FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



In addition to historical information, we have made forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements pertain to, among other things, our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of
operations. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. You should not rely on these statements as predictions of future events because we cannot assure you that the events or circumstances reflected in the statements can be
achieved or will occur. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as believes, expects, may, will, should, seeks, approximately, intends,
plans, pro forma, estimates or anticipates or their negative form or other variations, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, data or
methods that may be incorrect or imprecise or incapable of being realized. The following factors, among others, could affect actual results and future events: defaults or non-renewal of leases, increased interest rates and operating costs, failure
to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations, inability to dispose of assets that no longer meet our
investment criteria under acceptable terms and conditions, risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such
activities), failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning
laws and increases in real property tax rates. Our success also depends on general economic trends, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and other factors, including those risk factors
discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors in this report as they may be updated from time to time by our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Do not rely solely on forward-looking statements, which only
reflect managements analysis. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

BRE PROPERTIES, INC.

PART I



Item
1.    BUSINESS



References in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K to BRE, we or us refer to BRE Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation.



Corporate Profile



We are a self-administered equity real estate investment trust, or REIT, focused on the development, acquisition and management of multifamily apartment
communities in seven targeted metropolitan markets of the Western United States. At December 31, 2005, our multifamily portfolio had real estate assets with a net book value of approximately $2.6 billion, which included: 85 wholly or majority
owned stabilized multifamily communities, aggregating 23,954 units in California, Washington, Arizona and Colorado; two stabilized multifamily communities owned through joint venture agreements, comprised of 488 apartment units; and nine apartment
communities in various stages of construction and development totaling 2,312 units. We have been a publicly traded company since our founding in 1970 and have paid 141 consecutive quarterly dividends to our shareholders since inception.



Our business touches one of the most personal aspects of our
customers lives  the place they call home. We believe this creates not just a responsibility, but an opportunity to set ourselves apart by seeing things from our residents point of view and putting them first in all we do. The
power of this viewpoint is that what is good for our resident is good for our company. As we build relationships with the people and communities we serve, we set ourselves apart in the marketplace and create long-term, income-producing investments
for our shareholders. Our principal operating objective is to maximize the economic returns of our apartment communities so as to provide our shareholders with the greatest possible total return and value. To achieve this objective, we pursue the
following primary strategies and goals:



| |  |  | Communicate a clear, results-oriented strategic direction based on the five-year plan developed by our Board of Directors and Management, that is the driver behind all key
decisions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Manage our business to yield a compelling combination of income and growth by achieving and maintaining high occupancy levels, dynamic pricing, and operating margin expansion
through operating efficiencies and cost controls, and deploying new and recycled capital to supply-constrained markets of the Western United States;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintain balance sheet strength and maximize financial flexibility to provide continued access to attractively priced capital for strategic growth opportunities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Respond openly and honestly to all investors by disclosing financial results comprehensively and efficiently, and making our business transparent to investors through our
public disclosure; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Create a valuable customer experience that focuses on services from residents point of view, and generates increased profitability from resident retention and
referrals.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We believe we can best achieve our
objectives by developing, acquiring and internally managing high-quality apartment communities in high-demand, supply-constrained locations in the most attractive places to live in the Western United States, specifically costal California. Our
communities are generally near the business, transportation, employment and recreation centers essential to customers who value the convenience, service and flexibility of rental living. Recognizing that customers have many housing choices, we focus
on developing and acquiring apartment homes with customer-defined amenities and providing professional management services, delivered by well-trained associates. We have concentrated our investment and business focus in California and other markets
in the Western United States because of certain market characteristics that we find attractive,

including the propensity to rent and a housing supply that currently cannot keep pace with population and employment growth. From time to time, we dispose of
assets that do not meet our long-term investment criteria, recycling the capital derived from property sales into apartment communities in supply-constrained locations that offer higher long-term return opportunities.



Events During 2005



During 2005, we acquired three communities totaling 684 units for approximately $128,400,000. During the first quarter 2005,
we acquired Sterling Downs, with 124 units located in Chino Hills, California, for a purchase price of $26,000,000. In the second quarter 2005 we acquired Mission Grove, with 432 units located in Riverside, California, for a purchase price of
$75,800,000. In October 2005, we acquired Palm Court, with 128 units located in Los Angeles, California, for a purchase price of $26,600,000.



