or more of our properties will not fall within the prohibited transaction safe harbor.

        If we desire to sell a property pursuant to a transaction that does not fall within the safe harbor, we may be able to avoid the 100% penalty tax if we acquired the property through a TRS or acquired the property and transferred it to a TRS for a non-tax business purpose prior to the sale (i.e., for a reason other than the avoidance of taxes). However, there may be circumstances that prevent us from using a TRS in a transaction that does not qualify for the safe harbor. Additionally, even if it is possible to effect a property disposition through a TRS, we may decide to forego the use of a TRS in a transaction that does not meet the safe harbor based on our own internal analysis, the opinion of counsel or the opinion of other tax advisors that the disposition will not be subject to the 100% penalty tax. In cases where a property disposition is not effected through a TRS, the Internal Revenue Service could successfully assert that the disposition constitutes a prohibited transaction, in which event all of the net income from the sale of such property will be payable as a tax and none of the proceeds from such sale will be distributable by us to our stockholders.

        If we acquire a property that we anticipate will not fall within the safe harbor from the 100% penalty tax upon disposition, then we may acquire such property through a TRS in order to avoid the possibility that the sale of such property will be a prohibited transaction and subject to the 100% penalty tax. If we already own such a property directly or indirectly through an entity other than a TRS, we may contribute the property to a TRS if there is another, non-tax related business purpose for the contribution of such property to the TRS. Following the transfer of the property to a TRS, the TRS will operate the property and may sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to us, and we may distribute the net proceeds distributed to us by the TRS to our stockholders.

38

Though a sale of the property by a TRS likely would eliminate the danger of the application of the 100% penalty tax, the TRS itself would be subject to a tax at the federal level, and potentially at the state and local levels, on the gain realized by it from the sale of the property, as well as on the income earned while the property is operated by the TRS. This tax obligation would diminish the amount of the proceeds from the sale of such property that would be distributable to our stockholders. As a result, the amount available for distribution to our stockholders would be substantially less than if the REIT had not operated and sold such property through the TRS and such transaction was not successfully characterized as a prohibited transaction. The maximum federal corporate income tax rate currently is 35%. Federal, state and local corporate income tax rates may be increased in the future, and any such increase would reduce the amount of the net proceeds available for distribution by us to our stockholders from the sale of property through a TRS after the effective date of any increase in such tax rates.

        If we own too many properties through one or more of our TRSs, then we may lose our status as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the distributions paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax. As a REIT, the value of the stock we hold in all of our TRSs may not exceed 25% of the value of all of our assets at the end of any calendar quarter. If the Internal Revenue Service were to determine that the value of our interests in all of our TRSs exceeded 25% of the value of total assets at the end of any calendar quarter, then we would fail to qualify as a REIT. If we determine it to be in our best interests to own a substantial number of our properties through one or more TRSs, then it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may conclude that the value of our interests in our TRSs exceeds 25% of the value of our total assets at the end of any calendar quarter and therefore cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, as a REIT, no more than 25% of our gross income with respect to any year may be from sources other than real estate. Distributions paid to us from a TRS are considered to be non-real estate income. Therefore, we may fail to qualify as a REIT if distributions from all of our TRSs, when aggregated with all other non-real estate income with respect to any one year, are more than 25% of our gross income with respect to such year. We will use all reasonable efforts to structure our activities in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements for our continued qualification as a REIT. Our failure to continue to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect your return on your investment.

Certain fees paid to us may affect our REIT status.

        Income received in the nature of rental subsidies or rent guarantees, in some cases, may not qualify as rental income and could be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service as non-qualifying income for purposes of satisfying the "income tests" required for REIT qualification. If this income were, in fact, treated as non-qualifying, and if the aggregate of such income and any other non-qualifying income in any taxable year ever exceeded 5% of our gross revenues for such year, we could lose our REIT status for that taxable year and the four ensuing taxable years. Our failure to continue to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect your return on your investment.

If our operating partnership fails to maintain its status as a partnership, its income may be subject to taxation, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

        We intend to maintain the status of the operating partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. However, if the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge the status of the operating partnership as a partnership, it would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would

39

reduce the amount of distributions that the operating partnership could make to us. This would also result in our losing REIT status, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our own income. This would substantially reduce our cash available to make distributions and the return on your investment. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which the operating partnership owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the operating partnership. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain REIT status.

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal and state taxes, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

        Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal and state taxes. For example, if we have net income from a "prohibited transaction," such income will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. We may also decide to retain income we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability. We may also be subject to state and local taxes, including potentially the "margin tax" in the State of Texas, on our income or property, either directly or at the level of the operating partnership or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets. Any federal or state taxes paid by us will reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Non-U.S. income or other taxes, and a requirement to withhold any non-U.S. taxes, may apply, and, if so, the amount of net cash from operations payable to you will be reduced.

        We have made investments in real estate located outside of the United States and may invest in stock or other securities of entities owning real property located outside the U.S. As a result, we may be subject to foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) income taxes, stamp taxes, real property conveyance taxes, withholding taxes, and other foreign taxes or similar impositions in connection with our ownership of foreign real property or foreign securities. The country in which the real property is located may impose such taxes regardless of whether we are profitable and in addition to any U.S. income tax or other U.S. taxes imposed on profits from our investments in such real property or securities. If a foreign country imposes income taxes on profits from our investment in foreign real property or foreign securities, you will not be eligible to claim a tax credit on your U.S. federal income tax returns to offset the income taxes paid to the foreign country, and the imposition of any foreign taxes in connection with our ownership and operation of foreign real property or our investment in securities of foreign entities will reduce the amounts distributable to you. Similarly, the imposition of withholding taxes by a foreign country will reduce the amounts distributable to you. We expect the organizational costs associated with non-U.S. investments, including costs to structure the investments so as to minimize the impact of foreign taxes, will be higher than those associated with U.S. investments. Moreover, we may be required to file income tax or other information returns in foreign jurisdictions as a result of our investments made outside of the U.S. Any organizational costs and reporting requirements will increase our administrative expenses and reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to you. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors with respect to the impact of applicable non-U.S. taxes and tax withholding requirements on an investment in our common stock.

Our foreign investments will be subject to changes in foreign tax or other laws, as well as to changes in U.S. tax laws, and such changes could negatively impact our returns from any particular investment.

        We have made investments in real estate located outside of the United States. Such investments are typically structured to minimize non-U.S. taxes, and generally include the use of holding companies. Our ownership, operation and disposition strategy with respect to non-U.S. investments will take into account foreign tax considerations. For example, it is typically advantageous from a tax perspective in non-U.S. jurisdictions to sell interests in a holding company that owns real estate rather than the real estate itself. Buyers of such entities, however, will often discount their purchase price by any inherent or expected tax in such entity. Additionally, the pool of buyers for interests in such holding companies is typically more limited than buyers of direct interests in real estate, and we may be forced to dispose of real estate directly, thus potentially incurring higher foreign taxes and negatively affecting the return on the investment.

        We will also capitalize our holding companies with debt and equity to reduce foreign income and withholding taxes as appropriate and with consultation with local counsel in each jurisdiction. Such capitalization structures are complex and potentially subject to challenge by foreign and domestic taxing authorities.

        We may use certain holding structures for our non-U.S. investments to accommodate the needs of one class of investors which reduce the after-tax returns to other classes of investors. For example, if we interpose an entity treated as a corporation for United States tax purposes in our chain of ownership with respect to any particular investment, U.S. tax-exempt investors will generally benefit as such investment will no longer generate unrelated business taxable income. However, if a corporate entity is interposed in a non-U.S. investment holding structure, this would prevent individual investors from claiming a foreign tax credit for any non-U.S. income taxes incurred by the corporate entity or its subsidiaries.

        Foreign investments are subject to changes in foreign tax or other laws. Any such law changes may require us to modify or abandon a particular holding structure. Such changes may also lead to higher tax rates on our foreign investments than we anticipated, regardless of structuring modifications. Additionally, U.S. tax laws with respect to foreign investments are subject to change, and such changes could negatively impact our returns from any particular investment.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect the returns to our investors.

        In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on your investment in our shares and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares. You also should note that our counsel's tax opinion is based upon existing law and Treasury Regulations, applicable as of the date of its opinion, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively.

        Congress passed major federal tax legislation in 2003, with modifications to that legislation in 2005 and 2010. One of the changes effected by that legislation generally reduced the tax rate on dividends paid by corporations to individuals to a maximum of 15% prior to 2013. REIT distributions generally do not qualify for this reduced rate. The tax changes did not, however, reduce the corporate tax rates. Therefore, the maximum corporate tax rate of 35% has not been affected. However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our

41

ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute to our stockholders, and we thus expect to avoid the "double taxation" to which other corporations are typically subject.

        Although REITs continue to receive substantially better tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Equity participation in mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans may result in taxable income and gains from these properties that could adversely impact our REIT status.

        If we participate under a loan in any appreciation of the properties securing the mortgage loan or its cash flow and the Internal Revenue Service characterizes this participation as "equity," we might have to recognize income, gains and other items from the property for federal income tax purposes. This could affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

        We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for federal corporate income tax not to apply to earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

        From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our taxable income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders (for example, where a borrower defers the payment of interest in cash pursuant to a contractual right or otherwise). If we do not have other funds available in these situations we could be required to borrow funds, sell investments at disadvantageous prices or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

PART II

Item 5.    Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market Information

        There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder. Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, it is not expected that a public market for the shares will develop.

        On December 14, 2012, pursuant to our Estimated Valuation Policy, our board of directors met and established an estimated per share value of the our common stock as of December 14, 2012 of $3.58 based on financial information as of September 30, 2012, adjusted from the previous estimated per share value of $4.12 established on December 20, 2011.

Estimated Per Share Value Process and Methodology

        Our board of directors' objective in determining an estimated value per share was to arrive at an estimated value that it believes is reasonable after consultation with an independent, third party real estate research, valuation and advisory firm engaged by the Company, and our advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, LLC (the "Advisor"), using what the board of directors deems, to be appropriate valuation methodologies and assumptions under current circumstances in accordance with the Estimated Valuation Policy.

        As a part of the Company's valuation process, the Company obtained the opinion of Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger"), an independent third party, that the estimated valuation that was prepared by the Advisor was reasonable and was prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate. Stanger reviewed the Advisor's analysis and provided a report with its range of estimated property values, which was consistent with the Advisor's analysis. In arriving at an estimated value per share for the board's consideration, the Advisor utilized valuation methodologies that it believes are standard and acceptable in the real estate industry for the types of assets held by the Company. Our board of directors met on December 14, 2012 to review and consider the valuation analyses prepared by the Advisor and Stanger. The Advisor presented a report to the board of directors with an estimated per share value, and the board of directors conferred with the Advisor and a representative from Stanger regarding the methodologies and assumptions used. The board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, considered all information provided in light of its own familiarity with our assets and unanimously approved an estimated value of $3.58 per share.

        In forming their opinion of the real estate value of the twelve investments held by the Company as of September 30, 2012, Stanger performed appraisals on three of our investment properties for which we did not have a recent appraisal. For the remaining nine investments not appraised by Stanger, they reviewed the reasonableness and relied upon third-party appraisals for six of our investments. The Company's remaining investments were valued based on sales contracts, purchase offers, and valuation information provided by the Advisor.

        Stanger's opinion was expressed from a financial point of view and was subject to various limitations. In forming its opinion Stanger relied on information provided by our Advisor and third parties without independent verification. Stanger did not perform engineering or structural studies or environmental studies of any of the properties, nor did they perform an independent appraisal of the other assets and liabilities included in our estimated value per share. Our Advisor provided Stanger with information regarding lease terms and the physical condition and capital expenditure requirements of each property.

47

        Stanger has acted as a financial advisor to the Company and the Advisor in connection with this assignment and the compensation paid to Stanger in connection with this assignment was not contingent upon the successful completion of any transaction or conclusion reached by Stanger. Stanger has rendered financial advisory services to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates during the past two years for which usual and customary compensation has been paid to Stanger. Stanger may be engaged to provide financial advisory services to the Company and to the Advisor and its affiliates in the future.

        Our estimated per-share value of $3.58 as of December 14, 2012 reflects a decline from our previous estimated share value of $4.12 as of December 20, 2011. The investments that were the most significant to the decline in our real estate asset value related to our development property located in the Bahamas and our undeveloped land located in Arizona. Lack of capital for development projects and lack of opportunistic buyers continue to affect the values of these types of assets. The new estimated per-share value reflects the current challenging economic climate that continues to impact the real estate and capital markets, and opportunistic investing in particular.

        The following is a summary of the valuation methodologies used for each type of asset:

        Investments in Real Estate.    For purposes of calculating an estimated value per share, the Advisor utilized a variety of methods to estimate the value of our investments in real estate. As an opportunity style fund with a variety of asset types, both Stanger and our Advisor utilized different valuation methodologies, each as appropriate for the asset type under consideration to assign an estimated value to each asset. In calculating values for our assets, our Advisor used balance sheet and cash flow estimates as of September 30, 2012 and assumed that our assets were sold as of September 30, 2012 after an appropriate marketing process and giving effect to forecasted cash flows for the fourth quarter of 2012.

        Except as discussed below, we used recent appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers in connection with the Company's operating and financing activities. Stanger reviewed each of these independent appraisals to confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions and methodologies used in the appraisals. Stanger also prepared appraisals for certain of our properties in connection with the valuation. The appraisals estimated values by using discounted cash flow analysis, direct capitalization approach, sale comparables, or a weighting of these approaches in determining each property's value. The appraisals employed a range of terminal capitalization rates, discount rates, growth rates and other variables that fell within ranges that Stanger and the Advisor believed would be used by similar investors to value the properties we own. The assumptions used in developing these estimates were specific to each property (including holding periods) and were determined based upon a number of factors including the market in which the property is located, the specific location of the property within the market, property and market vacancy, tenant demand for space and investor demand and return requirements.

        For one consolidated office building that sold after the valuation date, we used the contract sales price less selling costs. For one of our undeveloped land assets we used a purchase letter of intent less estimated selling costs to calculate the value.

        The value of our unconsolidated joint venture investment in a portfolio of retail and industrial properties located in Central Europe was calculated using bank valuations prepared for the European lenders using the September 30, 2012 exchange rate to convert to United States dollar

        We calculated the value of our condominium inventory using the current listing prices with deductions for estimated sale discounts and cost of sales, all discounted back to the current period.

        While our Advisor believes that the approaches used by appraisers in valuing our real estate assets including an income approach using discounted cash flow analysis and sales comparable analysis is standard in the real estate industry, the estimated values for our investments in real estate may or may

48

not represent current market values or fair values determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Real estate is currently carried at its amortized cost basis in our financial statements, subject to any adjustments applicable under GAAP.

        Investment in Mezzanine Loan.    To calculate the value of our mezzanine loan, we estimated the underlying collateral value of the multifamily project and compared that estimated value to the amount of the senior indebtedness, which has priority of payment to our mezzanine loan.

        Other Assets and Liabilities.    The carrying values of our other assets and liabilities are estimated to be equal to fair value due to their liquidity characteristics and/or short maturities.

        The estimated per share value does not reflect a liquidity discount for the fact that the shares are not traded on a national securities exchange, a discount for the non-assumability or prepayment obligations associated with certain of the Company's debt, or a discount for our corporate level overhead and other costs that may be incurred, including any costs related to the sale of the Company's assets. Different parties using different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated value per share, and these differences could be significant. The markets for real estate can fluctuate and values are expected to change in the future.

Allocation of Estimated Value

        As of December 14, 2012, our estimated per share value was allocated as follows:

Consolidated real estate properties	$	5.45	(1)
Unconsolidated joint ventures		0.33	(2)
Mezzanine loan investment		0.00	(3)
Mortgage debt		(2.95)	(4)
Other assets and liabilities		0.85

Excludes mortgage debt from one property encumbered by non-recourse debt (as noted in note 1 above) since the property's value is not estimated to be in excess of the debt. The Company anticipates a sale for this property whereby the lender receives all of the proceeds. Therefore, we have not attributed any value to this property in the Company's estimate of value.

