      Re:   Franklin Street Properties Corp.
            Rule 477 Application for Withdrawal
            Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-118712)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company") hereby requests that the
Securities and Exchange Commission consent to the withdrawal, effective as of
the date hereof, of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-118712) (the "Registration Statement").

      The Company requests withdrawal of the Registration Statement because the
shares of the Company's Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement
were acquired by the selling stockholders on June 1, 2003, and therefore may be
saleable (subject to the affiliate status of the selling stockholder) under Rule
144(k) of the Securities Act as of June 2, 2005. The Company confirms that no
securities of the Company have been sold under the Registration Statement.

      If you have any questions or comments or require further information or
documentation, please do not hesitate to call the undersigned at (781) 246-4900
or Kenneth Hoxsie of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, the Company's
outside counsel, at (617) 526-6681.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES, CORP.


                                   /s/ George J. Carter