During 2005, we sold three communities totaling 928 units: Pinnacle Canyon View, with 288 units located in Orem, Utah; Pinnacle Mountain View, with 324
units located in the Clearfield, Utah area; and Scottsdale Cove with 316 units, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The three communities were sold for an aggregate sales price of approximately $89,200,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of
approximately $26,897,000. The sale of these communities completed our exit from the Salt Lake City market.



We continue to expand our development activities. As of December 31, 2005, we owned six sites that were under construction and three parcels of land
that are going through entitlement process. The total investment on the nine sites is expected to be $600,000,000. Estimated completion dates range from first quarter 2006 to fourth quarter 2008.



On May 19, 2005, we closed an offering of $150,000,000 of five year
senior unsecured notes. The notes will mature on May 15, 2010 with a coupon rate of 4.875%. Net proceeds from the offering, after all discounts, commissions and issuance costs, totaled approximately $148,087,000 and were used for general
corporate purposes.



During the second quarter of 2005, we
decreased the borrowings on our secured credit facility with Fannie Mae from $140,000,000 to $75,000,000. In August 2005, BRE amended the credit facility to reduce the number of multifamily communities securing the line from nine to four and
modified certain geographical diversification requirements. These four multifamily communities are held by a consolidated subsidiary of BRE. Current borrowings under the facility bear interest at variable rates with maturities ranging from one to
nine months, plus a facility fee of 0.65%. Borrowings under the secured credit facility totaled $75,000,000 at December 31, 2005.



Events During 2004



During 2004, we acquired six communities totaling 1,559 units for approximately $268,200,000. During first quarter 2004, we acquired four communities with
an aggregate purchase price of $68,700,000: Summerwind Townhomes, with 200 units; Regency Palm Court, with 116 units; Windsor Court, with 95 units; and Tiffany Court, with 101 units, all located in Los Angeles, California. During the third and
fourth quarters of 2004, we acquired two communities with a total of 423 units on contiguous parcels of land located in Redmond, Washington for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $62,400,000. Management of the two communities has been
combined, so that they are now treated as one community The Trails of Redmond. In December 2004, we acquired Villa Azure Apartments, with 624 units located in Los Angeles, California, for a purchase price of $137,100,000.



During 2004, we completed three development communities: Pinnacle at
Westridge, with 234 units in Valencia, California; Pinnacle at Talega Phase II, with 110 units in San Clemente, California; and Pinnacle at Fullerton, with 192 units in Fullerton, California.

During 2004, we sold three communities totaling 878 units: Pinnacle Stonecreek, with 226 units located in
Phoenix Arizona; Pinnacle Reserve, with 492 units located in the Salt Lake City, Utah area; and Pinnacle Fort Union with 160 units, also located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The three communities were sold for an aggregate sales price of approximately
$98,625,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $19,925,000.



On January 29, 2004, we redeemed all 2,150,000 shares of 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.17118 per share. The redemption price was equal to the original issuance
price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. We expensed the original preferred stock issuance costs during the fourth quarter of 2003, when we announced the redemption.



On March 15, 2004, we closed an offering of 4,000,000 shares of 6.75%
Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25 per share. The preferred shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BRE_prc. Net proceeds from the offering, after all discounts, commissions and
issuance costs, totaled approximately $96,436,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



On March 17, 2004, we closed an offering of $100,000,000 of dual-tranche Medium-Term Notes under a medium term note program initiated in 2001. The
offering included $50,000,000 of five-year notes with a coupon rate of 3.58%, and $50,000,000 of 10-year notes with a coupon rate of 4.70%. Net proceeds from the offering, after all discounts, commissions and issuance costs, totaled approximately
$99,437,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



During the first quarter of 2004, we increased the size of our secured credit facility with Fannie Mae (serviced by Prudential Multifamily Mortgage, Inc.) from $100,000,000 to $140,000,000. Borrowings under the secured credit facility
totaled $140,000,000 at December 31, 2004. The credit facility was secured by nine multifamily communities, which are held by a consolidated subsidiary of BRE. The average borrowing rate was 2.3% for 2004, including the facility fee.