As of September 30, 2012 we had 56,500,472 shares outstanding. The potential dilutive effect of our common stock equivalents does not impact our estimated per share value.

        The estimated per share value is based upon the assets that we owned as of September 30, 2012 and reflects an overall decline of 32% from original purchase price (excluding acquisition costs and operating deficits) of those assets plus post-acquisition capital investments.

        The real estate assets we owned as of September 30, 2012 reflect an overall decline of 32% from original purchase price (excluding acquisition costs and operating deficits) plus post-acquisition capital investments.

        While we believe that our assumptions utilized are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of value of our real estate assets. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, an increase of 25 basis points in the weighted average of the implied direct sales capitalization rate for properties using the year one net operating income would yield a decrease in the value of our real estate assets of 3.1%, while a decrease in the weighted average implied capitalization rate of 25 basis points would yield an increase in the value of our real estate assets of 3.3%. We have invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated real property and real estate-related securities exposing us to fluctuating currency rates. A change in the foreign exchange currency rates may have an adverse impact on our value.

Limitations of Estimated Value Per Share

        As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may prove later to be inaccurate or incomplete. Further, different parties using different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated value per share, which could be significantly different from our board's estimated value per share. The estimated per share value determined by our board of directors neither represents the fair value according to GAAP of our assets less liabilities, nor does it represent the amount our shares would trade at on a national securities exchange or the amount a stockholder would obtain if he tried to sell his shares or if we liquidated our assets. Accordingly, with respect to the estimated value per share, the Company can give no assurance that:

•

a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at this estimated value;

•

a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Company's estimated value per share upon liquidation of the Company's assets and settlement of its liabilities or a sale of the Company;

•

the Company's shares would trade at the estimated value per share on a national securities exchange; or

•

the methodologies used to estimate the Company's value per share would be acceptable to FINRA or under ERISA for compliance with their respective reporting requirements.

50

        For further information regarding the limitations of the estimated value per share, see the Estimated Valuation Policy filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2009. Although our Estimated Valuation Policy requires us to update our estimated per share value at least every 18 months, we intend to update our estimated per share value on an annual basis.

        The estimated value of our shares was calculated as of a particular point in time. The value of the Company's shares will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual assets in the portfolio and the management of those assets and in response to the real estate and finance markets. There is no assurance of the extent to which the current estimated valuation should be relied upon for any purpose after its effective date regardless that it may be published on any statement issued by the Company or otherwise.

        The Company is diligently working to secure new leases with quality tenants to: increase net operating income and the ultimate value of our assets; complete, market, and sell development assets; execute on other value creation strategies; and minimize expenses when possible.

Holders

        As of February 28, 2013, we had 56,500,472 shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of approximately 20,900 stockholders.

Distributions

        We elected to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders annually. Some of our distributions to date have been paid from sources other than cash flow from operations to date. As the Company continues its objective of enhancing and repositioning its assets to create value, it has begun its disposition phase. In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors determined to cease regular quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds from asset sales. For tax purposes, the amounts distributed by us in 2011, represented a 100% return of capital.

        There were no distributions during the year ended December 31, 2012. Distributions for the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2011 were as follows ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

Share Redemption Program

        In February 2006, our board of directors authorized a share redemption program for stockholders who held their shares for more than one year. Under the program, our board reserved the right in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to (1) waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, disability or bankruptcy of a stockholder or other exigent circumstances, (2) reject any request for redemption, (3) change the purchase price for redemptions, or (4) terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program.

        On March 30, 2009, our board of directors voted to accept all redemption requests submitted during the first quarter of 2009 from stockholders whose requests were made on circumstances of death, disability, or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as "Exceptional Redemptions"). However, the board determined to not accept, and to suspend until further notice, redemptions other than Exceptional Redemptions, referred to herein as "Ordinary Redemptions".

        On January 10, 2011, as is customary for REITs entering the disposition phase, the board suspended the redemption program with respect to all redemption requests until further notice. Therefore, we did not redeem any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012. This allows the Company to further conserve capital in anticipation of its portfolio capital needs that can preserve and enhance ultimate sales proceeds of its properties, including capital needs for leasing commissions, tenant improvements, completion of development or redevelopment, disposition costs, and other capital requirements.

        We have not presented information regarding submitted and unfulfilled redemptions during 2012 as our board of directors suspended all redemptions as of the first quarter of 2011 and we believe many stockholders who may otherwise desire to have their shares redeemed have not submitted a request due to the program suspension.

        Any redemption requests submitted while the program is suspended will be returned to investors and must be resubmitted upon resumption of the share redemption program. If the share redemption program is resumed, we will give all stockholders notice that we are resuming redemptions, so that all stockholders will have an equal opportunity to submit shares for redemption. Upon resumption of the

52

program, any redemption requests will be honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available. Requests will not be honored on a first come, first served basis.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Executive Overview

        We are a Maryland corporation that was formed in November 2004 to invest in and operate commercial real estate or real-estate related assets located in or outside the United States on an opportunistic basis. We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating partnership and its subsidiaries. We are organized and qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

        We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, a Texas limited liability company formed in June 2007. Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.

        As of December 31, 2012, we wholly owned six properties and consolidated four properties through investments in joint ventures including one classified as asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. In addition, we have a noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in an investment in a joint venture consisting of 22

54

properties that are accounted for using the equity method. Our investment properties are located in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, London, England, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold four of our wholly owned properties and our noncontrolling unconsolidated ownership interest in one joint venture.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Strategic Asset Sales

        During 2012, the Company focused on creating and maintaining additional cash reserves to provide us the necessary flexibility in preserving and increasing the value of our remaining assets. During 2012, we sold five of our assets. On May 4, 2012, we sold our interest in the Santa Clara 800 Joint Venture to an unaffiliated third party for net proceeds of $12.4 million. On May 18, 2012, we sold Santa Clara 700/750 Joint Venture for a contract sales price of $47.8 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property. We recorded a gain of less than $0.1 million related to the sale and received net proceeds of $8.2 million. On May 29, 2012, we sold Tanglewood at Voss for a contract sales price of $52.5 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property. We recorded a gain of $3.2 million and received net proceeds of $13 million. On August 16, 2012, we sold our Bowen Road data center for a contract sales price of $25.9 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property. We retained approximately 40 acres of land acquired with the Bowen Road data center. We recorded a gain of $8.9 million related to the sale and received net proceeds of $9.2 million. On October 16, 2012, we sold Bent Tree Green for a contract sales price of $12 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property. We received net proceeds of $6 million. The majority of the net proceeds from sales occurring in 2012 were used to provide liquidity to refinance or repay maturing debt, cover operating expenses, and make enhancements to portfolio properties in cases where additional investment is warranted.

        We are negotiating a sale of our Becket House leasehold interest. The proceeds from the sale will be used to fully satisfy the debt. We are also marketing for sale our 40 acres of 4950 S. Bowen Road land. On March 7, 2013, we signed a purchase and sale agreement for our Rio Salado project for approximately $9.3 million. We expect the sale to close in second quarter of 2013. The remaining operating properties are either in markets that would benefit from anticipated rental increases and improving local markets before sale, or are in various stages of the stabilization process. As the properties stabilize, they may require additional time and capital resources to lease up vacancy, retain key tenants, create value through reinvestment, or sell condominium units or land parcels before their ultimate disposition. Our portfolio also consists of three development projects and one note receivable, and a final exit is contingent upon a stabilized economy and resurgent demand for the respective product types. It is possible that we will invest enough additional capital in some of these sites to make them attractive to market to other developers rather than completing the original development plan. However, there can be no assurance that future dispositions will occur as planned, or, if they occur, that they will help us to meet our liquidity demands. Once we anticipate selling all or substantially all of our assets, we will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

Liquidity Demands

        The primary objectives of our current business plan are to continue to preserve capital, as well as sustain and enhance property values, while continuing to focus on the disposition of our properties. During 2012 we improved our liquidity through strategic disposition of certain assets and through repayment and restructuring of debt. Our cash balance at December 31, 2012 is $34.8 million as

55

compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2011. Additionally, our debt to assets ratio decreased to 38% at December 31, 2012 as compared to 50% at December 31, 2011. Our ability to continue to execute this plan is contingent on our ability to dispose of our properties in an orderly fashion thus providing needed liquidity. The U.S., European, and global economies continue to experience the effects of the significant downturn that began more than four years ago. This downturn continues to disrupt the broader financial and credit markets, weaken consumer confidence, weaken financial institutions and adversely impact unemployment rates The disposal of our properties will be subject to these economic factors, including the ability of potential purchasers to access debt capital financing.

        Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as we proceed through our disposition phase. As is usual for opportunity style real estate investment programs, we are structured as a finite life entity, and have entered the final phase of operations. This phase includes the selling of our assets, retiring our liabilities, and distributing net proceeds to stockholders. We have experienced significant losses and may generate negative cash flows as mortgage note obligations and expenses exceed revenues. If we are unable to sell a property when we determine to do so as contemplated in our business plan, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flows that are necessary to meet our mortgage obligations and to satisfy our other liabilities in the normal course of business.

        Our ability to continue as a going concern is, therefore, dependent upon our ability to sell real estate investments generate cash flow from operations, to pay or retire debt as it matures if extensions or new financings are unavailable, and to fund certain ongoing costs of our company, including our development and operating properties. Our principal demands for funds for the next twelve months and beyond will be for the payment of costs associated with the lease-up of available space at our operating properties (including commissions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements), certain ongoing costs at our development properties, Company operating expenses, and interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness. We expect to fund a portion of these demands by using cash flow from operations of our current investments and borrowings. Additionally, we will use proceeds from our strategic asset sales.

        To bridge our liquidity needs until those asset sales occured, in January 2011, we obtained a deferral from our Advisor of the payment of all asset management fees accruing during the months of May 2010 through March 2011 and all debt financing fees and expense reimbursements accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as we had sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable us to pay the deferred fees and reimbursements. Also in January 2011, BH Property Management deferred our obligation to pay property management oversight fees accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as we have sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable us to pay the deferred fees. The deferred property management oversight fees were fully repaid in 2012. The total deferred fees and expenses at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were zero and $2.9 million, respectively.

        On March 29, 2011, we obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge our liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan bears interest at a rate of 5% and has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) March 29, 2013, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory management agreement or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement. The balance on the loan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.5 million. On March 25, 2013, we fully paid the loan and accrued interest.

56

        We continually evaluate our liquidity and ability to fund future operations and debt obligations (See note 9 Notes Payable for more details in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As part of those analyses, we consider lease expirations and other factors. As indicated in "Item 2. Properties—Portfolio Lease Expirations" above, office leases representing 13% of our annualized base rent will expire by the end of 2013. In the normal course of business, we are pursuing renewals, extensions and new leases. If we are unable to renew or extend the expiring leases under similar terms or is unable to negotiate new leases, it would negatively impact our liquidity and consequently adversely affect our ability to fund our ongoing operations. In addition, our portfolio is concentrated in certain geographic regions and industries, and downturns relating generally to such regions or industries may result in defaults on a number of our investments within a short time period. Such defaults would negatively affect our liquidity and adversely affect our ability to fund our ongoing operations. As of December 31, 2012, 60% and 20% of our 2012 base rent was derived from tenants in Texas and Missouri, respectively, and 30%, 12% and 12% of our lease agreements at the office properties we consolidate on our financial statements were concentrated in the retail trade, finance and insurance and manufacturing industry, respectively.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings—Frisco Debtors

        On June 13, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), the special purpose entity Behringer Harvard Frisco Square, LP, along with our indirect subsidiaries BHFS I, LLC, BHFS II, LLC, BHFS III, LLC, BHFS IV, LLC and BHFS Theater, LLC (collectively, the "Frisco Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 Cases pertain only to the Frisco Debtors, neither the Company nor any of its other wholly owned subsidiaries, or joint ventures, either consolidated or unconsolidated, have sought such protection.

        The Frisco Debtors operated as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the order of the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Joint Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan"), which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy court entered on December 20, 2012 allowing the Frisco Debtors to emerge from bankruptcy. Under the Reorganization Plan, all creditors are paid 100%: some immediately, and some over time. The reorganized Frisco Debtors wholly own the Frisco property.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors entered into an amended and restated loan agreement related to the BHFS Loan. The amended BHFS Loan matures in five years with one two-year extension available if certain conditions are met. The amended BHFS Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        Also on December 27, 2012 and pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors entered into a modification of the Theater Loan and the maturity date was extended to February 1, 2018 with one two-year extension available if certain conditions are met. The modified Theater Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        In conjunction with the Reorganization Plan, the Company made an aggregate $16.5 million payment to partially pay down the principal of the BHFS Loan, and the lenders released all encumbrances related to the vacant land of approximately 27.5 acres owned by the BHFS Entities. The BHFS Loan balance after the pay down is currently approximately $26.9 million. The current balance of the Theater Loan is approximately $4.6 million. The BHFS Loan and the Theater Loan are cross-defaulted.

57

        On December 27, 2012, in connection with the BHFS Loan amendment and the Theater Loan modification, the Company executed a new guaranty agreement with the lenders, which guarantees payment of principal, accrued interest and certain lender costs and expenses subject to a cap. The notional amount of the cap is $11.2 million. The guaranty cap may be reduced by voluntary principal repayments, as defined in the guaranty agreement.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors also agreed to settle claims made by the City of Frisco. Under the Frisco Square Development Agreement (the, "Development Agreement"), as amended and supplemented between certain predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors and the City of Frisco (the "City"), the City was to be reimbursed approximately $1.3 million on April 1, 2013 related to the costs and expenses associated with the construction of Frisco Plaza located at Frisco Square in from the Frisco City Hall (the, "Plaza Obligation"). The City of Frisco issued $12.5 million of bonds that were used to make public improvements within the Frisco Square Management District (the, "MMD"). Under the Development Agreement the predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors agreed to be responsible for 50% of the bond debt service (the, "Bond Obligation). At the time the real property value with the MMD reaches $125 million the Bond Obligation will be reduced by¹/2% for each $1 million above the $125 million threshold. At $225 million of real property values within the MMD the Bond Obligation is terminated. The total outstanding Bond Obligation at December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million.

        The Development Agreement allowed that the Bond Obligation, the Plaza Obligation and other monetary obligations pursuant to the Development Agreement could be apportioned based upon the value of the real property and real property improvements if an association, as defined, is formed. The Frisco Square Property Owner's Association (the, "POA") was formed on October 5, 2007. The POA pays for salaries, maintenance, special events, capital improvements and bond payments related to land within its defined area. In turn, the POA assesses its members for these costs. We are not the sole member of the POA. The annual bond debt service assessed by the POA is approximately $491,000. The Frisco Debtors expensed approximately $328,000 which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors paid the $1.3 million to the City of Frisco for the Plaza Obligation on December 27, 2012. For the Bond Obligation, the Frisco Debtors agreed to escrow one year's worth of principal interest payments. The Frisco Debtors also agreed to make the semi-annual interest and principal payments. For both the Plaza Obligation and the Bond Obligation, the Frisco Debtors expect to utilize the POA to assess its members and to be reimbursed pro-ratably. The $1.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the December 31, 2012 balance sheet.

        Under the Development Plan, 720 parking spaces in a minimum of two parking garages were required to be constructed by February 2012 (the, "Parking Obligation"). The Reorganization Plan extends the date to build the garages until February 1, 2018.

