Liquidating Trust Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Sections 12, 13 and 14 Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. Liquidating Trust (the "Liquidating Trust"). On behalf of the Company and the Liquidating Trust, we hereby request that the staff ofthe Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff') confirm that, under the circumstances described herein, it will not recommend that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") take any enforcement action if (i) the Liquidating Trust, which was established in connection with completing the liquidation of the Company's assets, does not register the units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (ii) the Liquidating Trust does not (A) file reports on Form 10- Q, (B) include audited financial statements in its annual reports on Form 10-K or (C) present its financial statements in an interactive format through the use of XBRL, under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and (iii) the Liquidating Trust does not comply with the proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The no-action relief requested herein is in all material respects identical to the no-action relief that the Staff granted on November 14, 2014 to FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp., a Delaware corporation ("FSP 50 South Tenth Street") and FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp. Liquidating Trust ("FSP 50 South Tenth Street Liquidating Trust") as set forth in the no-action letter dated November 14, 2014 (the "FSP 50 South Tenth Street Letter"). Because the facts and circumstances described herein with respect to the Company and the Liquidating Trust are Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 BeiJing Berlin Boston Brussels Denver Frankfurt London Los Angeles New York Palo Alto Washington

WILMERHALE virtually identical to those described in the FSP 50 South Tenth Street Letter, we request that the Staff grant similar no-action relief to the Company and the Liquidating Trust. BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY AND THE LIQUIDATING TRUST The Company was incorporated on December 13, 2006. It was formed to purchase, own and operate a 28-story, Class "A" office tower containing approximately 860,000 rentable square feet of space in Chicago, Illinois (the "Property"). The Company purchased the Property from an unaffiliated third party for $167,000,000 on January 5, 2007. Between February 2007 and December 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of2,210 shares ofthe Company's preferred stock in a private placement offering to 815 "accredited investors" within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") for an aggregate consideration of approximately $207,238,000 (the "Private Placement"). On December 27, 2007, Franklin Street Properties Corp. ("Franklin Street") purchased 965.75 shares ofthe Company's preferred stock (approximately 43.7% ofthe 2,210 shares sold) for $82,813,000, representing $96,575,000 at the offering price net of commission of $7,726,000 and fees of $6,036,000. On June 10, 2008, the Company registered its preferred stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act because it had in excess of 500 holders of record and at least $10 million in assets as of December 31, 2 007. The Company has not registered, and is not required to register, any other classes of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, nor are any classes of the Company's securities subject to reporting under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Prior to the Company's dissolution, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company served as the transfer agent for the preferred stock. Immediately prior to the Company's dissolution on September 25, 2018, there were 2,210 shares of preferred stock held by 858 holders of record and one share of common stock outstanding. Franklin Street held the sole share of the Company's common stock. The Company's preferred and common stock have never been listed or traded on any exchange or trading system or any "pink sheets" or bulletin board listing service, and there has been no public market for, or active trading of, the stock. There have never been any market makers for the Company's stock. Prior to the Company's dissolution, the Company's preferred stock was traded through infrequent privately negotiated sales between Company stockholders and prospective buyers. During 2018, and prior to the Dissolution Date (as defined below), a total of 14 transfers ofthe Company's preferred stock, excluding the transfer by Franklin Street on September 6, 2018 described below, were effected, as follows:

1 transfer of 0.250 of a share of preferred stock was effected in a privately
negotiated sale between an existing Company stockholder and a prospective buyer.