On December 9, 2004, we closed an offering of 3,000,000
shares of 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25 per share. The preferred shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BRE_prd. Net proceeds from the offering, after all discounts,
commissions and issuance costs, totaled approximately $72,436,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



On May 20, 2004, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to provide for our moving from a staggered board structure toward the election of all
directors annually. Under the amendment, each of the classes of directors currently in office will serve out the balance of their current three-year terms, and afterwards their successors will be elected for one-year terms.



During 2004, we completed the Chief Executive Officer transition from Frank
C. McDowell to Constance B. Moore. During 2004, Mr. McDowell served as Vice Chairman and CEO, and Ms. Moore served as President and Chief Operating Officer. At the end of the year, the transition was deemed complete. Mr. McDowell
retired on January 1, 2005, and Ms. Moore became President and CEO on that date.



Events During 2003



During 2003, we acquired three properties totaling 1,038 units for approximately $116,000,000. The properties are: Corona Pointe, acquired September 15, 2003, with 714 units located in Riverside, California; The Enclave at Town Square,
acquired October 31, 2003, with 124 units located in Chino Hills, California; and Canyon Creek, acquired December 18, 2003, with 200 units located in Northridge, California.



During 2003, we also completed the development and lease-up of two communities: Pinnacle Denver Tech Center, with a total of
420 units located in the Denver suburb of Greenwood Village, Colorado; and Pinnacle Talega Phase I, with 252 units located in San Clemente, California. Both communities went through the lease-up phase during 2003 and were stabilized as of
December 31, 2003.

---

During 2003, we sold three communities totaling 1,100 units: Berkshire Court, with 250 units, located in
the Portland Oregon metro area and Brookdale Glenn with 354 units, also located in Portland, Oregon; and Newport Landing, with 480 units, located in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. The sale of the two Portland area assets completed our exit
from that market. The three communities were sold for an aggregate sales price of approximately $72,600,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $23,147,000.



On April 4, 2003, we amended and renewed our revolving unsecured credit facility through April 2006, maintaining an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.70%, plus a facility fee of 0.20%. We also elected to reduce the borrowing capacity from $450,000,000 to $350,000,000 on the unsecured credit facility at that time.



On May 2, 2003, we established a $100,000,000 Fannie Mae secured credit
facility. The secured credit facility matures in 2008 and was originally secured by five multifamily communities. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at variable rates with maturities from one to nine months, plus a facility fee of up to
0.65%. Drawings on the lines of credit are available to fund our investment activities and for general corporate purposes.



On September 16, 2003, we closed a public offering of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were offered to the public through the
underwriter at a public offering price of $33.10 per share. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter 2003, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 450,000 shares. Net proceeds from the offeringafter all
discounts, commissions and issuance coststotaled approximately $112,300,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



During 2003, we settled a lawsuit that was filed by an unrelated third party in 2002 regarding the Pinnacle at MacArthur Place joint venture agreement.
Under the terms of the settlement, we paid the third party $6,500,000 and retained full ownership of the asset. Also during 2003, we reached a settlement agreement regarding a class action lawsuit that was brought against us with respect to
application fees charged residents from August 1998 to August 2003. Under terms of the settlement, we agreed to establish a $200,000 fund to reimburse the subject applicants up to $5.00 per applicant, and to pay certain related administration
charges and legal expenses. Both settlement amounts, including all related legal and administrative costs, aggregate $7,305,000 and are reported as other expenses on the consolidated income statement.



In November of 2003, we announced a one-year executive succession plan,
culminating with the retirement of Frank C. McDowell, BREs President and Chief Executive Officer, from the role of Chief Executive Officer at the end of 2004. On January 1, 2004, Mr. McDowell assumed the role of Vice Chairman and
CEO, and Constance B. Moore became BREs President and Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Moore was named President and CEO on January 1, 2005.



Competition



All of our communities are located in developed areas that include other multifamily communities. There are numerous other multifamily properties and real
estate companies within these areas that compete with us for residents and development and acquisition opportunities. Such competition could have a material effect on our ability to lease apartment homes at our communities or at any newly developed
or acquired communities and on the rents charged. We may be competing with others that have greater resources than us. In addition, other forms of residential properties, including single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to potential
residents of upscale apartment communities.