        The City has secured the Bond Obligation and the Parking Obligation by placing liens on the vacant land held by the BHFS I, LLC. The book value of the BHFS I, LLC land is $28.2 million. In the event the reorganized Frisco Debtors sell the vacant land, 33% of the net sales proceeds are to be deposited into an escrow account for the benefit of the City to secure the Parking Obligations until the amount in the escrow is $7 million. The current amount in the escrow is zero. For the Bond Obligation, the City will release the lien on the land to be sold provided that the City is provided with substitute collateral worth the amount of property to be sold. As discussed above, the Bond Obligation will be reduced from time to time and terminated once property values reach $225 million within the MMD.

Does not include approximately $0.5 million of unamortized premium related to debt we assumed on our acquisition of Northborough Tower. Does not include the loan secured by our Becket House property which is classified as obligations associated with real estate held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. Includes $1.5 million notes payable to related party, which was fully repaid on March 25, 2013.

        We have no scheduled maturities in the twelve months following December 31, 2012, other than the debt related to Becket House. Our Becket House non-recourse debt of $25.4 million matured on December 31, 2012. We are negotiating a sale of the property and the lender is expected to accept the sales proceeds as full satisfaction of the outstanding debt.

        As of December 31, 2012, we were not in compliance with covenants related to Becket House. The Becket House senior loan requires that a hedging arrangement remain in place during the term of the loan. We did not have a hedge in place. We expect the sale to close in the second quarter of 2013.

        We currently expect to use funds generated by our operating properties, additional borrowings, and proceeds from the disposition of properties to continue making our scheduled debt service payments until the maturity dates of the loans are extended, the loans are refinanced, or the outstanding balance of the loans are completely paid off. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to refinance our borrowings with more or less favorable terms or extend the maturity dates of such loans. In addition, the continued economic downturn and lack of available credit to buyers could delay or inhibit our ability to dispose of our properties in an orderly manner, or cause us to have to dispose of our properties for a lower than anticipated return. To the extent we are unable to reach agreeable terms with respect to extensions or refinancings, we may not have the cash necessary to repay our debt as it matures, which could result in an event of default that could allow lenders to foreclose on the property in satisfaction of the debt, seek repayment of the full amount of the debt outstanding from us or pursue other remedies.

        Each of our loans is secured by one or more of our properties. At December 31, 2012, our notes payable interest rates ranged from 3.2% to 15%, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%. Generally, our notes payable mature at approximately two to nine years from origination and require payments of interest only for approximately two to five years, with all principal and interest due at maturity. Notes payable associated with our Northborough Tower, Frisco Square, Las Colinas Commons and Northpoint Central investments require monthly payments of both principal and interest. At December 31, 2012, our notes payable had maturity dates that ranged from December 2014 to February 2018.

        As the overall cost of borrowing increases, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our developments and property investments. This may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow. In addition, the dislocations in the debt markets have reduced the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (i) leads to a decline in real estate values generally; (ii) slows real estate transaction activity; (iii) reduces the loan to value upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and (iv) results in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due. Any of these events may have a material adverse impact on the value of real estate investments and the revenues, income or cash flow from the acquisition and operation of real properties and mortgage loans. In addition, the current state of the capital markets may continue to negatively impact our ability to raise additional equity should we decide to bring in partners on our development properties.

Credit Facility

        In February 2008, we entered into a senior secured credit facility providing for up to $75 million of secured borrowings. The initial credit facility allowed us to borrow up to $75 million in revolving loans, of which up to $20 million was available for issuing letters of credit. We unconditionally guaranteed payment of the senior secured credit facility. The availability of credit under the senior secured credit facility was limited by the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the maximum availability under the senior secured credit facility was fully utilized. Effective February 13, 2012, we reached an agreement with the lenders to extend the maturity date of the loan from February 13, 2012 to April 13, 2012. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 4%. The credit facility balance was fully repaid on May 9, 2012 with proceeds from new financings as well as cash from asset sales.

New Financing and Modification

        On May 9, 2012, we obtained new financing of $28 million secured by our Las Colinas Commons and Northpoint Central properties and used the net proceeds from the new financing, along with $8 million of our cash, to repay the senior secured credit facility in full. The five-year loan bears interest at 5.148% and requires monthly principal and interest payments based upon a 30-year amortization schedule. The loan may not be prepaid until May 8, 2013, after which it is pre-payable with yield maintenance. After February 6, 2017, the loan is pre-payable at par. The loan is nonrecourse except for customary carve-outs.

        Effective May 15, 2012, we modified and extended the loan secured by our Bent Tree Green property. The maturity date was extended to May 19, 2014, and we made a principal payment of $1 million. On October 16, 2012, we sold Bent Tree Green for a contract sales price of $12 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property.

        On May 18, 2012, we obtained new financing of $15 million secured by our 5000 S. Bowen Road property. The two year loan bore interest at LIBOR + 5.5% (with a 7% minimum rate) and required interest-only payments for the first twelve months, then monthly fixed principal payments of $60,000 plus accrued interest thereafter. The loan could be prepaid at any time subject to payment of an exit fee of $150,000, and satisfaction of interest equal to $1 million less total cumulative interest paid. The loan was nonrecourse except for customary carve-outs. On August 16, 2012, we sold our Bowen Road data center for a contract sales price of $ 25.9 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property including $0.8 million paid for yield maintenance.

        On December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors entered into an amended and restated loan agreement related to the BHFS Loan. The amended BHFS Loan matures in five years with one two-year

60

extension available if certain conditions are met. The amended BHFS Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        Also on December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors entered into a modification of the Theater Loan and the maturity date was extended to February 1, 2018 with one two-year extension available if certain conditions are met. The modified Theater Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        The Company made an aggregate $16.5 million payment to partially pay down the principal of the BHFS Loan, and the lenders released all encumbrances related to the vacant land of approximately 26 acres owned by the BHFS Entities. The BHFS Loan balance after the pay down is currently approximately $26.9 million. The current balance of the Theater Loan is approximately $4.6 million. The BHFS Loan and the Theater Loan are cross-defaulted.

        On December 27, 2012, in connection with the BHFS Loan amendment and the Theater Loan modification, the Company executed a new guaranty agreement with the lenders, which guarantees payment of principal, accrued interest and certain lender costs and expenses subject to a cap. The notional amount of the cap is $11.2 million. The guaranty cap may be reduced by voluntary principal repayments, as defined in the guaranty agreement.

        Our ability to fund our liquidity requirements is expected to come from cash and cash equivalents (which total $34.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012), new borrowings, additional borrowings that may become available under our existing loan agreements by satisfying certain terms, and proceeds from the disposition of our properties. As necessary, we may seek alternative sources of financing, including using the proceeds from the sale of our properties to achieve our investment objectives.

        As of December 31, 2012, restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet of $5.8 million included amounts set aside related to certain operating properties for tenant improvements and commission reserves, tax reserves, maintenance and capital expenditures reserves, and other amounts as may be required by our lenders.

Joint Venture Indebtedness

        We have noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership investment in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities and, therefore, they are presently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2012, the total amount of aggregate debt held by unrelated parties that was incurred by this venture was approximately $83.7 million (based upon the December 31, 2012 currency exchange).

        The table below summarizes the outstanding debt of these properties as of December 31, 2012 ($ in thousands).

Properties	Venture Ownership %			Interest Rate (as of December 31, 2012)			Carrying Amount		Maturity Date
Central Europe Joint Venture		47	%		3.06%	(1)	$	83,696		(2)

Approximately $24.7 million of the notes payable have matured and the joint venture partner is in negotiations for extensions until refinancings can be obtained. Approximately $24.4 million of the loans mature in 2013 and $34.6 million of the loans mature in 2016.

Market Outlook

        During 2012, the U.S. economic recovery, although still slow by most measures, survived uncertainties over the general election and the fiscal cliff and exhibited visible improvements in many fundamentals. One of the more important factors was the apparent stabilization of the housing sector, a sector that historically has been important in prior economic recoveries. In the second half of the year, home price indexes for the largest 20 cities in the U.S. had recovered to 2003 levels. While these are still not at pre-recession highs, these are levels that show improvement in inventories, foreclosures and distressed sales. With recent government initiatives to encourage a housing recovery, many analysts are projecting a faster pace to clear the supply of foreclosed and vacant properties. Other improvements were made in factory output, particularly autos and other durable goods, corporate profits and modest gains in employment. Regarding employment, the economy averaged 165,000 new jobs in the fourth quarter of 2012, higher than prior quarters, but because that is barely exceeding new workers entering the market, it is a level that is consistent with a slow, gradual recovery. Unemployment and underemployment numbers remain stubbornly high which is a risk for the economy.

        Offsetting these factors and likely contributors to a slower, moderate recovery are uneven private consumption, as individual savings rates continue to rise; continued decline in new business creation, as investors are reluctant to increase their risk capital; and decreases in the labor force, as the long term unemployed are not returning to the work force and may be structurally unemployed. Also, there is concern over the consequences and uncertainty related to political gridlock, which was reported as a major factor in the negative GDP report for the fourth quarter of 2012. The debate over the debt limit appears to be continuing for an extended period and risks a downgrade of U.S. credit and increased borrowing costs. The federal government has not passed a budget in the last four years and appears to be in a prolonged debate over spending and tax levels. We believe that businesses and consumers tend to be very conservative when confronted with these kinds of issues, which could disrupt what could otherwise be a stronger recovery. On a net basis, we believe the U.S. economy can overcome a certain degree of these issues, and with most analysts, we expect a moderate, but uneven U.S. growth for the near term. However, these issues have the potential to be very significant to the economy.

        If the economy continues to improve, we expect room rates for hotels to increase since demand for hotel rooms is generally correlated with growth in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Smith Travel Research indicates that the 2012 national overall occupancy rate for hospitality properties in the United States increased from 60.1% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 61.4% at the end of 2012 and the national overall Average Daily Rate increased from $101.64 in the fourth quarter of 2011 to $106.10 at the end of 2012. By contrast, we expect our office properties, to have minimal growth as employment growth has posted gains, but at a slow rate. Nationally, office vacancy fell by 60 basis points in 2012 to 15.4%. Certain office markets will continue to benefit from employment gains specific to the location and regionally based growth industries such as technology, energy and health care.

        We have several projects in various stages of development including land and condominiums. We are continuing to evaluate whether to perform any further substantive development activities on these projects in the near term. Our ability to develop is affected by market and other forces impacting the U.S. economy and the real estate industry as a whole and by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located, including the dislocations in the credit markets. Tightened underwriting standards and risk adverse capital markets have resulted in less availability and increased cost of debt financing secured by commercial real estate. These conditions have and may continue to materially affect the availability or the terms of financing that we have or may anticipate utilizing for development.

        We own a joint venture interest in a portfolio of Central European properties located in Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. The euro zone economics in contrast with the U.S. continue

62

to struggle. Europe has suffered a worse decline in output and a sharper rise in unemployment. The International Monetary Fund's economic forecasters expect the euro area's output to shrink 0.2% this year and to recover very slowly in 2014. We have [xx]% of our debt amount within the Central European portfolio that has matured or is maturing in 2013. While the European lenders indicate a willingness to forbear or offer short-term extensions, we are seeing limited availability of new debt.

•

an increase in rental revenue of $3.2 million to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to an increase in rental income of $2.4 million from our Chase Park Hotel lease and $0.6 million increase in rental revenues at our Frisco Square property; and

•

an increase in condominium sales of $1.3 million to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

We recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge related to our condominium development at Cordillera during the year ended December 31, 2011, due largely to the nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and continued through 2011. This downturn has resulted in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices.

        Impairment charge.    For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized impairment charges of $7.3 million related to Rio Salado. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado and $5.1 million related to Frisco Square. We also recorded a $1.4 million impairment related to our 50% unconsolidated joint venture in Santa Clara 800.

        Provision for loan losses.    During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $12 million provision for loan losses related to our Royal Island note receivable to record the note receivable balance to the underlying collateral value (See Note 6—Real Estate Investments for further discussion). We also recorded $0.2 million provision for loan losses related to our working capital loan to the Chase Hotel lessor. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a $5.3 million provision for loan losses related to our Royal Island note receivable to record the note receivable balance to the underlying collateral value.

During 2012, our Central Europe joint venture recorded a $5.8 million impairment related to certain assets. The Company's portion of the impairment was approximately $2.7 million, which was recorded in the Company's statement of operations through the equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item. During 2011, Royal Island recorded a $101.1 million impairment. The Company's portion of the impairment was approximately $31 million, which was recorded in the Company's statement of operations through the equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item.

        Reorganization expenses.    During the year ended during December 31, 2012, we recorded reorganization expense of $1.8 million related to Frisco Square.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010

Continuing Operations

        Revenues.    Our total revenues decreased by $24.7 million to $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $62 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The change in revenues is primarily due to:

•

decrease in condominium sales of $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 2010. We closed on the sale of 12 condominium units at Chase—The Private Residences at an average sales price of $0.7 million each during the year ended December 31, 2011. We closed on the sale of 15 condominium units at an average price of $1.9 million each at Chase—The Private Residences during the year ended December 31, 2010; and

•

no interest income from notes receivable was earned as of December 31, 2011 as compared to $6.4 million earned as of December 31, 2010. The interest income from notes receivable for the year ended December 31, 2010 is due to interest received from the Royal Island borrowers and interest earned on the Tanglewood at Voss mezzanine loan.

64

        Property Operating Expenses.    Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $13.2 million as compared to $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and were comprised of operating expenses from our consolidated properties. Our property operating expenses may fluctuate as we have asset sales.

        Cost of Condominium Sales.    Cost of condominium sales, relating to the sale of condominium units at Chase—The Private Residences, for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $9 million as compared to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We closed on the sale of 12 condominium units at Chase—The Private Residences during the year ended December 31, 2011. We closed on the sale of 15 condominium units during the year ended December 31, 2010.

        Condominium inventory impairment.    We recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge related to our condominium development at Cordillera during the year ended December 31, 2011, due largely to the nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and continued through 2011. This downturn has resulted in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices. There was $5.7 million impairment charges related to our condominium inventory for the year ended December 31, 2010.

        Impairment charge.    For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado and $5.1 million related to Frisco Square. We also recorded a $1.4 million impairment related to our 50% unconsolidated joint venture in Santa Clara 800. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized impairment charges totaling $7.6 million related to one of our office buildings located in Houston, Texas and to our 30.69% unconsolidated joint venture interest in Royal Island.

        Provision for loan losses.    During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a $5.3 million provision for loan losses related to our Royal Island note receivable to record the note receivable balance to the underlying collateral value. We also recorded a $2.5 million provision for loan losses to reflect our current estimate of potential loan loss related to the Alexan Black Mountain mezzanine loan. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a $7.1 million provision for loan losses to reflect our current estimate of potential loan loss related to the Alexan Black Mountain mezzanine loan.

        Equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures.    Our equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to the impairment of the Royal Island assets.

        Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $82.8 million and was comprised of payments on notes payable and the senior secured credit facility of $154.3 million offset by borrowings, net of financing costs, of $69.9 million. Borrowings on a note payable to a related party were $1.5 million. Cash distributions were $0.5 million and net contributions from noncontrolling

66

interest holders was $0.6 million. Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $9.9 million and consisted primarily of payments on notes payable of $30.1 million, proceeds from notes payable of $11.9 million, net borrowings on our senior secured credit facility of $7.5 million and deposits received under sales contracts of $6 million.

Funds from Operations

        Funds from operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in the April 2002 "White Paper of Funds From Operations" which is net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairments of depreciable real estate (including impairments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships which resulted from measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the joint venture or partnership), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests as one measure to evaluate our operating performance. In October 2011, NAREIT clarified the FFO definition to exclude impairment charges of depreciable real estate (including impairments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships which resulted from measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the joint venture or partnership). We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this clarification.

        Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance.

        We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairments of depreciable assets, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.

        FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions and should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Additionally, the exclusion of impairments limits the usefulness of FFO as a historical operating performance measure since an impairment charge indicates that operating performance has been permanently affected. FFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO. Our FFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs that do not define these terms in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the definition differently.