WILMERHALE
2. 13 transfers of an aggregate of 11.60 shares of preferred stock were effected in
ordinary course transfers ( other than sales between existing Company stockholders and prospective buyers and sellers), including transfers by operation of law (i.e., deaths and divorces) and estate planning. Prior to its dissolution, the Company operated in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for United States federal income tax purposes. On June 20, 2018, the board of directors of the Company approved (i) the sale of the Property, comprising a sale of substantially all assets under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), to an unaffiliated third-party buyer for a gross sales price in the aggregate ofno less than $182,000,000 (the "Sale") and (ii) the subsequent dissolution ofthe Company and the adoption of a plan of complete dissolution and liquidation (the "Plan of Dissolution"). On July 31, 2018, the Company mailed an Information Statement to its stockholders seeking consents of stockholders to effect advance stockholder approval of the Sale and the subsequent dissolution of the Company and adoption ofthe Plan of Dissolution, as required by the DGCL. On August 17, 2018, the Company received the required consents from the stockholders ofthe Company under the DGCL approving the Sale and the subsequent dissolution ofthe Company and adoption ofthe Plan of Dissolution. On June 28, 2018, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with BCSP 8 Acquisition LLC (the "Buyer"), an unaffiliated third-party, for the sale of the Property for a gross sales price of $182,000,000 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"). On September 5, 2018, in anticipation of the sale of the Property and the subsequent dissolution of the Company, and pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, the board of directors of the Company determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to complete the liquidation of the Company following the sale ofthe Property by assigning and transferring to the Liquidating Trust all ofthe Company's assets, including certain cash and other reserves set aside for the costs and expenses of the Company in liquidation, as well as any other existing or contingent liabilities or obligations ofthe Company. In furtherance thereof, the Liquidating Trust was formed on such date pursuant to a liquidating trust agreement (the "Liquidating Trust Agreement") and in accordance therewith FSP Property Management LLC was appointed trustee of the Liquidating Trust (the "Trustee"). On September 6, 2018, in anticipation of the sale of the Property and the subsequent dissolution of the Company, and in order to preserve its qualification as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, Franklin Street assigned its sole share of common stock of the Company and 965.75 shares of preferred stock of the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Street.

WILMERHALE
On September 24, 2018, the Company consummated the sale of the Property to the Buyer for the $182,000,000 gross sale price. On September 25, 2018 (the "Dissolution Date"), the Company filed its Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective on that date, and transferred all ofits assets, claims, obligations and liabilities to the Liquidating Trust. The assets and liabilities transferred by the Company to the Liquidating Trust consisted of approximately $159,738,454 of cash and cash equivalents, the rights to receive up to $2,000,000 in escrow proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents, $112,747ofreceivables, and liabilities of the Company of $438,530, primarily consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes and professional fees. On the Dissolution Date, in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution and the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Company's stock records were closed, all of the outstanding shares of the Company's preferred and common stock were cancelled, and each stockholder of the Company automatically became the holder of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust equal to their respective interests in the proceeds of the liquidation of the Company prior to the dissolution. The stockholders were not required to take any action to receive the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust. The beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust are not transferable, except by will, intestate succession or by operation of law, nor does a beneficiary ofthe Liquidating Trust have authority or power to sell or in any other manner dispose of any such beneficial interests. Any beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust transferred by will, intestate succession or operation oflaw will thereafter be subject to such transfer restrictions. Units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust are not listed on any exchange or quoted on any quotation system, nor are they or will they be represented by certificates. As ofthe Dissolution Date, there were 858 holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust. Although the Company's dissolution became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Section 278 of the DGCL provides that the Company's existence continues for at least three years after dissolution for limited purposes. Specifically, the Company will continue to exist for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by or against it, and enabling the Company gradually to settle and close its business, to dispose of and convey its property, to discharge its liabilities and to distribute to its stockholders any remaining assets, but not for the purpose of continuing the business for which the Company was organized. On the Dissolution Date, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, filed a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective upon filing. On the Dissolution Date, following the dissolution of the Company, the Trustee authorized, pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement, an initial liquidating distribution of a