Structure, Tax Status and
Investment Policy



We are organized to operate so as to
qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the terms of the Internal Revenue Code, we generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent we
distribute 100% of our taxable income to our



6



---

shareholders. REITs are subject to a number of complex organizational and operational requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our taxable income may
be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates. See Risk FactorsTax Risks.



Our long-range investment policy emphasizes the development, construction and acquisition of multifamily communities located in California and other
markets in the Western United States. As circumstances warrant, certain properties may be sold and the proceeds reinvested into multifamily communities that our management believes better align with our growth objectives. Among other items, this
policy is intended to enable our management to monitor developments in local real estate markets and to take an active role in managing our properties and improving their performance. The policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board of Directors
and may be modified in the future to take into account changes in business or economic conditions, as circumstances warrant.



Employees



As of December 31, 2005, we had 824 employees. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS



The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Risks Due to
Investment in Real Estate



Decreased revenues or
increased operating expenses may cause decreased yields from an investment in real property.



Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from investments in real estate depend upon the amount of revenues
generated and expenses incurred. If properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our results from operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders will be
adversely affected. The performance of the economy in each of the areas in which the properties are located affects occupancy, market rental rates and expenses. These factors consequently can have an impact on revenues from the properties and their
underlying values. The financial results and labor decisions of major local employers may also have an impact on the revenues from and value of certain properties.



Other factors may further adversely affect revenues from and values of our properties. These factors include the general
economic climate, local conditions in the areas in which properties are located such as an oversupply of apartment units or a reduction in the demand for apartment units, the attractiveness of the properties to residents, competition from other
multifamily communities and our ability to provide adequate facilities maintenance, services and amenities. Our revenues would also be adversely affected if residents were unable to pay rent or we were unable to rent apartments on favorable terms.
If we were unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for a significant number of apartment units, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than expected rates, then our funds from operations would, and our ability
to make expected distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt may, be adversely affected. There is also a risk that as leases on the properties expire, residents will vacate or enter into new leases on terms that are less
favorable to us. Operating costs, including real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, and mortgage payments, if any, do not, in general, decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from a property. We could sustain a loss as a
result of foreclosure on the property, if a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we were unable to meet our mortgage payments. In addition, applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of
financing also affect revenues from properties and real estate values.



If we are unable to implement our growth strategy, or if we fail to identify, acquire or integrate new acquisitions, our results may suffer.



Our future growth will be dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to identify acceptable properties for development and acquisition,
complete acquisitions and developments on favorable terms, successfully integrate acquired and newly developed properties, and obtain financing to support expansion. We cannot assure that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy,
that growth will continue at historical levels or at all, or that any expansion will improve operating results. The failure to identify, acquire and integrate new properties effectively could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to
make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.



Development and construction projects may not be completed or completed successfully.



As a general matter, property development and construction projects typically have a higher, and sometimes substantially higher, level of risk than the
acquisition of existing properties. We intend to actively pursue



9



---

development and construction of multifamily apartment communities. We cannot assure that we will complete development of the properties currently under
development or any other development project that we may undertake. Risks associated with our development and construction activities may include the following:



| |  |  | development opportunities may be abandoned;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | construction costs of multifamily apartment communities may exceed original estimates, possibly making the communities uneconomical;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | occupancy rates and rents at newly completed communities may not be sufficient to make the communities profitable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | financing for the construction and development of projects may not be available on favorable terms or at all;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses of operating a completed community may be higher than anticipated.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



In addition, development and construction activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require a substantial portion
of managements time and attention. Development and construction activities are also subject to risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other required
governmental permits and authorizations.



Investments in
newly acquired properties may not perform in accordance with our expectations.