        Cash flows generated from FFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as capital expenditures and payments of principal on debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Share Redemption Program

        In February 2006, our board of directors authorized a share redemption program for stockholders who held their shares for more than one year. Under the program, our board reserved the right in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to (1) waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, disability or bankruptcy of a stockholder or other exigent circumstances, (2) reject any request for redemption, (3) change the purchase price for redemptions, or (4) terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program.

        On March 30, 2009, our board of directors voted to accept all redemption requests submitted during the first quarter of 2009 from stockholders whose requests were made on circumstances of death, disability, or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as "Exceptional Redemptions"). However, the board determined to not accept, and to suspend until further notice, redemptions other than Exceptional Redemptions.

68

        On January 10, 2011, as is customary for REITs entering the disposition phase, the board suspended the redemption program with respect to all redemption requests until further notice. Therefore, we did not redeem any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012.

        We have not presented information regarding submitted and unfulfilled redemptions during the year ended December 31, 2012 as our board of directors suspended all redemptions as of the first quarter of 2011 and we believe many stockholders who may otherwise desire to have their shares redeemed have not submitted a request due to the program's suspension.

        Any redemption requests submitted while the program is suspended will be returned to investors and must be resubmitted upon resumption of the share redemption program. If the share redemption program is resumed, we will give all stockholders notice that we are resuming redemptions, so that all stockholders will have an equal opportunity to submit shares for redemption. Upon resumption of the program, any redemption requests will be honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available. Requests will not be honored on a first come, first served basis.

Distributions

        Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our forthcoming cash needs, earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, cash on hand, general financial condition and other factors that our board deems relevant. The board's decision will be influenced, in substantial part, by its obligation to ensure that we maintain our status as a REIT. In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors discontinued regular quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from our asset sales.

        Distributions paid to stockholders have been funded through various sources, including cash flow from operating activities, proceeds raised as part of our initial public offering, reinvestment through our distribution reinvestment plan and/or additional borrowings. We had no distributions in 2012. The following summarizes certain information related to the sources of distributions in 2011 and 2010 ($ in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment, on a regular basis. These estimates will be based on management's historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

        Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

        Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Interests in entities acquired will be evaluated based on applicable GAAP, which includes the requirement to consolidate entities deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIE") in which we are the primary beneficiary. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity will be evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.

        There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity. Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A change

70

in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

Reorganization Expense

        Reorganization items are expense or income items that were incurred or realized by the Frisco Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Real Estate

        Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, identified intangible assets and liabilities and asset retirement obligations. Identified intangible assets generally consist of above-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships. Identified intangible liabilities generally consist of below-market leases. Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

        The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the "as-if-vacant" value is then allocated to land and buildings. Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management's estimates of the fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods believed to be used by market participants. The value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.

        We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain at the date of the debt assumption. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method.

        We determine the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) management's estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal options that, based on a qualitative assessment of several factors, including the financial condition of the lessee, the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, are reasonably assured to be exercised by the lessee for below-market leases. We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the determined lease term.

        The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships based on

71

our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. The aggregate value for tenant improvements and leasing commissions is based on estimates of these costs incurred at inception of the acquired leases, amortized through the date of acquisition. The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model. The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces considering current market conditions. In estimating the carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, we include such items as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period based on current market conditions. The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal fees and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

        We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The tenant relationship values are amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets or liabilities exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired lease intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense. The estimated remaining average useful lives for acquired lease intangibles range from less than one year to approximately ten years.

        Other intangible assets include the value of identified hotel trade names and in-place property tax abatements. These fair values are based on management's estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The value of the trade names is amortized over its respective estimated useful life of 20 years using the straight-line method and the value of the in-place property tax abatement is amortized over its estimated term of 10 years using the straight-line method.

Investment Impairments

        For all of our real estate and real estate related investments, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess our assets for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used; an accumulation of costs in excess of the acquisition basis plus construction of the property; major vacancies and the resulting loss of revenues; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; legitimate purchase offers and changes in the global and local markets or economic conditions. Our assets may at times be concentrated in limited geographic locations and, to the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic locations, downturns specifically related to such regions may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a portion of our properties within a short time period, which may result in asset impairments. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value. We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

72

        We also evaluate our investments in notes receivable as of each reporting date. If we believe that it is probable we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the notes, we consider the loan impaired. When evaluating loans for potential impairment, we compare the carrying amount of the loans to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or, if a loan is collateral dependent, to the estimated fair value of the related collateral net of any senior loans. For impaired loans, a provision is made for loan losses to adjust the reserve for loan losses. The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects our current estimate of loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through the provision for loan losses account on our consolidated statement of operations.

        In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, planned development and the projected sales price of each of the properties. A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.

        The value of our properties held for development depends on market conditions, including estimates of the project start date as well as estimates of future demand for the property type under development. We have analyzed trends and other information related to each potential development and incorporated this information as well as our current outlook into the assumptions we use in our impairment analyses. Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in the estimation process with respect to impairments, including the fact that limited market information regarding the value of comparable land exists at this time, it is possible actual results could differ substantially from those estimated.

        We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate assets, properties under development, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and notes receivable is currently recoverable. However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, or if our assumptions regarding expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of our assets decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, or if changes in our development strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take additional charges in future periods for impairments related to existing assets. Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Condominium Inventory

        Condominium inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair market value. In addition to land acquisition costs, land development costs, and construction costs, costs include interest and real estate taxes, which are capitalized during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction.

        For condominium inventory, at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value less costs to sell to the carrying value. An adjustment is recorded to the extent that the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value. We determine the estimated fair value of condominiums based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market conditions. This evaluation takes into consideration estimated future selling prices, costs incurred to date, estimated additional future costs, and management's plans for the property.

        The nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and has continued has resulted in reduced selling prices. As a result of our evaluations in the first quarter of 2012, we recognized a non-cash charge of $0.4 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences during the year ended December 31, 2012. This non-cash charge is classified as condominium inventory impairment charges in the accompanying

73

consolidated statement of operations. During 2012, as a result of the continuing lack of demand for condominium development, we evaluated our work in progress related to the Cordillera condominium development. As it is unlikely the Company will invest additional funds to restart the condominium development project, we determined that the investment property should be reclassified as land inventory. As a result of the change in use, we recognized a non-cash charge of $ 11.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the inventory to its fair value and reclassed $0.7 million from condominium inventory to land and $0.5 million to building as of December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011 we recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge to reduce the carrying value of our condominium development at Cordillera.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance for fair value measurements. The guidance amends existing guidance to provide common fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance during 2012 is reflected in our financial statements and footnotes.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to comprehensive income. The guidance requires registrants to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, registrants will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance during 2012 is reflected in our financial statements.

Recent Tax Legislation regarding Cost Basis Reporting

        Effective January 1, 2011, new federal income tax information reporting rules will require the "cost basis" for shares involved in certain transactions to be reported to stockholders and the Internal Revenue Service. These rules apply to all shares, including shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan, purchased on or after January 1, 2011. More specifically, upon the transfer or redemption of any shares subject to the new reporting requirements, a broker must report both the cost basis of the shares and the gain or loss recognized on the transfer or redemption of those shares to the stockholder and to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099-B. In addition, effective January 1, 2011, S-corporations will no longer be exempt from Form 1099-B reporting, and shares purchased by an S-corporation on or after January 1, 2012 will be subject to the reporting requirements described above. If we take an organizational action such as a stock split, merger, or acquisition that affects the cost basis of the shares subject to the new reporting requirements, we will report to each stockholder and the Internal Revenue Service a description of the action and the quantitative effect of that action on the cost basis of the applicable shares on an information return.

        In connection with the transfer or redemption of shares subject to the new reporting requirements (generally shares purchased on or after January 1, 2011), stockholders may identify by lot the shares that are transferred or redeemed, but shares of stockholders who do not identify specific lots in a timely manner will be transferred or redeemed on a "first in/first out" basis. Transfer statement reporting on certain transactions not otherwise subject to the reporting requirements discussed above (excluding transactions involving shares acquired before January 1, 2011) may also be required under these new rules. Transfer statements are issued between "brokers" and are not issued to stockholders or the Internal Revenue Service. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of the new information reporting rules.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

        We may be exposed to interest rate changes, primarily as a result of long-term variable rate debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments. Our management's objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt. Of our $138.9 million in notes payable including the loan secured by Becket House (classified as held for sale) at December 31, 2012, $81 million represented debt subject to variable interest rates. If our variable interest rates increased 100 basis points, we estimate that total annual interest cost, including interest expensed, interest capitalized, and the effects of the interest rate caps and swaps, would increase by approximately $0.3 million. At December 31, 2012 we have $49.4 million of our consolidated variable rate debt hedged with interest rate caps.

        At December 31, 2012, interest rate caps classified as assets were reported at their combined fair value of less than $0.1 million within prepaid expenses and other assets. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a less than $0.1 million net decrease in the fair value of our interest rate caps and swaps. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a less than $0.1 million net increase in the fair value of our interest rate caps and swaps.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        We currently have a leasehold interest in London, England that holds $0.2 million in British pound-denominated accounts at European financial institutions. We also own an approximately 47% interest in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia that holds $3.9 million in local currency-denominated accounts at European financial institutions. As the cash is held is the same currency as the real estate assets and related loans, we believe that we are not materially exposed to any significant foreign currency fluctuations related to these accounts as it relates to ongoing property operations. Material movements in the exchange rate of Euros could materially impact distributions from our foreign investments.

Inflation

        The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. However, we include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that would protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance.

Item 8.    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

        The information required by this Item 8 is included in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

75

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

        None.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of December 31, 2012, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

        We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of December 31, 2012, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal controls, as of December 31, 2012, were effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B.    Other Information.

        On February 19, 2013, Chase Park Plaza Hotel, LLC ("CPPH"), a 95% owned subsidiary of the Company that owns the Chase Park Plaza Hotel (the "Hotel"), filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary and Permanent Injunction in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri against James L. Smith, Francine V. Smith, Marcia Smith Niederinghaus, Kingsdell L.P. and CWE Hospitality Services, LLC (collectively, the "Smith Defendants") requesting the Court remove the Smith Defendants from the property and from interfering with Plaintiff and the Hotel. James L. Smith and Marcia Smith Niederinghaus indirectly owned Kingsdell, L.P., the then lessee of the Hotel, and CWE Hospitality Services, LLC, the then management company and operator of the Hotel. CPPH alleged, among other things, that James L. Smith utilized Hotel operating funds to pay his and his wife's personal income taxes in excess of $434,000. The Temporary Restraining Order was granted on February 19, 2013 and is in place until May 22, 2013.

76

        Also on February 19, 2013, we terminated the hotel operating lease with Kingsdell, L.P., formed a wholly owned entity to lease the Hotel, terminated CWE Hospitality Services, LLC as the Hotel's management company, and engaged a third party management company to manage the Hotel.

        The Preliminary Injunction is scheduled for hearing along with the Smith Defendants' Motion to Dissolve the Injunction on May 22, 2013. On March 22, 2013, the Smith Defendants filed counterclaims asserting breaches of the parties' agreements, conversion of their property, and computer tampering in connection with CPPH taking control of the Hotel and seeking unspecified damages.

        We intend to vigorously prosecute our claims against the Smith Defendants. We do not believe that the counterclaims made by the Smith Defendants have merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

PART III

Item 10.    Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

Directors

        Because our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing our management, they must demonstrate broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, concern for the long-term interests of our stockholders, and personal integrity and judgment. In addition, our directors must have time available to devote to board activities and to enhance their knowledge of our industry. As described further below, we believe our directors have the appropriate mix of experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills required of our board members in the context of the current needs of our company.

Robert S. Aisner, 66, served as our Chief Executive Officer from June 2008 through January 2012, as our President from our inception in November 2004 through January 2012, and one of our directors since our inception.

From 1994 until 1996, Mr. Aisner owned and operated Regents Management, Inc., which had both a multifamily development and construction group and a general commercial property management group.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires each director, officer, and individual beneficially owning more than 10% of a registered security of the Company to file with the SEC, within specified time frames, initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock of the Company. These specified time frames require the reporting of changes in ownership within two business days of the transaction giving rise to the reporting obligation.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 or written representations that no additional forms were required, to the best of our knowledge, all required Section 16(a) filings were timely and correctly made by reporting persons during 2012.

Code of Ethics

        Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct Policy that is applicable to all members of our board of directors, our executive officers and employees of our Advisor and its affiliates. We have posted the policy on the website maintained for us atwww.behringerharvard.com. If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in the Code of Business Conduct Policy, we may, rather than filing a Current Report on Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by promptly posting such information on the website maintained for us as necessary.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

        The Audit Committee consists of independent directors Terry L. Gage, the chairman, Barbara C. Bufkin and Steven J. Kaplan. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Gage is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined by the rules of the SEC. The biography of Mr. Gage, including his relevant qualifications, is previously described in this Item 10. Our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange and therefore our audit committee members are not subject to the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or any other national securities exchange. However, each member of our audit committee is "independent" as defined by the NYSE.

Item 11.    Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        We do not directly compensate our named executive officers, nor do we reimburse our Advisor for compensation paid to our named executive officers for services rendered to us. Our executive officers also are officers of Behringer Opportunity Advisors I, our Advisor, and its affiliates, and are compensated by an affiliate of Behringer Harvard Holdings for their services to us, as well as for their services to other Behringer Harvard entities. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement, as amended, we pay certain management fees to our Advisor and its affiliates to compensate the Advisor for the services it provides in our day-to-day management. In addition, we reimburse certain expenses of the Advisor and its affiliates, including reimbursement for the costs of salaries and benefits of certain of their employees. Reimbursement for the costs of salaries and benefits of our Advisor's employees relate to compensation paid to our Advisor's employees that provide services to us such as accounting, administrative or legal, for which our Advisor or its affiliates are not entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. A description of the fees that we pay to our Advisor and other affiliates is found in Item 13 below. We, therefore, do not have, nor has our board of directors or compensation committee considered a compensation policy or program for our executive officers, and thus we have not included a Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        If we determine to compensate our named executive officers in the future, the Compensation Committee will review all forms of compensation and approve all stock option grants, warrants, stock appreciation rights and other current or deferred compensation payable with respect to the current or future value of our shares.

Directors' Compensation

        We pay each of our directors who is not an employee of the Company, the Advisor, or their affiliates an annual retainer of $30,000. In addition, we pay the chairperson of the Audit Committee an annual retainer of $10,000 and the chairpersons of our Nominating and Compensation Committees annual retainers of $5,000 each. These retainers are payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, we pay each non-employee director (a) $1,500 for each board of directors or committee meeting attended in person or by telephone if the director is at least 300 miles from the site of the meeting, (b) $750 for all

81

other board of directors or committee meetings attended by telephone, and (c) $750 for each written consent considered by the director. All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors.

        Under our 2004 Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan (the "Incentive Award Plan"), each non-employee director, prior to March 25, 2013 was automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the date he or she first becomes a director and upon each person's reelection as a director. The board of directors determined the fair market value of our shares under the Incentive Award Plan. Options granted prior to 2008 have an exercise price of $9.10 per share, options granted in 2008 have an exercise price of $9.50 per share, options granted in 2009 have an exercise price of $8.17, options granted in 2010 have an exercise price of $8.03, options granted in 2011 have an exercise price of $7.66 per share, and options granted in 2012 have an exercise price of $4.12. Options granted to non-employee directors prior to 2008 pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan became exercisable for a period of one year as to 25% of the original option grant during each of 2010 and 2011 and at the end of such year any unexercised options expired. The remaining 50% of the original option grant became exercisable during 2012 and at the end of 2012 any unexercised options expired. Options granted to non-employee directors in 2008 and after pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan became fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

        On March 25, 2013, our board of directors, upon voted to amend the Incentive Award Plan to eliminate the automatic option grant to non-employee directors upon election or re-election to the board of directors.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

        We do not currently have written formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. Under that definition, transactions with related persons are transactions in which we were or are a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related parties include any executive officers, directors, director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our voting securities, immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed and in which such person has 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

        However, in order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to (1) transactions we enter into with our Advisor and its affiliates, (2) certain future offerings, and (3) allocation of investment opportunities among affiliated entities. As a general rule, any related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction. In determining whether to approve or authorize a particular related party transaction, these persons will consider whether the transaction between us and the related party is fair and reasonable to us and has terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Transactions with Related Persons

        Since our inception, the Advisor or its predecessors have been responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for, among other things, identifying and making acquisitions, dispositions, asset management decisions, loan refinancings and other investments on our behalf. Our relationship with the Advisor, including the fees paid by us to the Advisor or the reimbursement of expenses by us for amounts paid, or incurred by the Advisor, on our behalf is governed by an advisory management agreement that has been in place since September 20, 2005 and amended at various times thereafter.

