Item 8.01 Other Events



     Urstadt  Biddle  Properties  Inc.  (Registrant)  disclosed in its Form 10-Q
     filed on  September  10,  2004 the  amendment  of a contract  to purchase a
     shopping  center  for  approximately   $50  million.   The  Registrant  has
     terminated  the contract as a result of the  seller's  inability to satisfy
     certain required conditions  contained in the contract.  The Registrant and
     the seller  have no further  contractual  obligations  to each  other.  The
     Registrant  and the  seller  continue  to have  discussions  regarding  the
     purchase of the property.  There can be no assurance that these discussions
     will result in a new contract or in the acquisition of the property.
