There are risks associated with an investment in American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. The following is a summary of these risks. A more detailed description of the associated risks is found in the prospectus.

■ We have a very limited operating history and have no established financing sources. This offering is a blind pool and you may not have the opportunity to evaluate investments prior to their purchase or prior to your investment in our common stock, which makes this investment more speculative.

■ No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock, nor may a public market ever exist and our shares are illiquid. There are limitations on ownership and transferability of our shares.

■ We are obligated to pay substantial fees to our advisor and its affiliates, including fees payable upon sale of properties, which may result in our advisor recommending riskier or more speculative investments. We are depending on our advisor to select investments and conduct our operations. Adverse changes in the financial condition of our advisor could adversely affect us.

■ If we, through our advisor, are unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our objectives or pay distributions. If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and types of investments, our ability to diversify our investments will be limited.

■ Properties may be adversely affected by the current economic downturn, as well as economic cycles and risks inherent to the New York market. The offering may be subject to risks associated with the significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions currently occurring in the United States credit markets.

■ There are substantial conflicts among the interests of our investors, our interests and the interests of our advisor, sponsor, dealer manager and our respective affiliates regarding compensation, investment opportunities and management resources.

■ Our investment objectives and strategies may be changed without shareholder consent.

■ There are significant risks associated with maintaining a high level of leverage as permitted under our charter. If we incur substantial debt, it may hinder our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders or could decrease the value of your investment if income on, or the value of, the property securing the debt falls.

■ We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time. Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source. Such distributions could reduce the cash available to us and could constitute a return of capital to shareholders.

■ Our share repurchase program is subject to numerous restrictions, may be cancelled at anytime and should not be relied upon as a means of liquidity.

■ We may fail to qualify or continue to qualify to be treated as a REIT for tax purposes.

■ Our dealer manager has not conducted an independent review of this prospectus.

■ We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act.

NY Recovery REIT

“There is no better time to consider an investment in New York City real estate than now. Our City, the most vibrant and durable financial capital on the globe, is supply-constrained, having seen no net additions to office and retail space inventory in the last 18 years. At the same time, prices and rents for high quality commercial real estate have fallen as much as 50% since Fall 2007. A confluence of factors in the economy and the capital markets has disproportionately impacted New York City and created a “perfect storm” for the investor who seeks to buy real estate assets at fair value, with strong improving current returns and the opportunity for value increases as markets continue to stabilize. Our New York Recovery REIT gives the individual investor a direct, “bricks and mortar opportunity” to participate in this recovery.”

— Nicholas S. Schorsch, Chairman & CEO

Acquisition EnvironmentNY Recovery REIT

v Property owners under pressure– Rising vacancy rates– Falling rents– Rising cap rates– Too much debt– Upcoming debt maturities

v Lenders under pressure– Falling property valuations– Increased borrower defaults– Regulatory intervention– Looming debt maturities

“Crisis Creates Opportunity”

v Over $1.4 trillion of commercial real estate debt scheduled to mature in 2009-2013– Debt maturities will be a catalyst for buying opportunities

The “Perfect Storm” in Commercial Real Estate

Acquisition EnvironmentNY Recovery REIT

*Unlike many other real estate companies, management will not be distracted by and shareholders will not be burdened with past acquisitions.

v The current acquisition environment has similarities to the early 1990s following the aftermath of the S&L crisis.– Many individual investors missed out on the commercial real estate buying opportunities

of the early ‘90s.

v We believe New York Recovery REIT provides an opportunity for individual investors to participate in this real estate cycle– Professional management– Public company reporting– No legacy assets*– Buying quality real estate in a supply constrained market– Buy low and sell high strategy

6

Focus on New York CityNY Recovery REIT

v As an island, Manhattan is a supply constrained real

estate market.– Total office supply in Manhattan has actually

declined over the last 18 years– Very limited land for new development in

Manhattan

v New York City, the “financial capital of the world.”– If it were a country, it would have the 17th largest

GDP in the world.– Durable office market has weathered economic

downturns, market calamities, and terrorist attacks, each time not simply recovering but becoming stronger

– Demand for office space has persistently grown along with rents over the long term

Focus on New York CityNY Recovery REIT

v New York City contains over 400 million square feet of office space– More than Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta, and

Denver combined– Over 200 million square feet just in Midtown Manhattan (approximately a 3 square mile area)
