File No. 333-184126
Dear Mr. Kluck,
In accordance with Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Industrial Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to accelerate the effectiveness of the above-captioned Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the “Registration Statement”) and declare the Registration Statement, as then amended, effective as of 12:00 pm (EDT), on July 24, 2013 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
In connection with this request for acceleration of effectiveness, the Company acknowledges that (i) should the Commission or its staff acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, such declaration does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement; (ii) the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and (iii) the Company may not assert the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Please contact Alice Connaughton of Greenberg Traurig, LLP (counsel to the Company) at (212) 801-6496 with any questions about this acceleration request. Please notify us when the delegated authority copy of the orders of the Commission declaring the Registration Statement effective has been executed.
| Very truly yours, | ||