WILMERHALE total of $158,015,000 to the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust, which amount was to be apportioned pro rata according to the beneficiaries' respective interest in the Liquidating Trust as of the Dissolution Date (the "Initial Liquidating Distribution"). The Initial Liquidating Distribution was effected on September 27, 2018. After giving effect to the Initial Liquidating Distribution, as of September 27, 2018, the Liquidating Trust retained approximately $3,898,434 in assets, comprised of $1,793,853 in cash and cash equivalents, the rights to receive up to $2,000,000 in escrow proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents, and $104,581 in receivables, in order to wind up the Company's affairs, resolve any claims and discharge any liabilities of the Company during the Company's continued existence after dissolution under the DGCL as described above. As of September 27, 2018, the known liabilities of the Company were estimated to be approximately $500,763, primarily consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes and professional fees. On September 27, 2018, the Liquidating Trust effected the conveyance of the Initial Liquidating Distribution to the beneficiaries ofthe Liquidating Trust, comprising $71,500 per share of preferred stock outstanding as of the Dissolution Date. On October 15, 2018, the Company filed a Form 15 pursuant to Rule 12g-4(a)(l) to terminate the registration of the preferred stock under the Exchange Act and to cease filing periodic reports with respect thereto. The Company determined that it was eligible to rely on this rule because the Company no longer had any record holders of its preferred stock. Prior to the date of the filing of the Form 15, the Company was current and timely in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Since the date of the filing of the Form 15, the Liquidating Trust has been current and timely in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Between the Dissolution Date and September 27, 2018, other than the Initial Liquidating Distribution, the Liquidating Trust collected approximately $8,166 of receivables, collected cash receipts of$139,928 that are owed to the Buyer, paid approximately $77,695 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and incurred expenses of approximately $0. Terms of the Liquidating Trust The sole purpose ofthe Liquidating Trust is to collect all outstanding assets of the Company and to liquidate the Liquidating Trust's corpus and discharge the liabilities transferred to it with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of any trade or business. Under the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized and empowered to take only such action as is necessary or advisable to preserve the Trust corpus pending its distribution to the owners of the beneficial interests ofthe Liquidating Trust, and has no power or authority to enter into or engage in the conduct of any
trade or business in respect of the Liquidating Trust corpus. For example, the Trustee is authorized and empowered to settle, prosecute and defend all suits and proceedings including, without limitation, all claims and causes of actions which

WILMERHALE could be brought by or on behalf of the Company, and prosecute or defend all actions against or appeals on behalf ofthe Company. The Trustee has not brought any claims or causes of actions on behalf of the Company, nor has it prosecuted or defended any actions against or appeals on behalf of the Company. The Liquidating Trust has not engaged, and will not engage in the conduct of a trade or business, and does not require active management. As a result, the Liquidating Trust conducts no active business other than for the purpose of winding up its affairs. Under the terms ofthe Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee is required to keep an accounting of receipts and distributions of the Liquidating Trust. Under the terms ofthe Liquidating Trust Agreement, the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust are not transferable, except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Beneficiaries ofthe Liquidating Trust do not have the authority or power to sell or in any other manner dispose of any such beneficial interests, except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Any beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust transferred by will, intestate succession or operation of law will thereafter be subject to such transfer restrictions. Units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust are not listed on any exchange or quoted on any quotation system, nor are they or will they be represented by certificates. Rather, the Trustee, through its transfer agent American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is maintaining a record ofthe name and address of each beneficiary and such beneficiary's aggregate units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust. As of September 30, 2018, there were 858 holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust. Under the terms ofthe Liquidating Trust Agreement, neither the Trustee, the Liquidating Trust, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates will take any actions to facilitate or encourage any trading in the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust or in any instrument or interest tied to the value ofthe beneficial interests of the Liquidating Trust. Under the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the existence of the Liquidating Trust will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the distribution of all such Liquidating Trust's assets in accordance with the terms of its Liquidating Trust Agreement, or (2) September 5, 2021, the expiration of a period of three years from the effective date of the Liquidating Trust. The existence ofthe Liquidating Trust may, however, be extended for up to two additional one-year periods in the Trustee's reasonable discretion. Accordingly, the existence of the Liquidating Trust may be extended until September 5, 2023, at the latest. Under the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee is required to issue annual reports to the beneficiaries showing the assets and liabilities of such Liquidating Trust at the end of each year and
the receipts and disbursements of the Trustee with respect to such Liquidating Trust for each year. The annual reports will also describe the changes in the Liquidating Trust's assets and liabilities during the reporting period and any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties that it has not previously reported, and which, in its

WILMERHALE opinion, materially affects the Liquidating Trust's assets and liabilities. The financial statements contained in such reports will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is not contemplated that the financial statements will be audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The annual reports furnished to the beneficiaries will be filed with the Commission under cover of Form 10-K using the Company's existing Commission file number. The Trustee will sign and file a certification with respect to the annual reports in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In this regard, the attached certification has been modified from the certification provided in Item 601 of Regulation S-K in the following respects:

