PART I

This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in each forward-looking statement. Certain factors that might cause such a difference are discussed in this report, included in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 54 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. We focus on the development, redevelopment, acquisition, ownership and operation of apartment communities in high barrier-to-entry markets of the United States. This is because we believe that, long term, the limited new supply of apartment homes and lower housing affordability in these markets will result in larger increases in cash flows relative to other markets over an entire business cycle. These barriers-to-entry generally include a difficult and lengthy entitlement process with local jurisdictions and dense urban or suburban areas where zoned and entitled land is in limited supply. Our markets are located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and Northern and Southern California regions of the United States. We believe that we have penetrated substantially all of the high barrier-to-entry markets of the country.

At February 27, 2004, we owned or held a direct or indirect ownership interest in 131 operating apartment communities containing 38,504 apartment homes in ten states and the District of Columbia, of which two communities containing 1,089 apartment homes were under reconstruction. In addition, we owned or held a direct or indirect ownership interest in 11 communities under construction that are expected to contain an aggregate of 3,493 apartment homes when completed. We also owned a direct or indirect ownership interest in rights to develop an additional 40 communities that, if developed in the manner expected, will contain an estimated 10,070 apartment homes. We generally obtain ownership in an apartment community by developing a new community on vacant land or by acquiring and either repositioning or redeveloping an existing community. In selecting sites for development, redevelopment or acquisition, we favor locations that are near expanding employment centers and convenient to recreation areas, entertainment, shopping and dining.

Our real estate investments consist of the following reportable segments: Established Communities, Other Stabilized Communities and Development/Redevelopment Communities. Established Communities are generally operating communities that were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year. Other Stabilized Communities are generally all other operating communities that have stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the current year, but had not achieved stabilization as of the beginning of the prior year. Development/Redevelopment Communities consist of communities that are under construction, communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is planned to begin during the current year and communities under lease-up. A more detailed description of these segments and other related information can be found in Note 9, “Segment Reporting,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 of this report.

Our principal financial goal is to increase long-term stockholder value by successfully and cost-effectively developing, redeveloping, acquiring, owning and operating high-quality communities in our selected markets that contain features and amenities desired by residents, as well as by providing our residents with efficient and effective service. To help fulfill this goal, we regularly (i) monitor our investment allocation by geographic market and product type, (ii) develop, redevelop and acquire apartment communities in high barrier-to-entry markets with growing or high potential for demand, (iii) selectively sell apartment communities that no longer meet our long-term strategy due to product type, location or relative potential for future appreciation and redeploy the proceeds from those sales, and (iv) endeavor to maintain a capital structure that is aligned with our business risks such that we maintain continuous access to cost-effective capital. Our long-term strategy is to more deeply penetrate the high barrier-to-entry markets in our chosen regions with a broad range of products and services and an intense focus on our customer. A substantial majority of our current communities are upscale (commanding among the highest rents in their submarkets). We also pursue the ownership and operation of apartment communities that target a variety of customer segments and price points, consistent with our goal to offer a broad range of products and services.

During the three years ended December 31, 2003, we acquired five apartment communities, disposed of 20 apartment communities, and completed the development of 23 apartment communities and the redevelopment of three apartment communities. During 2003, we shifted from acquiring to selling apartment communities in response to strong investor demand, allowing us to realize a portion of the value created over the past business cycle, as well as providing additional liquidity. In 2004, we plan to continue our disposition activity, although at a reduced level, and we expect to expand our acquisition and development volume. The level of disposition, acquisition or development activity, however, is heavily influenced by capital market conditions, including prevailing interest rates. A further discussion of our development, redevelopment, disposition and acquisition strategy follows.

Development Strategy. We carefully select land for development and follow established procedures that we believe minimize both the cost and the risks of development. As one of the largest developers of multifamily apartment communities in high barrier-to-entry markets of the United States, we identify development opportunities through local market presence and access to local market information achieved through our regional offices. In addition to our principal executive offices in Alexandria, Virginia, we also maintain regional offices and administrative or specialty offices in or near the following cities:

  •   Boston, Massachusetts;
  •   Chicago, Illinois;
  •   New Canaan, Connecticut;
  •   New York, New York;
  •   Newport Beach, California;
  •   San Jose, California;
  •   Seattle, Washington; and
  •   Woodbridge, New Jersey.