In the normal course of business, we typically evaluate potential acquisitions, enter into non-binding letters of intent, and may, at any time, enter into contracts to acquire and may acquire additional properties.
However, we cannot assure that we will have the financial resources to make suitable acquisitions or those properties that satisfy our investment policies will be available for acquisition. Acquisitions of properties entail risks that investments
will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. Estimates of the costs of improvements to bring an acquired property up to standards established for the market position intended for that property might prove inaccurate. Other risks may include
rehabilitation costs exceeding original estimates, possibly making a project uneconomical; financing not being available on favorable terms or at all; and rehabilitation and lease-up not being completed on schedule. In addition, there are general
real estate investment risks associated with any new real estate investment, including environmental risks. Although we undertake an evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment before it is acquired, certain defects or necessary
repairs may not be detected until after the investment is acquired. This could significantly increase our total acquisition costs, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay
amounts due on our debt.



Illiquidity of real estate and
reinvestment risk may reduce economic returns to investors.



Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, tend to limit our ability to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Code places certain limits on the
number of properties a REIT may sell without adverse tax consequences. To affect our current operating strategy, we have in the past raised, and will seek to continue to raise additional funds, both through outside financing and through the orderly
disposition of assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. Depending upon interest rates, current development and acquisition opportunities and other factors, generally we will reinvest the proceeds in additional multifamily properties,
although such funds may be employed in other uses. In the markets we have targeted for future acquisition of multifamily properties, there is considerable buying competition from other real estate companies, many of which may have greater resources,
experience or expertise than we. In many cases, this competition for acquisition properties has resulted in an increase in property prices and a decrease in property yields. Due to the relatively low capitalization rates currently prevailing in the
pricing of potential



10



---

acquisitions of multifamily properties which meet our investment criteria, we cannot assure that the proceeds realized from the disposition of assets, which
no longer meet our investment criteria, can be reinvested to produce economic returns comparable to those being realized from the properties disposed of, or that we will be able to acquire properties meeting our investment criteria. If we are unable
to reinvest proceeds from the assets that no longer meet our investment criteria, or if properties acquired with such proceeds produce a lower rate of return than the properties disposed of, our results of operations may be materially affected. In
addition, a delay in reinvestment of such proceeds may have a material adverse effect on us.



We may seek to structure future dispositions as tax-free exchanges, where appropriate, utilizing the non-recognition provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code to defer income taxation on the
disposition of the exchanged property. For an exchange of these properties to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, certain technical requirements must be met. Given the competition for properties
meeting our investment criteria, it may be difficult for us to identify suitable properties within the applicable time frames in order to meet the requirements of Section 1031. Even if we can structure a suitable tax-deferred exchange, as noted
above, we cannot assure that we will reinvest the proceeds of any of these dispositions to produce economic returns comparable to those currently being realized from the properties which were disposed of.



Substantial competition among multifamily properties and real estate
companies may adversely affect our rental revenues and development and acquisition opportunities.



All of the properties currently owned by us are located in developed areas. There are numerous other multifamily properties and real estate companies,
many of which have greater financial and other resources than we have, within the market area of each of our properties which compete with us for residents and development and acquisition opportunities. The number of competitive multifamily
properties and real estate companies in these areas could have a material effect on (1) our ability to rent the apartments and the rents charged, and (2) development and acquisition opportunities. The activities of these competitors could
cause us to pay a higher price for a new property than we otherwise would have paid or may prevent us from purchasing a desired property at all, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our
shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.



Our
operations are concentrated in the Western United States; we are subject to general economic conditions in the regions in which we operate.



Our portfolio is primarily located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles/Orange County, San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle, the Denver area and Phoenix.
Our performance could be adversely affected by economic conditions in, and other factors relating to, these geographic areas, including supply and demand for apartments in these areas, zoning and other regulatory conditions and competition from
other properties and alternative forms of housing. In that regard, certain of these areas have in the recent past experienced economic recessions and depressed conditions in the local real estate or rental markets. To the extent general economic or
social conditions in any of these areas further deteriorate or any of these areas experiences natural disasters, the value of the portfolio, our results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due
on our debt could be materially adversely affected.



Our
insurance coverage is limited and may not cover all losses to our properties.



