providing an update on its joint ventures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Attached and incorporated by reference as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 is a copy of the Company&#146;s press
release dated May&nbsp;10, 2010, with respect to the foregoing information.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The information furnished in this report under this Item&nbsp;7.01, including the Exhibit attached
hereto, shall not be deemed &#147;filed&#148; for purposes of Section&nbsp;18 of the Securities Exchange Act of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company and its joint venture partner for its joint ventures referred to as 2005
Development and Repositioning JV, 2005 Core JV, 2006 Land and Development JV, and 2007 Canada JV
are in active negotiations regarding the conclusion of each of these joint ventures by July&nbsp;30,
2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the negotiations result in a definitive agreement, the Company anticipates that it would
transfer its interests in these ventures to the partner for a lump sum cash payment, as well as its
pro rata share of distributable cash, capital proceeds, and earned fees, promotes and other
entitlements, and, thereafter, no longer serve as asset manager for these ventures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company anticipates it would be eligible for future financial consideration
following the conclusion of the joint ventures related to certain asset sales, lease agreements,
and built-to-suit agreements currently in process.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also part of the negotiations is the potential acquisition by the Company of its partner&#146;s 90%
interest in a 285,000 square-foot distribution facility in the Minneapolis market from the 2005
Development and Repositioning venture.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conclusion of these joint ventures as described in the foregoing paragraphs requires the
definitive agreement of the joint venture partner, which may not be obtained.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CHICAGO, May&nbsp;10, 2010 &#151; First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR), a leading provider of
industrial real estate supply chain solutions, today provided an update on certain of its joint
ventures. First Industrial and its joint venture partner for its 2005 Development and
Repositioning JV, 2005 Core JV, 2006 Land and Development JV, and 2007 Canada JV are in active
negotiations regarding the conclusion of each of these joint ventures by July&nbsp;30, 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">If the negotiations result in a definitive agreement, First Industrial anticipates that it would
transfer its interests in these ventures to the partner for a lump sum cash payment, as well as its
pro rata share of distributable cash, capital proceeds, and earned fees, promotes and other
entitlements, and, thereafter, no longer serve as asset manager for these ventures.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To the extent these joint ventures are concluded, First Industrial anticipates that funds from
operations from its joint ventures for the second half of 2010 would be reduced by approximately
$1.4&nbsp;million from prior estimates. To offset any lost income related to these joint ventures,
First Industrial would undertake organizational and other overhead reductions intended to reduce
its overhead such that, excluding one-time restructuring costs, the conclusion of these ventures
would have minimal impact on First Industrial&#146;s earnings per share or funds from operations for
2010.