After selecting a target site, we usually negotiate for the right to acquire the site either through an option or a long-term conditional contract. Options and long-term conditional contracts generally enable us to acquire the target site shortly before the start of construction, which reduces development-related risks as well as preserves capital. After we acquire land, we generally shift our focus to construction. Except for certain mid-rise and high-rise apartment communities where we may elect to use third-party general contractors or construction managers, we act as our own general contractor and construction manager. We generally perform these functions directly (and not through a subsidiary) both for ourselves and for the joint ventures and partnerships of which we are a member or a partner. We believe this enables us to achieve higher construction quality, greater control over construction schedules and significant cost savings. Our development, property management and construction teams monitor construction progress to ensure high-quality workmanship and a smooth and timely transition into the leasing and operational phase.

Throughout this report, the term “development” is used to refer to the entire property development cycle, including pursuit of zoning approvals, procurement of architectural and engineering designs and the construction process. References to “construction” refer to the actual construction of the property, which is only one element of the development cycle.

Redevelopment Strategy. When we undertake the redevelopment of a community, our goal is to generally renovate and/or rebuild an existing community so that our total investment is significantly below replacement cost and the community is one of the highest quality apartment communities or best rental values for an apartment community in its local area. We have established procedures to minimize both the cost and risks of redevelopment. Our redevelopment teams, which include key redevelopment, construction and property management personnel, monitor redevelopment progress. We believe we achieve significant cost savings by acting as our own general contractor. More importantly, this helps to ensure high-quality design and workmanship and a smooth and timely transition into the lease-up and restabilization phase.

Throughout this report, the term “redevelopment” is used to refer to the entire redevelopment cycle, including planning and procurement of architectural and engineering designs, budgeting and actual renovation work. The actual renovation work is referred to as “reconstruction,” which is only one element of the redevelopment cycle.

Disposition Strategy. We sell assets when market conditions are favorable and redeploy the proceeds from those sales to develop, redevelop and acquire communities and to rebalance our portfolio across geographic regions. This also allows us to realize a portion of the value created over the past business cycle, as well as provides additional liquidity. We are then able to redeploy the net proceeds from our dispositions in lieu of raising that amount of capital externally by issuing debt or equity securities. When we decide to sell a community, we generally solicit competing bids from unrelated parties for these individual assets and consider the sales price of each proposal.

Acquisition Strategy. Our core competencies in development and redevelopment discussed above allow us to be selective in the acquisitions we target. From time to time, in order to achieve rapid penetration into markets that are generally supply constrained and in which we desire an increased presence and to help us achieve our desired product mix, or to rebalance our portfolio, we will acquire existing apartment communities.

Property Management Strategy. We intend to increase operating income through innovative, proactive property management that will result in higher revenue from communities and controlled operating expenses.

Our principal strategies to maximize revenue include:

  •   strong focus on resident satisfaction;
  •   staggering lease terms such that lease expirations are better matched to traffic patterns;
  •   balancing high occupancy with premium pricing, and increasing rents as market conditions permit;
  •   managing community occupancy for optimal rental revenue levels; and
  •   applying new technology to optimize revenue from each community.

Controlling operating expenses is another way in which we intend to increase earnings growth. Growth in our portfolio and the resulting increase in revenue allows for fixed operating costs to be spread over a larger volume of revenue, thereby increasing operating margins. We control operating expenses as follows:

  •   receive and approve invoices on-site to ensure careful monitoring of budgeted versus actual expenses;
  •   purchase supplies in bulk where possible;
  •   bid third-party contracts on a volume basis;
  •   strive to retain residents through high levels of service in order to eliminate the cost of preparing an apartment home for a new resident and to reduce marketing and vacant apartment utility costs;
  •   perform turnover work in-house or hire third-parties, generally depending upon the least costly alternative;
  •   undertake preventive maintenance regularly to maximize resident satisfaction and property and equipment life; and
  •   aggressively pursue real estate tax appeals.

On-site property management teams receive bonuses based largely upon the net operating income produced at their respective communities.

We generally manage the operation and leasing activity of our communities directly (and not through a subsidiary) both for ourselves and the joint ventures and partnerships of which we are a member or a partner.

We are also pursuing ancillary services which could provide additional revenue sources. In general, as a REIT we cannot directly provide services to our tenants that are not customarily provided by a landlord, nor can we share in the income of a third party that provides such services. However, we can provide such non-customary services to residents if we do so through a “taxable REIT subsidiary,” which is a subsidiary that is treated as a “C corporation” and is therefore subject to federal income taxes. We have used taxable REIT subsidiaries on a limited basis, such as to receive a commission from a “preferred provider” maid service company used by residents.