We carry comprehensive liability, fire, mold, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to our properties with certain policy specifications, limits and deductibles. While as of December 31, 2005,
we carried flood and earthquake insurance for our properties with an aggregate annual limit of $150,000,000, subject to substantial deductibles, we cannot assure that this coverage will be available on acceptable terms or at an acceptable cost, or
at all, in the future, or if obtained, that the limits of those policies will cover the full cost of



11



---

repair or replacement of covered properties. In addition, there may be certain extraordinary losses (such as those resulting from civil unrest or terrorist
acts) that are not generally insured (or fully insured against) or underinsured losses (such as those resulting from claims in connection with the occurrence of mold, asbestos, and lead) because they are either uninsurable or not economically
insurable. Should an uninsured or underinsured loss occur to a property, we could be required to use our own funds for restoration or lose all or part of our investment in, and anticipated revenues from, the property and would continue to be
obligated on any mortgage indebtedness on the property. Any such loss could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay amounts due on our debt.



One property, Red Hawk Ranch Apartments, a 453-unit operating community in
Fremont, California, requires extensive replacement work to correct damage we believe was caused by construction defects. We estimate that the costs of remediation will approximate up to $22,000,000. We are currently pursuing litigation against the
third party builder and various sub-contractors. If we are not able to recover these costs either through litigation, it would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.



Adverse changes in laws may affect our potential liability relating to our
properties and our operations.



Increases in real estate
taxes and income, service and transfer taxes cannot always be passed through to residents or users in the form of higher rents, and may adversely affect our cash available for distribution and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders
and to pay amounts due on our debt. Similarly, changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, as well as changes in laws
affecting development, construction and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay amounts due on our
debt. In addition, future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing may reduce rental revenues or increase operating costs.



Compliance with laws benefiting disabled persons may require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures or impact
our investment strategy.



A number of federal, state and
local laws (including the Americans with Disabilities Act) and regulations exist that may require modifications to existing buildings or restrict certain renovations by requiring improved access to such buildings by disabled persons and may require
other structural features which add to the cost of buildings under construction. Legislation or regulations adopted in the future may impose further burdens or restrictions on us with respect to improved access by disabled persons. The costs of
compliance with these laws and regulations may be substantial, and limits or restrictions on construction or completion of certain renovations may limit implementation of our investment strategy in certain instances or reduce overall returns on our
investments, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt. We review our properties periodically to determine the level of compliance and, if necessary,
take appropriate action to bring such properties into compliance. We believe, based on property reviews to date, that the costs of such compliance should not have a material adverse effect on us. These conclusions are based upon currently available
information and data, and we cannot assure that further review and analysis of our properties, or future legal interpretations or legislative changes, will not significantly increase the costs of compliance.



The operations of BRE Property Investors LLC are limited.



Eleven of our properties are held by BRE Property Investors LLC, which is
referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as the operating company. We are the sole managing member of the operating company and, as of December 31, 2005, held approximately a 92% equity interest in it. Third parties as non-managing
members hold the remaining equity interests in the operating company.



12

Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement governing the operations of the operating
company, the operating company is required to maintain certain debt service coverage, debt-to-asset and other financial ratios intended to protect the members rights to receive distributions. In addition, with respect to the outstanding debt
for two properties, the operating company is restricted from repaying its debt or taking certain other specified actions that could have adverse tax consequences for the members. Further, we, as the managing member, are restricted from taking
certain other specified actionseither absolutely or without the consent of a majority in interest of the non-managing members (or of the non-managing members affected thereby)including, but not limited to, any actions:



| |  |  | that would make it impossible to carry out the business of the operating company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that would subject a non-managing member to liability as a managing member; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that would cause the operating company to institute bankruptcy proceedings or permit an automatic judgment to be entered against it by a creditor.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The requirement to maintain financial ratios and the restrictions on the
actions of the operating company and us as managing member could have a material adverse affect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.



Further, under the terms of the operating companys limited liability
company agreement, the operating company must obtain the consent of a majority in interest of the non-managing members in order to:



| |  |  | dispose of two of the properties held by the operating company in a taxable sale or exchange prior to November 18, 2007, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | dissolve the operating company other than in certain limited circumstances specified in the operating companys limited liability company agreement, such as a sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, or any merger, consolidation or other combination by us with or into another person, or reclassification, recapitalization or change of our outstanding equity interests.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These restrictions on our ability to dispose of a portion of our properties
and to dissolve the operating company, even when such a disposition or dissolution of the operating company would be in our best interest, could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to
pay amounts due on our debt.