Signatures: Because the Liquidating Trust does not have a principal executive officer or
principal financial officer, the signature requirements for the certifications are met by the Trustee and all references in the certifications are solely to the Trustee.
Board and Audit Committee: The Liquidating Trust does not have a board of directors
or an audit committee and therefore all references to the board of directors have been deleted.
Statement of Operations: The financial statements of the Liquidating Trust are provided
on a liquidation basis and therefore do not include a statement of operations; all references to the results of operations have been deleted and replaced by references to changes in financial condition.
Internal Controls: The references in Section 4 of the certification to internal controls
over financial reporting and the design of such internal controls are included in certifications accompanying annual reports. The Trustee will file with the Commission current reports under cover of Form 8-K using the Commission file number for the Company whenever an event with respect to the Liquidating Trust occurs that would require the filing of Form 8-K by a company registered under the Exchange Act or whenever a material event relating to such Liquidating Trust's assets or liabilities has occurred, and a copy of each such report will be sent to all holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust. It is not presently contemplated that the Trustee will provide beneficiaries with quarterly reports and, therefore, no quarterly reports will be filed under cover of Form 10-Q for the Liquidating Trust. Assets and Liabilities As of October 9, 2018, the Liquidating Trust retained approximately $4,883,728 in assets, comprised of $2,797,190 in cash and cash equivalents, the rights to receive up to

WILMERHALE
$2,000,000 in escrow proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents, and $86,538 in receivables, in order to wind up the Company's affairs, resolve any claims and discharge any liabilities of the Company during the Company's continued existence after dissolution under the DGCL as described above. As of October 9, 2018, the known liabilities of the Company were estimated to be approximately $1,448,817, primarily consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes and professional fees. The Company anticipates that the $2,000,000 in escrow proceeds will be returned to the Liquidating Trust on or about March 25, 2019 and be available for one or more additional liquidating distributions to the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust in amounts and on dates to be determined. However, there can be no assurance that all or any portion of these funds will be returned to the Liquidating Trust or that there will be sufficient funds available to make any such future liquidating distributions. ANALYSIS As in the FSP 50 South Tenth Street Letter and as described below, the Staff has consistently agreed to grant relief from the Section 13(a) and 15(d) reporting requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and with respect to the inclusion of audited financial statements in annual reports on Form 10-K to registrants who have substantially curtailed their operations upon a showing that not filing quarterly reports or including audited financial statements in annual reports would not significantly alter the total information available to investors and that filing quarterly reports and including audited annual financial statements in annual reports would present an unnecessary burden or expense. See Exchange Act Release No. 9660 (June 30, 1972) (Release 34-9660) and the following no-action letters: the FSP 50 South Tenth Street Letter; FSP Galleria North Corp. Liquidating Trust (August 13, 2014); FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. Liquidating Trust (April 1, 2013); Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Liquidating Trust (March 28, 2013); ICON Income Fund Nine Liquidating Trust (March 26, 2013); Behringer Harvard Mid-Term Value Enhancement Liquidating Trust (March 31, 2011); REMEC Liquidating Trust (March 28, 2011); G REIT, Inc. and G REIT Liquidating Trust (August 4, 2010); ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven Liquidating Trust (Aug. 14, 2007); T REIT, Inc. and T REIT Liquidating Trust (Aug. 9, 2007); FORE Holdings LLC and FORE Holdings Liquidating Trust (December 1, 2005); Shelboume Properties et al. (Apr. 29, 2004); Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee, and AFG Investment Liquidating Trusts (June 18, 2003); PLM Equipment Growth Fund III Liquidating Trust (June 9, 2003); Wilmington Trust Company et al. (Feb. 26, 2003); and Burnham Pacific Properties, Inc. and BPP Liquidating Trust (June 21, 2002). The Liquidating Trust will operate exclusively to liquidate its remaining assets,
pay its expenses and liabilities and distribute cash to the holders of its beneficial interests. It will not