3


 

Technology Strategy. We believe that an innovative management information system infrastructure is an important element in managing our future growth. This is because timely and accurate collection of financial and resident profile data will enable us to maximize revenue through careful leasing decisions and financial management.

We currently have minority investments in three technology companies. These investments were made with the belief that they would promote the development and application of technology and services which would improve the operating performance of our real estate holdings. Our technology investments consist of (i) an entity engaged in the development and deployment of an on-site property management and leasing automation system that enables management to capture, review and analyze data to a greater extent than is possible using existing commercial software; (ii) an entity formed by a number of real estate investment trusts and real estate operating companies for the purpose of investing in multi-sector real estate technology opportunities; and (iii) an internet-based rental housing information provider.

Financing Strategy. We have consistently maintained, and intend to continue to maintain, a capital structure that is aligned to the business risks presented by our corporate strategy. At December 31, 2003, our debt-to-total market capitalization was 39.9%, and our permanent long-term floating rate debt, not including borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, was 1.4% of total market capitalization. Total market capitalization reflects the aggregate of the market value of our common stock, the market value of our operating partnership units outstanding (based on the market value of our common stock), the liquidation preference of our preferred stock and the outstanding principal amount of our debt.

We estimate that a portion of our short-term liquidity needs will be met from retained operating cash and borrowings under our variable rate unsecured credit facility. If required to meet the balance of our current or anticipated liquidity needs, we will attempt to arrange additional capacity under our existing unsecured credit facility, sell existing communities or land and/or issue additional debt or equity securities. A determination to engage in an equity or debt offering depends on a variety of factors such as general market and economic conditions, including interest rates, our short and long term liquidity needs, the adequacy of our expected liquidity sources, the relative costs of debt and equity capital, and growth opportunities. A summary of debt and equity activity for the last three years is reflected on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 of this report.

While we believe we have the financial position to expand our short-term credit capacity and access the capital markets as needed, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in completing these arrangements, sales or offerings. The failure to complete these transactions on a cost-effective basis or at all could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

We may, from time to time, enter into joint ventures (including limited liability companies) or partnerships through which we would own an indirect economic interest in less than 100% of the property or properties owned directly by such joint venture or partnership. Our decision whether to hold an apartment community in fee simple or to have an indirect interest in the community through a joint venture or partnership is based on a variety of facts and considerations, including: (i) the economic and tax terms required by a seller of land or of a community, who may prefer that (or who may require less payment if) the land or community is contributed to a joint venture or partnership; (ii) our desire to diversify our portfolio of communities by market, submarket and product type; (iii) our desire at times to preserve our capital resources to maintain liquidity or balance sheet strength; and (iv) our projection, in some circumstances, that we will achieve higher returns on our invested capital or reduce our risk if a joint venture or partnership vehicle is used. Any future investments in joint ventures or partnerships will not be limited to a specified percentage of our assets. Each joint venture or partnership agreement is individually negotiated, and our ability to operate and/or dispose of a community in our sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture or partnership agreement.

In addition, we may, from time to time, offer shares of our equity securities, debt securities or options to purchase stock in exchange for property.

While we emphasize equity real estate investments in apartment communities, we have the ability, which would be exercised in the discretion of our Board of Directors, to invest in other types of real estate, mortgages (including participating or convertible mortgages), securities of other REITs or real estate operating companies, or securities of

4


 

technology companies that relate to our real estate operations or of companies that provide services to us or our residents, in each case consistent with our qualification as a REIT. On occasion, we own and operate retail space at our communities when either (i) the highest and best use of the space is for retail (e.g., street level in an urban area) or (ii) we believe the retail space will enhance the attractiveness of the community to residents. As of December 31, 2003, we had a total of 192,040 square feet of rentable retail space that produced gross rental revenue in 2003 of $2,329,000 (0.4% of total revenue). Any investment in securities of other entities is subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for REIT qualification. Our current policy does not contemplate future investments in mortgages or deeds of trust.

We have not engaged in trading, underwriting or agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers and do not intend to do so. At all times we intend to make investments in a manner as to qualify as a REIT unless, because of circumstances or changes to the Internal Revenue Code (or the Treasury Regulations), the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to qualify as a REIT.

Inflation and Deflation

Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less, which may enable us to realize increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or the beginning of new leases. Such short-term leases generally minimize the risk to us of the adverse effects of inflation, although as a general rule these leases permit residents to leave at the end of the lease term and therefore our rental revenues are impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms. Short-term leases combined with relatively consistent demand have allowed rents, and therefore cash flow from the portfolio, to provide an attractive inflation hedge. However, in a deflationary rent environment as is currently being experienced, we are exposed to declining rents more quickly under these shorter-term leases.