        On December 20, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our advisory management agreement pursuant to which the annual asset management fee payable by us to the Advisor was reduced from 0.75% to 0.60% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets effective January 1, 2012 and renewed the advisory management agreement, as amended, through December 31, 2012. On December 14, 2012, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (the "Second Amendment") pursuant to which, effective January 1, 2013, the annual asset management fee payable by us to the Advisor was reduced from 0.60% to 0.575% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets and no asset management fee is payable to the Advisor related to Alexan Black Mountain and Royal Island. Also on December 14, 2012, we renewed the advisory agreement, as amended, through December 31, 2013. Other than as described above, the terms of the advisory management agreement remain unchanged.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I received an annual asset management fee of 0.60% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets. The fee is payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.60% of the aggregate asset value as of the last day of the month. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $3.3 million of asset management fees. Amounts include asset management fees from discontinued operations.

        Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, or its affiliates, receives acquisition and advisory fees of 2.5% of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of

85

real property or 2.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $0.1 million in acquisition and advisory fees.

        Under the advisory management agreement, the debt financing fee paid to the Advisor for a Loan (as defined in the agreement) will be 1% of the loan commitment amount. Amounts due to the Advisor for a Revised Loan (as defined in the agreement) will be 40 basis points of the loan commitment amount for the first year of any extension (provided the extension is for at least 120 days), an additional 30 basis points for the second year of an extension, and another 30 basis points for the third year of an extension in each case, prorated for any extension period less than a full year. The maximum debt financing fee for any extension of three or more years is 1% of the loan commitment amount. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $0.5 million in debt financing fees.

        We reimburse Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I or its affiliates for all expenses paid or incurred by them in connection with the services they provide to us, including direct expenses and the costs of salaries and benefits of persons employed by those entities and performing services for us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse for any amount by which our Advisor's operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date reimbursement is sought exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets or (2) 25% of our net income for that four quarter period other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and any gain from the sale of our assets for that period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, we may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The salaries and benefits that we reimburse to our Advisor exclude the salaries and benefits that our Advisor or its affiliates may pay to our named executive officers. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred costs for administrative services totaling $1.8 million.

        We pay our property manager and affiliate of the Advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Management Services, LLC or its affiliates (collectively, "BH Property Management"), fees for management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties. Such fees are equal to 4.5% of gross revenues plus leasing commissions based upon the customary leasing commission applicable to the same geographic location of the respective property. In the event that we contract directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager in respect of a property, we will pay BH Property Management an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of gross revenues of the property managed. In no event will we pay both a property management fee and an oversight fee to BH Property Management with respect to any particular property. In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay BH Property Management directly for its services, we will pay BH Property Management a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property. In the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred property management fees or oversight fees of $0.9 million.

        On March 29, 2011, we obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge our short-term liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan bears interest at a rate of 5% and has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) March 29, 2013, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory management agreement, or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement. The balance on the loan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.5 million. On March 25, 2013, we fully paid the loan and the accrued interest.

        At December 31, 2012, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $2.9 million. This balance consists of accrued fees, including asset management fees, administrative service expenses, debt financing fees, acquisition fees, property management fees, a loan of $1.5 million and other miscellaneous costs payable to Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management. At December 31, 2011, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $5.8 million.

86

        We are dependent on Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

        On September 26, 2011, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, entered into a lease agreement with Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., a real estate investment program sponsored by our sponsor Behringer Harvard Holdings LLC, to lease approximately 14,500 rentable square feet at Bent Tree Green to Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc. The lease commenced on December 1, 2011 for a 66-month term (the first six months of which are free rent) with scheduled rent increases every 12 months. Our management and board of directors determined that the lease was fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to us than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties for comparable transactions or services in the same location. On October 16, 2012, we sold Bent Tree Green to an unaffiliated third party and are no longer the lessor to Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc.

Independence

        Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange and therefore our board of directors is not subject to the independence requirements of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange, our board has evaluated whether our directors are "independent" as defined by the NYSE. The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us).

        Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board has determined that the majority of the members of our board, and each member of our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee, is "independent" as defined by the NYSE.

Item 14.    Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since September 2, 2005. Our management believes that it is knowledgeable about our operations and accounting practices and well qualified to act as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit-related fees consisted of professional services performed in connection with the audit of historical financial statements for property acquisitions and Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 advisory services.

⁽³⁾

Tax fees consist principally of assistance with matters related to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

        The Audit Committee considers the provision of these services to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        The Audit Committee must approve any fee for services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in advance of the service being performed. For proposed projects using the services of our independent registered public accounting firm that are expected to cost under $100,000, the Audit Committee will be provided information to review and must approve each project prior to commencement of any work. For proposed projects using the services of our independent registered public accounting firm that are expected to cost up to $100,000, the Audit Committee will be provided with a detailed explanation of what is being included, and asked to approve a maximum amount for specifically identified services in each of the following categories: (a) audit fees; (b) audit-related fees; (c) tax fees; and (d) all other fees for any services allowed to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. If additional amounts are needed, the Audit Committee must approve the increased amounts prior to the previously approved maximum being reached and before the work may continue. Approval by the Audit Committee may be made at its regularly scheduled meetings or as permitted by our Bylaws, including by telephonic or other electronic communications. We will report the status of the various types of approved services and fees, and cumulative amounts paid and owed, to the Audit Committee on a regular basis.

        The Audit Committee approved all of the services provided by, and fees paid to, Deloitte & Touche during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.
Addison, Texas

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Organization

Organization

        Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. (which may be referred to as the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") was incorporated in November 2004 as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes.

        We operate commercial real estate or real estate-related assets located in and outside the United States on an opportunistic basis. In particular, we have focused on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, or those located in markets and submarkets with higher volatility, lower barriers to entry, and high growth potential. We have acquired a wide variety of properties, including office, retail, hospitality, recreation and leisure, multifamily, and other properties. We have purchased existing and newly constructed properties and properties under development or construction, including multifamily properties. As of December 31, 2012, we wholly owned six properties and consolidated four properties through investments in joint ventures, including one classified as asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. We also have noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that are accounted for using the equity method. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP, a Texas limited partnership organized in November 2004 ("Behringer Harvard OP I"), or subsidiaries thereof. Our wholly owned subsidiary, BHO, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owns less than a 0.1% interest in Behringer Harvard OP I as its sole general partner. The remaining interest of Behringer Harvard OP I is held as a limited partnership interest by our wholly owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust, a Maryland business trust.

        We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, LLC, a Texas limited liability company formed in June 2007 ("Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I" or the "Advisor"). Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions, dispositions and investments on our behalf.

Presentation of Financial Statements

        Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as we proceed through our disposition phase. As is usual for opportunity style real estate investment programs, we are structured as a finite life entity, and have entered the final phase of operations. This phase includes the selling of our assets, retiring our liabilities, and distributing net proceeds to stockholders. We have experienced significant losses and may generate negative cash flows as mortgage note obligations and expenses exceed revenues. If we are unable to sell a property when we determine to do so, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flows that are necessary to meet our mortgage obligations and to satisfy our other liabilities in the normal course of business.

        Our ability to continue as a going concern is, therefore, dependent upon our ability to sell real estate investments, to pay down debt as it matures if extensions or new financings are unavailable, and our ability to fund ongoing costs of our Company including our development and operating properties.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings—Frisco Debtors

        On June 13, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), the special purpose entity Behringer Harvard Frisco Square, LP, along with our indirect subsidiaries BHFS I, LLC, BHFS II, LLC, BHFS III, LLC, BHFS IV, LLC and BHFS Theater, LLC (collectively, the "Frisco Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 Cases pertain only to the Frisco Debtors, neither the Company nor any of its other wholly owned subsidiaries or joint ventures, either consolidated or unconsolidated, have sought such protection.

        The Frisco Debtors operated as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Joint Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan") which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed by order of the Bankruptcy court entered on December 20, 2012. On December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors modified and extended their mortgage debt. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on December 27, 2012, new equity interests were issued and as a result, the reorganized Frisco Debtors wholly own the Frisco Square property. As the material conditions to the Reorganization Plan were completed on December 27, 2012, we included the effects of the Reorganization Plan in our financial statements as of December 27, 2012. On January 2, 2013 the Bankruptcy Court issued an order declaring the Reorganization Plan effective.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts, and allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

        Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Interests in entities acquired will be evaluated based on applicable GAAP, which includes the requirement to consolidate entities deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIE") in which we are the primary beneficiary. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity will be evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement. In the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, except for per share amounts, all dollar and share amounts in tabulation are in thousands of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity. Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

        We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate

        Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. These assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of buildings, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations. Identified intangible assets generally consist of the above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships. Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

        We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

        The fair value of any tangible assets acquired, consisting of land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the "as-if-vacant" value is then allocated to the tangible assets. Land values are derived from appraisals and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management's estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment values are determined based on current reproduction or replacement cost less depreciation and other estimated allowances based on physical, functional, or economic factors. The values of the buildings are depreciated over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from 25 years for commercial office property to 39 years for hotel/mixed-use property using the straight-line method. Building improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 7 to 25 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the term of the respective leases. Land improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 15 years, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging

F-10

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

from five to seven years using the straight-line method. Our leasehold interest is depreciated over its remaining contractual life, or approximately 99 years.

        We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) management's estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal options that, based on a qualitative assessment of several factors, including the financial condition of the lessee, the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, are reasonably assured to be exercised by the lessee for below-market leases. We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the determined lease term.

        The total value of identified real estate intangible assets for acquired properties is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model. The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces considering current market conditions. In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions. The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs, and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

        We amortize the value of in-place leases acquired to expense over the term of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated remaining useful lives for acquired lease intangibles range from less than one year to approximately ten years.

        Other intangible assets include the value of identified hotel trade names and in-place property tax abatements. These fair values are based on management's estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The value of the trade names is amortized over its respective estimated useful life of 20 years using the straight-line method and the value of the in-place property tax abatement is amortized over its estimated term of ten years using the straight-line method.

Condominium Inventory

        Condominium inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair market value, and consists of land acquisition costs, land development costs, construction costs, interest and real estate taxes, which are capitalized during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. At December 31, 2012, condominium inventory consisted of $6.5 million of finished units related to our condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences. As of December 31, 2011, condominium inventory consisted of $16.9 million of finished units related to our condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and $12.9 million of work in progress related to Cordillera. In February 2011, we received $14.7 million related to the monetization of State of Missouri historic tax credits on the redevelopment of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel located in St. Louis, Missouri, which was recorded as a reduction of our condominium inventory. The proceeds from these historic tax credits were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan.

        For condominium inventory, at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value less costs to sell to the carrying value. An adjustment is recorded to the extent that the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value. We determine the estimated fair value of condominiums based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market

conditions. This evaluation takes into consideration estimated future selling prices, costs incurred to date, estimated additional future costs, and management's plans for the property.

        The nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 has resulted in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices. As a result of our evaluations in the first quarter of 2012, we recognized a non-cash charge of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences to current market prices. During 2012, as a result of the continuing lack of demand for condominium development, we evaluated our work in progress related to The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera ("Cordillera") condominium development. As it is unlikely the Company will invest additional funds to restart the condominium development project, we determined that the investment property should be reclassified as land inventory. As a result of the change in use, we recognized a non-cash charge of $11.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the inventory to its fair value and reclassed $0.7 million from condominium inventory to land and $0.5 million to building as of December 31, 2012. We recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and a non-cash charge of $4 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the condominium development at Cordillera. Both of these non-cash charges are classified as condominium inventory impairment charges in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. We recognized a non-cash charge of $5.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 to reduce the carrying value of the condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences. In the event that market conditions continue to decline in the future or the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations, additional adjustments may be necessary.

Real Estate Held for Sale

        We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met, in accordance with GAAP. We present the assets and obligations of a property held for sale separately on our consolidated balance sheet, and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2012, our Becket House property was classified as held for sale. We had no properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        We consider investments in highly-liquid money market funds or investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

        As required by our lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other reserves for our consolidated properties.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable primarily consist of straight-line rental revenue receivables of $6.8 million and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and receivables from our hotel operators and tenants related to our other consolidated properties of $1.8 million and $2.3 million as of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

        Prepaid expenses and other assets include prepaid directors' and officers' insurance, prepaid advertising, the fair value of certain derivative instruments, as well as inventory, prepaid insurance, and real estate taxes of our consolidated properties. Inventory consists of food, beverages, linens, glassware, china, and silverware and is carried at the lower of cost or market value.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

        Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals or improvements to such assets are capitalized. Accumulated depreciation associated with our furniture, fixtures, and equipment was $12.2 million and $10.2 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Chapter 11 Filings—Frisco Debtors

        Consolidation of Real Estate in Bankruptcy—On June 13, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We continued to consolidate the balance sheets and operations of the Frisco Debtors. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Reorganization Plan, which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed on December 20, 2012, allowing the Frisco Debtors to emerge from bankruptcy.

        Reorganization Expense—Reorganization items are expense or income items that were incurred or realized by the Frisco Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Investment Impairment

        For all of our real estate and real estate related investments, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess our assets for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant change in the manner in which the asset is being used; an accumulation of costs in excess of the acquisition basis plus construction of the property; major vacancies and the resulting loss of revenues; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; legitimate purchase offers and changes in the global and local markets or economic conditions. Our assets may at times be concentrated in limited geographic locations and, to the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic locations, downturns specifically related to such regions may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a portion of our properties within a short time period, which may result in asset impairments. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset. These projected cash flows are prepared internally by the Advisor and reflect in place and projected leasing activity, market revenue and expense growth rates, market capitalization rates, discount rates, and changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The Company's Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer review these projected cash flows to assure that the valuation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

is prepared using reasonable inputs and assumptions that are consistent with market data or with assumptions that would be used by a third party market participant and assume the highest and best use of the investment. We consider trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

        We also evaluate our investments in notes receivable as of each reporting date. If we believe that it is probable we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the notes, we consider the loan impaired. When evaluating loans for potential impairment, we compare the carrying amount of the loans to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or, if a loan is collateral dependent, to the estimated fair value of the related collateral net of any senior loans. For impaired loans, a provision is made for loan losses to adjust the reserve for loan losses. The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects our current estimate of loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through the provision for loan losses account on our consolidated statement of operations.

        In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, planned development and the projected sales price of each of the properties. A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.

        We also evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at each reporting date. If we believe there is an other than temporary decline in market value, we will record an impairment charge based on these evaluations. We assess potential impairment by comparing our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated by the joint venture over the life of the joint venture's assets to the carrying amount of the joint venture. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the joint venture to its estimated fair value.

        The value of our properties held for development depends on market conditions, including estimates of the project start date, as well as estimates of future demand for the property type under development. We have analyzed trends and other information related to each potential development and incorporated this information, as well as our current outlook, into the assumptions we use in our impairment analyses. Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in the estimation process with respect to impairments, including the fact that limited market information regarding the value of comparable land exists at this time, it is possible actual results could differ substantially from those estimated.