WILMERHALE operate in any capacity to acquire additional investments. Units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust will not be listed on any exchange and will not be actively traded. It is our opinion that the Liquidating Trust will not be an issuer of "equity securities" within the meaning of Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Liquidating Trust will operate solely for the purpose of liquidating and distributing the cash and the cash proceeds from the liquidation of the assets transferred to it, and will terminate upon the complete distribution of the trust corpus or the expiration of a period of three years from the effective date of the Liquidating Trust. Except as may be necessary to complete the liquidation of the assets held in trust, the Liquidating Trust will not engage or continue in the conduct of any trade or business. No certificates will be issued to represent the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and the beneficial interests will not be transferable, except by will, intestate succession or by operation of law. Any beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust transferred by will, intestate succession or operation of law will thereafter be subject to such transfer restrictions. Due to the restriction on transfer, there is no market for the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and, consequently, no need for the general public to have the type of information about the Liquidating Trust required by Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Nevertheless, beneficiaries ofthe Liquidating Trust will continue to receive annual reports and current reports under cover of Forms 10-K and 8-K, respectively. In addition, a person performing similar functions to a principal financial officer of the Trustee will sign and file a certification in his individual capacity with respect to annual reports on Form 10-K, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In similar circumstances, such as the FSP 50 South Tenth Street Letter, the Staff has stated that it would not recommend any enforcement action in the absence of registration of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust. See, e.g., the FSP Galleria North Letter; FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. Liquidating Trust, supra; Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Liquidating Trust, supra; ICON Income Fund Nine Liquidating Trust, supra; Behringer Harvard Mid-Term Value Enhancement Liquidating Trust, supra; REMEC Liquidating Trust, supra; G REIT, Inc. and G REIT Liquidating Trust, supra; ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven Liquidating Trust, supra; T REIT, Inc. and T REIT Liquidating Trust, supra; FORE Holdings LLC and FORE Holdings Liquidating Trust, supra; Shelbourne Properties et al., supra; Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee, and AFG Investment Liquidating Trusts, supra; PLM Equipment Growth Fund III Liquidating Trust, supra; Wilmington Trust Company et al., supra; and Burnham Pacific Properties, Inc. and BPP Liquidating Trust, supra. In addition,
compliance with the reporting obligations ofthe Exchange Act and the proxy rules would place an unreasonable financial and administrative burden on the Liquidating Trust and significantly reduce the amount of distributions to holders of beneficial interests. The cost of auditing annual financial statements, preparing the financial statements in XBRL interactive data format and preparing and filing quarterly reports would further decrease the proceeds available for distribution. The Liquidating Trust has estimated that the continuing expense associated with preparing and filing its annual reports (with audited financial statements) and quarterly reports,

WILMERHALE
Office ofChief Counsel including fees for independent auditors, outside legal counsel and printing and electronic filing costs, would exceed $524,500 through the anticipated completion of the dissolution in September
2021. Further, holders of beneficial interests will receive annual statements from the Trustee and
will be provided with other annual and current reports as deemed necessary by the Trustee, filed on Form 10-K or 8-K, as appropriate. Annual reports will contain information for a company in a non-operating, liquidation mode prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed above, a person performing similar functions to a principal financial officer ofthe Trustee will sign and file a certification in his individual capacity with respect to the annual reports in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Therefore, because (i) there will be no market, public or private, for beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust, (ii) the Trustee will keep beneficiaries ofthe Liquidating Trust informed of pertinent fiscal developments through timely filings of annual reports and current reports under cover of Forms 10-K (with the modified certifications described above) and 8-K, respectively, and (iii) the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act would place an unreasonable financial burden on the Liquidating Trust, it is our opinion that the registration of the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust is not required under 12(g) and there is no need for the Liquidating Trust to (a) file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, (b) include audited financial statements in its annual reports on Form 10-K, ( c) present its financial statements in an interactive format through the use of XBRL or ( d) comply with the proxy rules. As such, the Company believes that the foregoing meets the criteria established in Release 34-9660 (June 30, 1972), which sets forth the Commission's position that relief from the reporting requirements may be granted where issuers can demonstrate that such relief is consistent with the protection of investors and that it would be difficult for the reporting company to comply with such requirements. Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request the Staff to confirm that it will not recommend any enforcement action to the Commission ifthe Liquidating Trust does not register under the Exchange Act and complies with the reporting requirements thereunder in the manner proposed above. Sincerely, Thomas S. Ward cc: George J. Carter Scott H. Carter, Esq.