Tax Matters

We filed an election with our initial federal income tax return to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, we will not be taxed under federal and certain state income tax laws at the corporate level on our net income to the extent net income is distributed to our stockholders. We expect to make sufficient distributions to avoid income tax at the corporate level.

Competition

We face competition from other real estate investors, including insurance companies, pension and investment funds, partnerships and investment companies and other apartment REITs, to acquire and develop apartment communities and acquire land for future development. As an owner and operator of apartment communities, we also face competition for prospective residents from other operators whose communities may be perceived to offer a better location or better amenities or whose rent may be perceived as a better value proposition given the quality, location and amenities that the resident seeks. We also compete with the condominium and single-family home markets. Although we often compete against large sophisticated developers and operators for development opportunities and for prospective residents, real estate developers and operators of any size can provide effective competition.

Environmental and Related Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and ordinances, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required, regardless of knowledge or responsibility, to investigate and remediate the effects of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and remediation costs incurred by these parties as a result of the contamination. These damages and costs may be substantial. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate the contamination, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to borrow against, sell or rent the affected property. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs as a result of the contamination.

5


 

Certain federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials (“ACMs”) when such materials are in poor condition or in the event of reconstruction, remodeling, renovation, or demolition of a building. These laws may impose liability for release of ACMs and may provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to ACMs. We are not aware that any ACMs were used in the construction of the communities we developed. ACMs were, however, used in the construction of several of the communities that we acquired. We have implemented an operations and maintenance program for each of the communities at which ACMs have been detected. We do not anticipate that we will incur any material liabilities as a result of the presence of ACMs at our communities.

We are aware that some of our communities have lead paint and have implemented an operations and maintenance program at each of those communities. We do not anticipate that we will incur any material liabilities as a result of the presence of lead paint at our communities.

All of our stabilized operating communities, and all of the communities that we are currently developing or redeveloping, have been subjected to at least a Phase I or similar environmental assessment, which generally does not involve invasive techniques such as soil or ground water sampling. These assessments, together with subsurface assessments conducted on some properties, have not revealed, and we are not otherwise aware of, any environmental conditions that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, financial condition or results of operations. In connection with our ownership, operation and development of communities, from time to time we undertake remedial action in response to the presence of subsurface or other contaminants. In some cases, an indemnity exists upon which we may be able to rely if environmental liability arises from the contamination. There can be no assurance, however, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that environmental liability arises.

Mold growth may occur when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Although the occurrence of mold at multifamily and other structures, and the need to remediate such mold, is not a new phenomenon, there has been increased awareness in recent years that certain molds may in some instances lead to adverse health effects, including allergic or other reactions. To help limit mold growth, we educate residents about the importance of adequate ventilation and request or require that they notify us when they see mold or excessive moisture. We have established procedures for promptly addressing and remediating mold or excessive moisture from apartment homes when we become aware of its presence regardless of whether we or the resident believe a health risk is present. However, we cannot assure that mold or excessive moisture will be detected and remediated in a timely manner. If a significant mold problem arises at one of our communities, we could be required to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected community and could be exposed to other liabilities.

Additionally, we have occasionally been involved in developing, managing, leasing and operating various properties for third parties. Consequently, we may be considered to have been an operator of such properties and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs or other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances. We are not aware of any material environmental liabilities with respect to properties managed or developed by us or our predecessors for such third parties.

We cannot assure you that:

  •   the environmental assessments described above have identified all potential environmental liabilities;
  •   no prior owner created any material environmental condition not known to us or the consultants who prepared the assessments;
  •   no environmental liabilities have developed since the environmental assessments were prepared;
  •   the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our communities, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, will not affect the environmental condition of our communities;
  •   future uses or conditions, including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, will not result in the imposition of environmental liability; and
  •   no environmental liabilities will develop at communities that we have sold for which we may have liability.

Other Information

Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge in the “Investor Relations” section of our website (www.avalonbay.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1978. In 1995, we reincorporated in the State of Maryland and have been focused on the ownership and operation of apartment communities since that time. As of December 31, 2003, we had 1,622 employees.

