Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

      On July 29, 2005, the Board of Directors of Franklin Street Properties
Corp. (the "Company") declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share of common
stock payable on August 29, 2005 to stockholders of record on August 8, 2005.
The cash dividend represents two months of operations. The Company's past
practice is to declare quarterly cash dividends representing three months of
operations. However, on April 19, 2005, in anticipation of the consummation of
the acquisition of four REITs by merger on April 30, 2005, the Company declared
a dividend in respect of the first four months of operations in 2005. The
dividend declared by the Company on July 29, 2005 is therefore in respect of the
remaining two months in the second quarter of 2005. The two dividends together,
$0.62, are in respect of the first six months of operations for 2005.

      The information in this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section,
nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing.