        We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate assets, properties under development, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and notes receivable is currently recoverable. However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, or if our assumptions regarding expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of our assets decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, or if changes in our development strategy significantly affect any key assumptions

used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take additional charges in future periods for impairments related to existing assets. Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Deferred Financing Fees

        Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized to interest income for notes receivable and interest expense for notes payable using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.2 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

        Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks and to minimize the variability caused by foreign currency translation risk related to our net investment in foreign real estate. To accomplish these objectives, we use various types of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate of LIBOR. These instruments include LIBOR-based interest rate swaps and caps. For our net investments in foreign real estate, we may use foreign exchange put/call options to eliminate the impact of foreign currency exchange movements on our financial position.

        We measure our derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value and record them as an asset or liability, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged items are recorded in earnings. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivatives are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the foreign currency translation gain or loss. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

        As of December 31, 2012, we do not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges, nor are derivatives being used for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

        For our international investments where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while the statement of operations amounts are translated using the average exchange rates for the respective period. Differences arising from the translation of assets and liabilities in comparison with the translation of the previous periods

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

or from initial recognition during the period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

        The British pound is the functional currency for our Becket House investment operating in London, England and the Euro is the functional currency for the operations of our Central Europe Joint Venture. We also maintain Euro-denominated bank accounts that are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at each reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statements of equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment was a loss of $0.2 million, a loss of $0.8 million and a gain of $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), which is reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of equity, consists of gains and losses affecting equity that are excluded from net income (loss) under GAAP. The components of AOCI consist of foreign currency translation gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as hedges.

Revenue Recognition

        We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rental revenue of $0.8 million, $0.7 million, and $1.1 million was recognized in rental revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Hotel revenue is derived from the operations of The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera and consists of guest room, food and beverage, and other revenue, and is recognized as the services are rendered.

        Revenues from the sales of condominiums are recognized when sales are closed and title passes to the new owner, the new owner's initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the condominium, the new owner's receivable is not subject to future subordination, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the new condominium. Amounts received prior to closing on sales of condominiums are recorded as deposits in our financial statements.

        We recognize interest income from notes receivable on an accrual basis over the life of the loan using the interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. We will stop accruing interest on loans when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest of the loan. In the event that we stop accruing interest on a loan, we will generally not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received or we make the decision to restart interest accrual on the loan.

Income Taxes

        We elected to be taxed, and qualified, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), beginning with the year ended December 31, 2006. We are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code,

F-17

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level except for the operations of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries. We have two taxable REIT subsidiaries that own and/or provide management and development services to certain of our investments in real estate and real estate under development.

        We have reviewed our tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarifies the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that the tax positions taken relative to our status as a REIT will be sustained in any tax examination. In addition, we believe that it is more likely than not that the tax positions taken relative to the taxable REIT subsidiaries will be sustained in any tax examination.

        On May 18, 2006, the State of Texas enacted a law which replaced the existing state franchise tax with a "margin tax," effective January 1, 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, we recognized a current and deferred tax provision of $0.2 million related to the Texas margin tax.

        Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally because of differences in the timing of recognition of depreciation, rental revenue, compensation expense, impairment losses and gain from sales of property. As a result of these differences, the tax basis of our fixed assets exceeds the book value by $136.1 million at December 31, 2012 and $116.1 million at December 31, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

        We have a stock-based incentive award plan for our directors and consultants and for employees, directors, and consultants of our affiliates. Awards are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant with fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, which incorporates assumptions surrounding volatility, dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, expected life, and the exercise price as compared to the underlying stock price on the grant date. The tax benefits associated with these share-based payments are classified as financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, we had no significant cost related to our incentive award plan.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

Noncontrolling Interest

        Noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling ownership interest's proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments. Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based on their ownership percentage.

Reportable Segments

        We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to the ownership, development and management of real estate assets. Our income producing properties generated 100% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an individual property level. Therefore, our properties are aggregated into one reportable segment.

Earnings per Share

        Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. As of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, we had options to purchase 75,000, 79,792, and 74,688 shares of common stock outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $7.50, $8.53, and $8.78, respectively. These options are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance for fair value measurements. The guidance amends existing guidance to provide common fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance during 2012 is reflected in our financial statements and footnotes.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to comprehensive income. The guidance requires registrants to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, registrants will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance during 2012 is reflected in our financial statements.

4. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

        Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions

F-19

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

4. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value (Continued)

about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy) has been established.

        Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

        Currently, we use interest rate swaps and caps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities, and foreign currency exchange rates.

        We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

December 31, 2012	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:

        We have recorded non-cash impairment charges related to a reduction in the fair value of certain of our assets. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized condominium inventory impairment charges of $11.7 million and $0.4 million related to The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera and Chase—The Private Residences, respectively (see Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Condominium Inventory for further discussion). We also recorded a $7.3 million impairment charge related to Rio Salado based upon a signed purchase and sale agreement. We recorded a $12 million provision for loan loss related to our notes receivable from Royal Island to reduce the note to the underlying collateral value (see Note 6 Real Estate Investments—Real Estate Acquisitions—Royal Island for further information). We recorded impairment charges of $1.3 million related to our Bent Tree Green office building which was determined based on the expected sale price specified in the executed sale agreement. The Bent Tree Green property was sold during 2012 and accordingly these charges have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado and $5.1 million related to Frisco Square. We also recorded a $1.4 million impairment related to our 50% unconsolidated joint venture in Santa Clara 800. In addition, we recorded impairment charges of $5.2 million related to two of our Houston properties. Both properties were sold during 2011 and accordingly these charges have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2011. We recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase—The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge related to our condominium development at Cordillera during the year ended December 31, 2011.

        The inputs used to calculate the fair value of these assets included projected cash flows and a risk-adjusted rate of return that we estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement. The capitalization rate ranges and discount rate ranges were obtained from third-party service providers, and the capitalization rate ranges were gathered for specific metro areas and applied on a property-by-property basis. These fair value estimates are considered Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy described above.

As a result of the change in use, we recognized a non-cash charge of $11.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the inventory and reclassified $0.7 million from condominium inventory to land and $0.5 million to building as of December 31, 2012.

5. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

        We determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, payables/receivables from related parties, and distributions payable were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly liquid nature and/or short-term maturities and the carrying value of notes receivable reasonably approximated fair value based on expected interest rates for notes to similar borrowers with similar terms and remaining maturities.

        The notes payable totaling $164.2 million, including the loan secured by Becket House (classified as held for sale) and $265.9 million as December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have a fair value of approximately $163.8 million and $265.4 million, respectively, based upon interest rates for mortgages with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain. Interest rate swaps and caps are recorded at their respective fair values in prepaid expenses and other assets. The fair value of the notes payable is categorized as a Level 2 basis. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

        The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to our management as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Although our management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those respective dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

6. Real Estate Investments

        As of December 31, 2012, we wholly owned six properties and consolidated four properties through investments in joint ventures, including one classified as asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. In addition, we have noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that are accounted for using the equity method. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses of these properties are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable partnership agreement.

We consolidated Royal Island as of June 6, 2012 when we obtained all of the outstanding shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited. A third party indirectly owns 12.71% of Royal Island.

        We have recorded non-cash impairment charges related to a reduction in the fair value of certain of our real estate assets. See Note 4 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value—Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Real Estate Asset Acquisitions

Royal Island

        In May 2007, for an initial cash investment of $20 million, we acquired an approximate 31% limited partnership interest in a partnership ("Royal Island Partnership") that was developing a resort hotel, spa, golf course, marina, and residences on three islands located in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas ("Royal Island").

        In December 2007, we participated in a bridge loan financing arrangement for the continuing development and construction of Royal Island. The aggregate principal amount available under the bridge loan was $60 million, consisting of three tranches. Under the bridge loan, we agreed to lend a tranche of up to $40 million, which was subordinate to the other two tranches. The bridge loan accrued

F-25

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

6. Real Estate Investments (Continued)

interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 8% per annum with accrued interest and principal payable at the maturity date of December 20, 2008, and was secured by the Royal Island. In June 2009, we purchased the interest in the first of the two superior tranches, the A-1 tranche, for $3.1 million. In March 2010, we purchased the interest in two notes in the A-2 tranche for $2.2 million.

        Under the terms of the loan documents, the bridge loan could have been extended once for a period of six months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions upon notice given by the borrower by November 20, 2008 and a payment of an extension fee. At the maturity date, not all of the conditions were satisfied, and as a result, the bridge loan went into default and became a non-performing loan. The balance owed to us at the time of default was $37.7 million, including accrued interest and fees. In accordance with GAAP, from the time the loan went into default until the time that a foreclosure occurs, a satisfactory workout is completed, or the loan is reinstated by the borrower, we did not recognize interest income on the loan.

        In January 2010, we collected $5.5 million, which was applied to unpaid interest and fees from the borrower, pursuant to the terms of the bridge loan agreement.

        On September 14, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the borrower pursuant to which, among other things, the borrower agreed not to contest or oppose any foreclosure, exercise of power of sale, or similar action that we may seek in order to protect our investment. Further, the borrower agreed to fully cooperate to expedite the proceedings should we take such a course of action. The forbearance period expired on May 27, 2011.

        In January 2011, pursuant to a settlement agreement with Shannon B. Skokos and Theodore C. Skokos (the "Skokoses") related to a lawsuit filed in December 2008, a new joint venture was created among Behringer Harvard RI Lender, LLC, Behringer Harvard RI A-1 Lender, LLC, and the Skokoses to own all of the outstanding notes related to Royal Island (the "Royal Island Debt Partnership"). Each lender contributed its respective note in exchange for a pro rata ownership interest in the joint venture, which resulted in our owning approximately 87% of Royal Island Debt Partnership. As part of this settlement, the Skokos $7 million note was contributed to the partnership in exchange for a 13% ownership interest in the Royal Island Debt Partnership.

        In the second quarter of 2011, the long-lived assets of Royal Island were evaluated for impairment due to an impairment indicator associated with significant changes to the development and construction plans. As a result of this assessment, it was determined that the net book value could not be recovered through future cash flows based on the then revised development plan. Therefore, Royal Island Partnership recorded an impairment charge of approximately $101 million to bring the assets (which now primarily consist of land) to their fair value. Our portion of the impairment was approximately $31 million, which was recorded in our statement of operations through the equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item. The equity method losses exceeded the investment balance in the Royal Island Partnership. As a result, our investment was reduced to zero during the second quarter of 2011 and has remained zero since. In accordance with GAAP, equity method losses that exceed our investment balance are recorded against the basis of other investments we had in Royal Island. As such, the excess equity method losses of $22.7 million were recorded as a reduction in our note receivable through the equity in losses for unconsolidated joint ventures. Additionally, we recorded $5.3 million as provision for loan losses against the allowance to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral.

        On March 22, 2012, we executed an Agreement Regarding Transfer with the borrowers and guarantors of our Royal Island note receivable. Under the agreement, we would obtain all of the outstanding shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited, a parent company of the Royal Island borrowers and a subsidiary of the Royal Island Partnership, for, among other things, the release of the guarantors from their guarantees under the Royal Island notes receivable. A valuation of the long-lived assets of Royal Island indicated that our note receivable had been further impaired and we recorded a $6 million provision for loan loss to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral during the quarter ending June 30, 2012. On June 6, 2012, we completed the transaction and the remaining shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited were transferred to us, and we gained control of the property. As part of the transaction whereby we obtained the shares in Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited, we have taken on the assets and liabilities of the Royal Island subsidiary partnerships, which include $7.7 million of other liabilities for deposits paid by third party purchasers for lots. We are currently in negotiations with those lot holders to settle the outstanding deposits. The net assets we received at the close of the transfer transaction were $18 million, and as a result we recorded an additional $6 million of provision for loan losses to further reduce the note receivable to the collateral received at the close of the transaction. As we now have control of the property, we have consolidated Royal Island and the note receivable between the Company and Royal Island is eliminated as an intercompany transaction on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

        Royal Island contributed a net loss of $2.6 million to our consolidated statements of operations for the period from June 6, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2011:

	Pro Forma for the Twelve Months Ended December 31,

Net loss	$	(56,046	)	$	(98,013	)
Net loss per share	$	(0.99	)	$	(1.74	)

        These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of Royal Island to reflect additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to the tangible and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2011. Included in the pro forma net loss for both the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million.

        We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at each reporting date. If we believe there is an other than temporary decline in market value, we will record an impairment charge based on these evaluations. We assess potential impairment by comparing our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated by the joint venture over the life of the joint venture's assets to the carrying amount of the joint venture. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the joint venture to its estimated fair value.

        For the year ending December 31, 2012, our Central Europe joint venture recorded impairment charges of $5.8 million to bring certain assets to their fair value. The Company's portion of the impairment was $2.7 million, which was recorded in the Company's statement of operations through equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item.

        We evaluated our 50% unconsolidated investment in Santa Clara 800 due to a change in the hold period of the investment. Based upon a purchase offer, we recorded an impairment of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. On May 4, 2012, we sold Santa Clara 800 for a contract sales price of $12.4 million to an unaffiliated third party.

        On December 8, 2011 our GrandMarc at Westberry investment was sold. Proceeds of $7.7 million were distributed to us which reduced our investment to zero as of December 31, 2011. The investee reported a gain of $5.8 million on this transaction.

        In the second quarter of 2011, the long-lived assets of the Royal Island Partnership were evaluated for impairment due to an impairment indicator associated with significant changes to the development and construction plans of the Royal Island property. As a result of this assessment, it was determined that the net book value could not be recovered through future cash flows based on the then revised development plan. Therefore, Royal Island Partnership recorded an impairment charge of approximately $101 million to bring the assets (which primarily consist of land) to their fair value. The Company's portion of the impairment was approximately $31 million, which was recorded in the Company's statement of operations through the equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures line item. The equity method losses exceeded the investment balance in the Royal Island Partnership. As a result, the Company's investment was reduced to zero during the second quarter of 2011 and remained zero as of December 31, 2011. In accordance with GAAP, equity method losses that exceed our investment balance are recorded against the basis of other investments the investor had in Royal Island. As such, the excess equity method losses of $22.7 million were recorded as a reduction in our note receivable through the equity in losses for unconsolidated joint ventures. Additionally, we recorded $5.3 million as provision for loan losses against the allowance to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized an impairment charge related to our unconsolidated investment in Royal Island for $6.3 million.

        On March 22, 2012, we executed an Agreement Regarding Transfer with the borrowers and guarantors of our Royal Island note receivable. Under the agreement, we would obtain all of the outstanding shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited, a parent company of the Royal Island borrowers and a subsidiary of the Royal Island Partnership, for, among other things, the release of the guarantors from their guarantees under the Royal Island notes receivable. On June 6, 2012, we completed the transaction and the remaining shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited were transferred to us, and we now have control of the property. As we now have control of the property,

we have consolidated Royal Island and the note receivable between the Company and Royal Island is eliminated as an intercompany transaction on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

Held for Sale

        We had one property classified as held for sale at December 31, 2012 and none at December 31, 2011. See Note 17—Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale for more details.

7. Variable Interest Entities

        GAAP requires the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

        Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership and/or (2) loans provided by us to a VIE, or other partner. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE's executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other partner(s), and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs.

Tanglewood at Voss and Alexan Black Mountain

        In 2006, we agreed to provide secured mezzanine financing with an aggregate principal amount of up to $13 million and $ 9.7 million to unaffiliated third-party entities that owned multifamily communities under development, Tanglewood at Voss and Alexan Black Mountain, respectively. These entities also obtained construction loans with third-party lenders, with an aggregate principal amount of up to $68.6 million. Our mezzanine loans were subordinate to the construction loans. In addition, we entered into option agreements allowing us to purchase the ownership interests in Tanglewood at Voss and Alexan Black Mountain after each project's substantial completion and upon notification of completion from the developer. In the second quarter of 2009, the option agreement allowing us to purchase Alexan Black Mountain expired. On May 29, 2012, we sold Tanglewood at Voss to an unaffiliated third-party.