ITEM 2.  COMMUNITIES

Our real estate investments consist primarily of current operating apartment communities, communities in various stages of development (“Development Communities”) and Development Rights as defined below. Our current operating communities are further distinguished as Established Communities, Other Stabilized Communities, Lease-Up Communities and Redevelopment Communities. The following is a description of each category:

Current Communities are categorized as Established, Other Stabilized, Lease-Up, or Redevelopment according to the following attributes:

  •   Established Communities (also known as Same Store Communities) are communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful, as these communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year. We determine which of our communities fall into the Established Communities category annually as of January 1st of each year and maintain that classification throughout the year. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Established Communities are communities that had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of January 1, 2002 and are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities, as described below, and are not held for sale or planned for disposition within the current year. We consider a community to have stabilized occupancy at the earlier of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment.
 
 
  •   Other Stabilized Communities includes all other completed communities that have stabilized occupancy, as defined above. Other Stabilized Communities do not include communities that are conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year.

7


 

  •   Lease-Up Communities are communities where construction has been complete for less than one year and where physical occupancy has not reached 95%.
 
 
  •   Redevelopment Communities are communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is planned to begin during the current year. Redevelopment is considered substantial when capital invested during the reconstruction effort exceeds the lesser of $5,000,000 or 10% of the community’s acquisition cost.

Development Communities are communities that are under construction and for which a final certificate of occupancy has not been received. These communities may be partially complete and operating.

Development Rights are development opportunities in the early phase of the development process for which we either have an option to acquire land or enter into a leasehold interest, for which we are the buyer under a long-term conditional contract to purchase land or where we own land to develop a new community. We capitalize related pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new developments for which we currently believe future development is probable.

Current Communities

The Current Communities are primarily garden-style apartment communities consisting of two and three-story buildings in landscaped settings. The Current Communities, as of February 27, 2004, include 98 garden-style (of which 10 are mixed communities and include townhomes), 19 high-rise and 14 mid-rise apartment communities. The Current Communities offer many attractive amenities including some or all of the following:

  •   vaulted ceilings;
  •   lofts;
  •   fireplaces;
  •   patios/decks; and
  •   modern appliances.

Other features at various communities may include:

  •   swimming pools;
  •   fitness centers;
  •   tennis courts; and
  •   business centers.

We also have an extensive and ongoing maintenance program to keep all communities and apartment homes substantially free of deferred maintenance and, where vacant, available for immediate occupancy. We believe that the aesthetic appeal of our communities and a service oriented property management team, focused on the specific needs of residents, enhances market appeal to discriminating residents. We believe this will ultimately achieve higher rental rates and occupancy levels while minimizing resident turnover and operating expenses.

We manage and operate all of the Current Communities. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we completed construction of 1,959 apartment homes in seven communities and sold 3,634 apartment homes in twelve communities. The average age of the Current Communities, on a weighted average basis according to number of apartment homes, is 8.1 years.

Of the Current Communities, as of February 27, 2004, we own:

  •   a fee simple, or absolute, ownership interest in 104 operating communities;
  •   a fee simple, or absolute, ownership interest in four operating communities which are on land subject to land leases expiring in January 2062, April 2095, May 2099 and March 2142;
  •   a general partnership interest in three partnerships that each own a fee simple interest in an operating community;
  •   a general partnership interest in five partnerships structured as “DownREITs,” as described more fully below, that own an aggregate of 15 communities;
  •   a membership interest in four limited liability companies that each hold a fee simple interest in an operating community, two of which are on land subject to land leases with one lease expiring in July 2029 and one lease expiring in November 2089; and

10


 

  •   a 100% interest in a senior participating mortgage note secured by one community, which allows us to share in part of the rental income or resale proceeds of the community.

We also hold a fee simple ownership interest in nine of the Development Communities, a membership interest in a limited liability company that owns one Development Community and a general partnership interest in a partnership structured as a “DownREIT” that owns one Development Community.

In each of our six partnerships structured as DownREITs, either AvalonBay or one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner, and there are one or more limited partners whose interest in the partnership is represented by units of limited partnership interest. For each DownREIT partnership, limited partners are entitled to receive an initial distribution before any distribution is made to the general partner. Although the partnership agreements for each of the DownREITs are different, generally the distributions per unit paid to the holders of units of limited partnership interests have approximated our current common stock dividend amount. Each DownREIT partnership has been structured so that it is unlikely the limited partners will be entitled to a distribution greater than the initial distribution provided for in the applicable partnership agreement. The holders of units of limited partnership interest have the right to present each unit of limited partnership interest for redemption for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of redemption. In lieu of a cash redemption by the partnership, we may elect to acquire any unit presented for redemption for one share of our common stock or for such cash amount. As of February 27, 2004, there were 589,412 DownREIT partnership units outstanding. The DownREIT partnerships are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.