        Based on our evaluation, we determined that these entities met the criteria of VIEs under GAAP and, prior to January 1, 2010, we were the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. We do not have an equity investment in Alexan Black Mountain. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the net outstanding balance of the note receivable for Alexan Black Mountain as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. We have fully reserved against the note receivable.

        In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a reserve for loan losses of $2.5 million related to our mezzanine loan associated with Alexan Black Mountain bringing the carrying amount to zero as of December 31, 2011. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a reserve for loan losses totaling $11.1 million related to our mezzanine loan associated with Alexan Black Mountain, including

$7.1 million recognized as a provision to loan losses on our consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the remaining $4 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated distributions and net loss in our consolidated statement of equity for the year ended December 31, 2010.

        On September 30, 2010, we reached an agreement with the Voss Developer and the third-party lender to obtain the 100% fee simple interest in Tanglewood at Voss, including assumption of the senior construction loan in exchange for the full satisfaction of our mezzanine loan balance plus accrued interest. Following the Voss Transaction, the Voss Developer does not have any continuing involvement with Tanglewood at Voss. The receipt of Tanglewood at Voss in full satisfaction of our mezzanine loan receivable represents a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying amount of our mezzanine loan receivable plus accrued interest at the time of the Voss Transaction was $18.3 million.

        The valuation basis for the troubled debt restructuring of our mezzanine loan receivable is based on the fair value of Tanglewood at Voss, which secures the senior construction loan, less the fair value of the senior construction loan. Accordingly, the fair value of consideration transferred in the Voss Transaction was $13.3 million, resulting in a loss on troubled debt restructuring of $5 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2010.

8. Notes Receivable

Chase Park Plaza Working Capital Loan

        We lease the hotel portion of the Chase Park Plaza property to the hotel operator, an unaffiliated entity that owns the remaining 5% of Chase Park Plaza. In conjunction with the lease agreement, Chase Park Plaza Hotel, LLC made a working capital and inventory loan of up to $1.9 million to the hotel operator in December 2006. The interest rate under the note is fixed at 5% per annum. The term of the note is the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the termination of the related hotel lease agreement. Annual payments of interest only are required each December with any remaining balance payable at the maturity date. In accordance with the hotel lease agreement, the tenant received a reduction in its base rental payment due in January 2010 in the amount of the interest paid on the promissory note in the previous December. This reduction in the lease payment is reflected as a straight-line adjustment to base rental revenue. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the note receivable balance was $0.2 million. On February 19, 2013, the lease was terminated and, as a result, we recorded a provision for loan loss of $0.2 million.

Alexan Black Mountain and Alexan Voss Mezzanine Loans

        In 2006, we agreed to provide secured mezzanine financing with an aggregate principal amount of up to $9.7 million to an unaffiliated third-party entity that owns Alexan Black Mountain. Alexan Black Mountain also has a secured construction loan with third-party lender with an aggregate balance of $27.6 million and $28.1 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our mezzanine loan to Alexan Black Mountain is subordinate to the construction loan. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying amount of the Alexan Black Mountain mezzanine loan was zero and $2.5 million.

        In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a reserve for loan losses of $2.5 million related to our mezzanine loan associated with Alexan Black Mountain bringing the carrying amount to zero as of

        On September 30, 2010, we reached an agreement with the Voss Developer and the third-party lender to obtain the 100% fee simple interest in Tanglewood at Voss, including assumption of the senior construction loan in exchange for the full satisfaction of our mezzanine loan balance plus accrued interest.

The receipt of Tanglewood at Voss in full satisfaction of our mezzanine loan receivable represents a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying amount of our mezzanine loan receivable plus accrued interest at the time of the Voss Transaction was $18.3 million.

        The valuation basis for the troubled debt restructuring of our mezzanine loan receivable was based on the fair value of Tanglewood at Voss, which secures the senior construction loan, less the fair value of the senior construction loan. Accordingly, the fair value of consideration transferred in the Voss Transaction was $13.3 million, resulting in a loss on troubled debt restructuring of $5 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2010. Tanglewood at Voss was sold on May 29, 2012.

Royal Island Bridge Loan

        In December 2007, we participated in a bridge loan financing arrangement for the continuing development and construction of Royal Island. The aggregate principal amount available under the bridge loan was $60 million consisting of three tranches. Under the bridge loan, we agreed to lend a tranche of up to $40 million, which is subordinate to the other two tranches. The bridge loan accrued interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 8% per annum with accrued interest and principal payable at the maturity date, December 20, 2008, and was secured by the Royal Island property. In June 2009, we purchased the interest in the first of the two superior tranches, the A-1 tranche, for $3.1 million. In March 2010, we purchased the interest in two notes in the A-2 tranche for $2.2 million.

        A valuation of the long-lived assets of Royal Island indicated that our note receivable had been further impaired and we recorded a $6 million provision for loan loss to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral during the quarter ending June 30, 2012. For the year ending December 31, 2011, we recorded $5.3 million as provision for loan losses against the allowance to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral.

        On March 22, 2012, we executed an Agreement Regarding Transfer with the borrowers and guarantors of our Royal Island note receivable. Under the agreement, we would obtain all of the outstanding shares of Royal Island (Australia) Pty Limited, a parent company of the Royal Island borrowers and a subsidiary of the Royal Island Partnership (see Note 6 Real Estate Investments—Real Estate Acquisitions—Royal Island for further information). As we now have control of the property, we have consolidated Royal Island and the note receivable between the Company and Royal Island is eliminated as an intercompany transaction on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

        Our notes payable balance was $164.2 million, including the loan secured by Becket House (classified as held for sale) at December 31, 2012, as compared to $265.9 million at December 31, 2011 and consists of borrowings of debt related to our property acquisitions, loan assumptions and our borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. Each of our notes payable is collateralized by one or more of our properties. At December 31, 2012, our notes payable interest rates ranged from 3.2% to 15%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.3%. Of our $164.2 million in notes payable at December 31, 2012, $106.3 million represented debt subject to variable interest rates. At December 31, 2012, our notes payable had maturity dates that ranged from December 2014 to February 2018. We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the notes payable related to the BHFS Loans up to $11.2 million. The BHFS notes payable balance at December 31, 2012 total $31.6 million.

        In February 2011, Behringer Harvard Royal Island Debt, L.P. secured a $10.4 million loan (the "Debt LP Loan") for the purpose of preserving and protecting the collateral securing the bridge loan. The Debt LP Loan bears interest at 15% per annum. Payments are due from proceeds from sales or refinancing of the project or from payments received on the bridge loan. The Debt LP Loan matures at the earliest of (a) the date that the cash proceeds from sales of the collateral or refinancing of the bridge loan repay all accrued principal and interest outstanding, (b) five years from the date of foreclosure of the project, or (c) October 10, 2016.

        The Becket House loan matured on March 9, 2011. We executed an agreement with the senior lender effective as of February 18, 2011 to bifurcate the loan into two new loans consisting of an A loan of £8 million ($12.9 million) and a B loan of £3.7 million ($6 million). We also executed an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to provide up to £4 million ($6.5 million) in additional financing (the "Junior Loan"). The B loan and Junior Loan have essentially the same terms and are subordinate to the A loan. The loan matured on December 31, 2012. We are in negotations to sell the property. As of December 31, 2012, the Becket House loan was classified as obligations associated with real estate held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet.

Chase Park Plaza Hotel / Chase—The Private Residences

        In September 2011, the loan for Chase—The Private Residences was fully repaid through proceeds from condominium sales. In November 2011, the Chase Park Plaza Hotel and Chase—The Private Residences were refinanced with a new lender for $59 million in proceeds. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 675 basis points with a 0.75% floor and matures on December 9, 2014. The loan has two extension options. The loan requires monthly interest payments. Future proceeds from condominium sales will be used to pay down the loan until certain covenants are met.

Rio Salado

        On September 15, 2011, Behringer Harvard Rio Salado, LLC secured a $3.6 million loan for the purpose of completing certain infrastructure-related projects at Rio Salado. The loan bears interest at 12% and matures on September 15, 2014. The principal balance of the loan was $1 million as of December 31, 2011. In October 2012, the loan was repaid in full.

Becket House

        As of December 31, 2012, we are not in compliance with covenants related to Becket House. The Becket House senior loan requires that a hedging arrangement remain in place during the term of the loan. We did not have a hedge in place.

Credit Facility

        In February 2008, we entered into a senior secured credit facility providing for up to $75 million of secured borrowings. The initial credit facility allowed us to borrow up to $75 million in revolving loans, of which up to $20 million was available for issuing letters of credit. We unconditionally guaranteed payment of the senior secured credit facility. The availability of credit under the senior secured credit facility is limited by the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the maximum availability under the senior secured credit facility was fully utilized. Effective February 13, 2012, we reached an agreement with the lenders to extend the maturity date of the loan from February 13, 2012 to April 13, 2012. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 4%. The credit facility was fully repaid on May 9, 2012 with proceeds from new financings and cash.

New Financing and Modification

        On May 9, 2012, we obtained new financing of $28 million secured by our Las Colinas Commons and Northpoint Central properties and used the net proceeds from the new financing, along with $8 million of our cash to repay the senior secured credit facility in full. The five-year loan bears

interest at 5.148% and requires monthly principal and interest payments based upon a 30-year amortization schedule. The loan may not be prepaid until May 8, 2013 after which it is pre-payable with yield maintenance. After February 6, 2017, the loan is pre-payable at par. The loan is nonrecourse to us except for customary carve-outs.

        Effective May 15, 2012, we modified and extended the loan secured by our Bent Tree Green property. The maturity date was extended to May 19, 2014, and we made a principal payment of $1 million. On October 16, 2012, we sold Bent Tree Green for a contract sales price of $12 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property.

        On May 18, 2012, we obtained new financing of $15 million secured by our 5000 S. Bowen Road property. The two-year loan bore interest at LIBOR + 5.5% (with a 7% minimum rate) and required interest-only payments for the first twelve months, then monthly principal payments of $60,000 plus accrued interest thereafter. The loan was nonrecourse to us except for customary carve-outs. The loan could be prepaid at any time subject to payment of an exit fee of $150,000, and satisfaction of interest equal to $1 million less total cumulative interest paid. On August 16, 2012, we sold our Bowen Road data center for a contract sales price of $25.9 million, excluding transaction costs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to fully satisfy the existing indebtedness related to the property including $0.8 million paid for the yield maintenance. , We recorded an $8.9 million gain related to the sale.

Chapter 11 Cases—Frisco Debtors

        On August 31, 2011, effective as of August 28, 2011, the Frisco Debtors entered into a Modification and Extension Agreement (the "Frisco Square Loan Extension") with the lenders for the five BHFS loan tranches associated with our Frisco Square investment (the "BHFS Loans") to extend the maturity date of the BHFS loans to January 28, 2012. The interest rates for the five separate tranches of the Frisco Square Loan Extension were unchanged from the terms of the original BHFS loans, subject to the lender condition that if less than $10 million of lender approved sales contracts were in place by October 28, 2011, the interest rates for each tranche within the Frisco Square Loan Extension would increase by 50 basis points. As of October 28, 2011, $10 million of lender approved sales were not in place. The Frisco Square Loan Extension required that a principal payment of $0.2 million be made each month and that all excess cash flow after interest and required amortization be placed into a restricted deposit account and held as additional collateral. We had unconditionally guaranteed payment of the BHFS Loans.

        On January 28, 2012, the BHFS Loans matured and we did not pay the outstanding principal balance of the loan which constituted an event of default. On February 1, 2012, we were notified by the lenders that we were in default on the BHFS Theater loan (the "Theater Loan") as a result of the maturity default of the BHFS Loans and that the lenders intended to accelerate the Theater Loan if the maturity defaults on the BHFS Loans were not cured by February 9, 2012. We did not cure the defaults.

        The Frisco Debtors were actively working with the lenders and made numerous proposals to the lenders to restructure and extend the BHFS Loans and the Theater Loan; however, negotiations stalled and we were unsuccessful in reaching an agreement with the lenders. Thus, we determined that bankruptcy protection represented the best option to preserve value for all stakeholders at the Frisco

Square development. Therefore on June 13, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The filing for Chapter 11 resulted in an immediate and automatic stay on any lender enforcement actions, and enabled business at the Frisco Square development project to continue to operate until a reorganization plan was finalized, with no interruption in services. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Joint Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan"), which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed by order of the Bankruptcy court entered on December 20, 2012 allowing the Frisco Debtors to emerge from bankruptcy.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors entered into an amended and restated loan agreement related to the BHFS Loan. The amended BHFS Loan matures in five years with one two-year extension available if certain conditions are met. The amended BHFS Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        Also on December 27, 2012 and pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors entered into a modification of the Theater Loan and the maturity date was extended to February 1, 2018 with one two-year extension available if certain conditions are met. The modified Theater Loan requires monthly payments of interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points and monthly principal payments based upon a 30-year, 5% annual interest rate amortization schedule.

        In conjunction with the Reorganization Plan, the Company made an aggregate $16.5 million payment to partially pay down the principal of the BHFS Loan, and the lenders released all encumbrances related to the vacant land of approximately 27.5 acres owned by the BHFS Entities. The BHFS Loan balance after the pay down is currently approximately $26.9 million. The current balance of the Theater Loan is approximately $4.6 million. The BHFS Loan and the Theater Loan are cross-defaulted.

        On December 27, 2012, in connection with the BHFS Loan amendment and the Theater Loan modification, the Company executed a new guaranty agreement which replaced the previous agreement, with the lenders. The new guaranty agreement guarantees payment of principal, accrued interest and certain lender costs and expenses subject to a cap. The notional amount of the cap is $11.2 million. The guaranty cap may be reduced by voluntary principal repayments, as defined in the guaranty agreement.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

        We may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact our cash flows and the results of operations. Our hedging strategy of entering into interest rate caps and swaps, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows.

        In November 2011, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement related to the debt on our Chase Park Plaza Hotel and Chase—The Private Residences. In July 2010, our foreign currency put/call option related to Central Europe Joint Venture expired.

        Derivative instruments classified as assets were reported at their combined fair values of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in prepaid expenses and other assets at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We had no derivative instruments classified as liabilities as of December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded an unrealized gain of less than $0.1 million to AOCI in our statement of equity to adjust the carrying amount of the interest rate swaps and caps qualifying as hedges at December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded an unrealized loss of $0.1 million to AOCI in our statement of equity to adjust the carrying amount of the interest rate swaps and caps qualifying as hedges at December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.5 million to AOCI in our statement of equity to adjust the carrying amount of the interest rate swaps and caps qualifying as hedges at December 31, 2010. Unrealized gains on interest rate derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflect a reclassification of $0.8 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense.

Credit risk and collateral

        Our credit exposure related to interest rates is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net liability fair value at the reporting date. These outstanding instruments may expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, we have not experienced any credit loss as a result of counterparty nonperformance in the past. To manage credit risk, we select and will periodically review counterparties based on credit ratings and limit our exposure to any single counterparty. Under our agreement with the counterparty related to our interest rate caps of Chase Park Plaza Hotel and Chase—The Private Residences, cash deposits may be required to be posted by the counterparty whenever its credit rating falls below certain levels. At December 31, 2012, no collateral has been posted with our counterparties nor have our counterparties posted collateral with us related to our derivative instruments.

11. Leasing Activity

        Future minimum base rental payments due to us under non-cancelable leases in effect as of December 31, 2012 for our consolidated properties are as follows:

Year	Future Minimum Base Rental Payments
2013	$	21,616
2014		13,141

        As of December 31, 2012, we had two leases which accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. A tenant at our Northborough office building had rent totaling $5.8 million, and our Chase Hotel Plaza operating lease which had rent totaling $7.4 million. The Chase Hotel Plaza operating lease was terminated on February 19, 2013 and we have formed a wholly-owned entity to lease the hotel from the Company.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

        The City of Frisco issued $12.5 million of bonds that were used to make public improvements within the Frisco Square Management District (the, "MMD"). Under the Frisco Square Development Agreement (the, "Development Agreement"), as amended and supplemented between certain predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors and the City of Frisco (the "City") the

F-42

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

12. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors agreed to be responsible for 50% of the bond debt service (the, "Bond Obligation). At the time the real property assessed value within the MMD reaches $125 million the Bond Obligation will be reduced by 0.5% for each $1 million above the $125 million threshold. At $225 million of real property values within the MMD, the Bond Obligation is terminated. The current total outstanding Bond Obligation at December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million.

        The Development Agreement allowed that the Bond Obligation, the Plaza Obligation and other monetary obligations pursuant to the Development Agreement could be apportioned based upon the value of the real property and real property improvements if an association, as defined, is formed. The Frisco Square Property Owner's Association (the "POA") was formed on October 5, 2007. The POA pays for salaries, maintenance, special events, capital improvements and bond payments related to land within its defined area. In turn, the POA assesses its members for these costs. We are not the sole member of the POA. The annual bond debt service assessed by the POA is approximately $491,000. The Frisco Debtors expensed approximately $328,000 which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

        Under the Development Plan, 720 parking spaces in a minimum of two parking garages were required to be constructed by February 2012 (the "Parking Obligation"). Under the Frisco Debtor's Reorganization Plan, the date to build the garages was extended until February 1, 2018.

        The City has secured the Bond Obligation and the Parking Obligation by placing liens on the vacant land held by the BHFS I, LLC. The book value of the BHFS I, LLC land is $28.2 million. In the event the reorganized Frisco Debtors sell the vacant land, 33% of the net sales proceeds are to be deposited into an escrow account for the benefit of the City to secure the Parking Obligations until the amount in the escrow is $7 million. The current amount in the escrow is zero. For the Bond Obligation, the City will release the lien on the land to be sold provided that the City is provided with substitute collateral worth the amount of property to be sold. As discussed above, the Bond Obligation will be reduced from time to time and terminated once property values reach $225 million within the MMD.

13. Stockholders' Equity

        On November 23, 2004 (date of inception), we sold 1,000 shares of convertible stock and 21,739 shares of common stock to Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC ("Behringer Harvard Holdings") for $201,000 in cash. Pursuant to its terms, the convertible stock generally is convertible into shares of our common stock with a value equal to 15% of the amount by which (1) our enterprise value, including the total amount of distributions paid to our stockholders, exceeds (2) the sum of the aggregate capital invested by our stockholders plus a 10% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital. At the date of issuance of the shares of convertible stock, management determined the fair value under GAAP was less than the nominal value paid for the shares; therefore, the difference is not material. Conversion of the convertible stock may be limited by our board of directors if it determines that full conversion may jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. Our board of directors may authorize additional shares of capital stock and their characteristics without obtaining stockholder approval.

Share Redemption Program

        Our board of directors adopted a share redemption program that permitted stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they had held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. Our board of directors can amend the provisions of our

F-43

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

13. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

share redemption program without the approval of our stockholders. The terms on which we redeem shares may differ between redemptions upon a stockholder's death, "qualifying disability" (as defined in the share redemption program) or confinement to a long-term care facility and all other redemptions.

        On January 10, 2011, as is customary for REITs entering the disposition phase, the board suspended the redemption program with respect to all redemption requests until further notice. No shares of common stock were redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2012. An aggregate total of 984,267 shares of common stock have been redeemed since inception.

Distributions

        We initiated the payment of monthly distributions in August 2006. In April 2007, and through March 2009, the declared distribution rate was a 3% annualized rate of return, calculated on a daily record basis of $0.0008219 per share. Pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP"), many of our stockholders elected to reinvest any cash distributions in additional shares of common stock. We record all distributions when declared, except that the stock issued through the DRP was recorded when the shares were actually issued.

        Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our forthcoming cash needs, earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, cash on hand, general financial condition and other factors that our board deems relevant. The board's decision will be influenced, in substantial part, by its obligation to ensure that we maintain our status as a REIT. In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors discontinued regular, quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from the sale of assets and we ceased offering shares pursuant to the DRP.

        Distributions paid to stockholders have been funded through various sources, including cash flow from operating activities, proceeds raised as part of our initial public offering, reinvestment through our distribution reinvestment plan and/or additional borrowings. Cash amounts distributed to stockholders during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were zero, $0.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and were funded from cash flow provided by operating activities. Distributions were determined and paid in arrears rather than in advance of the period to which they applied.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

        The Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Award Plan ("Incentive Award Plan") was approved by our board of directors on July 19, 2005 and by our stockholders on July 25, 2005, and provides for equity awards to our directors and consultants and to employees, directors, and consultants of our affiliates. In November 2008, the board of directors approved an amendment to the grantees' stock option agreements for all awards granted prior to December 31, 2007, setting forth a revised vesting and expiration schedule. Accordingly, all options granted prior to December 31, 2007 that were previously outstanding and fully vested are subject to the revised vesting and expiration schedule as follows: 25% become exercisable in each of the calendar years 2010 and 2011 with the remaining 50% exercisable in the calendar year 2012. Any vested awards not exercised in the calendar year specified are forfeited and no longer exercisable. We did not recognize any incremental compensation cost resulting from these modifications. None of the options

were exercised and all have expired as of December 31, 2012. On March 25, 2013, our board of directors, voted to amend the Incentive Award Plan to eliminate the automatic option grant.

15. Related Party Transactions

        Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and certain of its affiliates receive fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, financing, management, and sale of our assets.

        Since our inception, the Advisor or its predecessors have been responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for, among other things, identifying and making acquisitions and other investments on our behalf. Our relationship with the Advisor, including the fees paid by us to the Advisor or the reimbursement of expenses by us for amounts paid, or incurred by the Advisor, on our behalf is governed by an advisory management agreement that has been in place since September 20, 2005 and amended at various times thereafter.

        On December 20, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our advisory management agreement pursuant to which the annual asset management fee payable by us to the Advisor was reduced from 0.75% to 0.60% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets effective January 1, 2012 and renewed the advisory management agreement, as amended, through December 31, 2012. On December 14, 2012, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (the "Second Amendment") pursuant to which, effective, January 1, 2013, the annual asset management fee payable by us to the Advisor was reduced from 0.60% to 0.575% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I received an annual asset management fee of 0.60% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets. The fee is payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.60% of the aggregate asset value as of the last day of the month. For the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $3.3 million, $5.4 million and $6 million of asset management fees, respectively. Amounts include asset management fees from discontinued operations.

        Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, or its affiliates, receives acquisition and advisory fees of 2.5% of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of real property or 2.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $1.1 million in acquisition and advisory fees, respectively.

        Under the advisory management agreement, the debt financing fee paid to the Advisor for a Loan (as defined in the agreement) will be 1% of the loan commitment amount. Amounts due to the Advisor for a Revised Loan (as defined in the agreement) will be 40 basis points of the loan commitment amount for the first year of any extension (provided the extension is for at least 120 days), an additional 30 basis points for the second year of an extension, and another 30 basis points for the third year of an extension in each case, prorated for any extension period less than a full year. The maximum debt financing fee for any extension of three or more years is 1% of the loan commitment amount. We incurred $0.5 million, $0.9 million, and $0.6 million in debt financing fees for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

        We reimburse Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I or its affiliates for all expenses paid or incurred by them in connection with the services they provide to us, including direct expenses and the costs of salaries and benefits of persons employed by those entities and performing services for us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse for any amount by which our Advisor's operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date reimbursement is sought exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets or (2) 25% of our net income for that four quarter period other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and any gain from the sale of our assets for that period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, we may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The salaries and benefits that we reimburse to our Advisor exclude the salaries and benefits that our Advisor or its affiliates may pay to our named executive officers. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, we incurred costs for administrative services totaling $1.8 million, $2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

        We pay our property manager and affiliate of the Advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Management Services, LLC or its affiliates (collectively, "BH Property Management"), fees for management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties. Such fees are equal to 4.5% of gross revenues plus leasing commissions based upon the customary leasing commission applicable to the same geographic location of the respective property. In the event that we contract directly with a

non-affiliated third-party property manager in respect of a property, we will pay BH Property Management an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of gross revenues of the property managed. In no event will we pay both a property management fee and an oversight fee to BH Property Management with respect to any particular property. In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay BH Property Management directly for its services, we will pay BH Property Management a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property. We incurred property management fees or oversight fees of $0.9 million, $0.9 million, and $1.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

        To bridge our liquidity needs until asset sales occur, in January 2011, we obtained a deferral from our Advisor of the payment of all asset management fees accruing during the months of May 2010 through March 2011 and all debt financing fees and expense reimbursements accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as the Company has sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable the Company to make payments thereon. Also in January 2011, BH Property Management deferred our obligation to pay property management oversight fees accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as the Company has sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable the Company to make payments thereon. The deferred fees were fully repaid in 2012. The total deferred fees and expenses at December 31, 2011 was $2.9 million.

        On March 29, 2011, we obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge our short-term liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan bears interest at a rate of 5% and has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) March 29, 2013, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory management agreement, or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement. The balance on the loan at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.5 million. On March 25, 2013, we fully repaid the loan and the accrued interest.

        At December 31, 2012, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $2.9 million. This balance consists of accrued and deferred fees, including asset management fees, administrative service expenses, debt financing fees, acquisition fees, property management fees, a loan of $1.5 million and other miscellaneous costs payable to Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management. At December 31, 2011, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $5.8 million.

        We are dependent on Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

        On September 26, 2011, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, entered into a lease agreement with Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., a real estate investment program sponsored by our sponsor Behringer Harvard Holdings LLC, to lease approximately 14,500 rentable square feet at Bent Tree Green to Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc. The lease commenced on December 1, 2011 for a 66-month term (the first six months of which are free rent) with scheduled rent increases every 12 months. Our management and board of directors determined that the lease was fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to us than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties for comparable transactions or services in the same location. On October 16, 2012, we sold Bent Tree Green to an unaffiliated third party and are no longer the lessor to Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc.

17. Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale

        During 2012 we sold four of our consolidated properties. Additionally as of December 31, 2012 we have one consolidated joint venture property classified as held for sale. During 2011 we sold four of our consolidated properties. During 2010 we transferred ownership of one of our consolidated properties via a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

        We have classified the results of operations for the properties discussed above into discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The results of these properties are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss and summarized in the following table ($ in thousands):

18. Frisco Debtors

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings—Frisco Debtors

        On June 13, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), the special purpose entity Behringer Harvard Frisco Square, LP, along with our indirect subsidiaries BHFS I, LLC, BHFS II, LLC, BHFS III, LLC, BHFS IV, LLC and BHFS Theater, LLC (collectively, the "Frisco Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 Cases pertain only to the Frisco Debtors, neither the Company nor any of its other wholly owned subsidiaries or joint ventures, either consolidated or unconsolidated, have sought such protection.

        The Frisco Debtors operated as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the order of the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2012, the Frisco Debtors filed a Joint Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan"), which, after certain modifications and amendments, was confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy court entered on December 20, 2012. Under the Reorganization Plan, all creditors are paid 100%: some immediately, and some over time. On December 27, 2012, pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, new equity interests were issued and as a result, the reorganized Frisco Debtors wholly own the Frisco property. On January 3, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order declaring the Reorganization Plan effective.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on December 27, 2012, the Frisco Debtors entered into an amended and restated loan agreement related to the BHFS Loan, a modification of the Theater Loan and executed a new guaranty agreement. See Note 9 Notes Payable for further information.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors also agreed to settle claims made by the City of Frisco. Under the Frisco Square Development Agreement (the, "Development Agreement"), as amended and supplemented between certain predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors and the City of Frisco (the "City"), the City was to be reimbursed approximately $1.3 million on April 1, 2013 related to the costs and expenses associated with the construction of Frisco Plaza located at Frisco Square in from the Frisco City Hall (the, "Plaza Obligation"). The City of Frisco issued $12.5 million of bonds that were used to make public improvements within the Frisco Square Management District

F-51

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

18. Frisco Debtors (Continued)

(the, "MMD"). Under the Development Agreement the predecessors-in-interest to the Frisco Debtors agreed to be responsible for 50% of the bond debt service (the, "Bond Obligation). At the time the real property value with the MMD reaches $125 million the Bond Obligation will be reduced by 0.5% for each $1 million above the $125 million threshold. At $225 million of real property values within the MMD the Bond Obligation is terminated. The total outstanding Bond Obligation at December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million.

        The Development Agreement allowed that the Bond Obligation, the Plaza Obligation and other monetary obligations pursuant to the Development Agreement could be apportioned based upon the value of the real property and real property improvements if an association, as defined, is formed. The Frisco Square Property Owner's Association (the, "POA") was formed on October 5, 2007. The POA pays for salaries, maintenance, special events, capital improvements and bond payments related to land within its defined area. In turn, the POA assesses its members for these costs. We are not the sole member of the POA. The annual bond debt service assessed by the POA is approximately $491,000. The Frisco Debtors expensed approximately $328,000 which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Frisco Debtors paid the $1.3 million to the City of Frisco for the Plaza Obligation on December 27, 2012. For the Bond Obligation, the Frisco Debtors agreed to escrow one year's worth of principal interest payments. The Frisco Debtors also agreed to make the semi-annual interest and principal payments. For both the Plaza Obligation and the Bond Obligation, the Frisco Debtors expect to utilize the POA to assess its members and to be reimbursed pro-ratably. The $1.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the December 31, 2012 balance sheet.

        Under the Development Plan, 720 parking spaces in a minimum of two parking garages were required to be constructed by February 2012 (the, "Parking Obligation"). The Reorganization Plan extends the date to build the garages until February 1, 2018.

        The City has secured the Bond Obligation and the Parking Obligation by placing liens on the vacant land held by the BHFS I, LLC. The book value of the BHFS I, LLC land is $28.2 million. In the event the reorganized Frisco Debtors sell the vacant land, 33% of the net sales proceeds are to be deposited into an escrow account for the benefit of the City to secure the Parking Obligations until the amount in the escrow is $7 million. The current amount in the escrow is zero. For the Bond Obligation, the City will release the lien on the land to be sold provided that the City is provided with substitute collateral worth the amount of property to be sold. As discussed above, the Bond Obligation will be reduced from time to time and terminated once property values reach $225 million within the MMD.

20. Subsequent Events

        We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements and noted no subsequent events that would require adjustment to the consolidated financial statement or additional disclosure, other than the ones disclosed herein.

        On March 7, 2013, we signed a purchase and sale agreement for our Rio Salado project for approximately $9.3 million. We expect the sale to close in second quarter of 2013.

        On February 19, 2013, we terminated the hotel operating lease with Kingsdell, L.P., formed a wholly owned entity to lease the Hotel, terminated CWE Hospitality Services, LLC as the Hotel's management company, and engaged a third party management company to manage the Hotel.

        Also on February 19, 2013, Chase Park Plaza Hotel, LLC ("CPPH"), a 95% owned subsidiary of the Company that owns the Chase Park Plaza Hotel (the "Hotel"), filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary and Permanent Injunction in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri against James L. Smith, Francine V. Smith, Marcia Smith Niederinghaus, Kingsdell L.P. and CWE Hospitality Services, LLC (collectively, the "Smith Defendants") requesting the Court remove the Smith Defendants from the property and from interfering with Plaintiff and the

Hotel. The Temporary Restraining Order was granted on February 19, 2013 and is in place until May 22, 2013.

        On March 22, 2013, the Smith Defendants filed counterclaims asserting breaches of the parties' agreements, conversion of their property, and computer tampering in connection with CPPH taking control of the Hotel and seeking unspecified damages.