The operating company also must
distribute all available cash (as defined in the operating companys limited liability company agreement) on a quarterly basis as follows: first, a priority distribution to members (other than us) until each member has received, cumulatively on
a per operating company unit basis, distributions equal to the cumulative dividends declared with respect to one share of BRE common stock over the corresponding period (subject to adjustment from time to time as applicable to account for stock
dividends, stock splits and similar transactions affecting BRE common stock); and second, the balance to us.



If the operating companys available cash in any quarterly period is insufficient to permit distribution of the full amount of the priority
distribution described above for that quarter, we are required to make a capital contribution to the operating company in an amount equal to the lesser of:



| |  |  | the amount necessary to permit the full priority distribution, or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an amount equal to the sum of any capital expenditures made by the operating company plus the sum of any payments made by the operating company on account of any loans to or
investments in, or any guarantees of the obligations of, BRE or our affiliates for that quarterly period.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



13



---

We may not voluntarily withdraw from the operating company or transfer all or any portion of our interest
in the operating company without the consent of all of the non-managing members, except in certain limited circumstances, such as a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or any merger, consolidation or other combination by us with or into
another person, or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of our outstanding equity interests. Such restrictions on our withdrawal as the managing member of the operating company, and on our ability to transfer our interest in the
operating company, could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.



Survey exceptions to certain title insurance policies may result in incomplete coverage in the event of a claim.



We have not obtained updated surveys for all of the properties we have
acquired or developed. Because updated surveys were not always obtained, the title insurance policies obtained by us may contain exceptions for matters that an updated survey might have disclosed. Such matters might include such things as boundary
encroachments, unrecorded easements or similar matters, which would have been reflected on a survey. Moreover, because no updated surveys were prepared for some properties, we cannot assure that the title insurance policies in fact cover the
entirety of the real property, buildings, fixtures, and improvements which we believe they cover, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.



Risks Due to Real Estate Financing



We anticipate that future developments and acquisitions will be financed, in whole or in part, under various construction loans, lines of credit, and
other forms of secured or unsecured financing or through the issuance of additional debt or equity by us. We expect periodically to review our financing options regarding the appropriate mix of debt and equity financing. Equity, rather than debt,
financing of future developments or acquisitions could have a dilutive effect on the interests of our existing shareholders. Similarly, there are certain risks involved with financing future developments and acquisitions with debt, including those
described below. In addition, if new developments are financed through construction loans, there is a risk that, upon completion of construction, permanent financing for such properties may not be available or may be available only on
disadvantageous terms or that the cash flow from new properties will be insufficient to cover debt service. If a newly developed or acquired property is unsuccessful, our losses may exceed our investment in the property. Any of the foregoing could
have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.



We may be unable to renew, repay or refinance our outstanding debt.



We are subject to the normal risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be
insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, the risk that indebtedness on our properties, or unsecured indebtedness, will not be able to be renewed, repaid or refinanced when due or that the terms of any renewal or refinancing
will not be as favorable as the existing terms of such indebtedness. If we were unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we might be forced to dispose of one or more of the properties on disadvantageous terms, which might
result in losses to us. Such losses could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay amounts due on our debt. Furthermore, if a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and
we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon the property, appoint a receiver and receive an assignment of rents and leases or pursue other remedies, all with a consequent loss of our revenues and asset value.
Foreclosures could also create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, thereby hindering our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.



Rising interest rates would increase the cost of our variable rate debt.



We have incurred and expect in the future to incur indebtedness and interest
rate hedges that bear interest at variable rates. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could have a



14



---

material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders or cause us to be in default under certain debt instruments. In
addition, an increase in market interest rates may lead holders of our common shares to demand a higher yield on their shares from distributions by us, which could adversely affect the market price for our common stock.



We may incur additional debt in the future.



We currently fund the acquisition and development of multifamily communities
partially through borrowings (including our lines of credit) as well as from other sources such as sales of properties which no longer meet our investment criteria or the contribution of property to joint ventures which may in turn secure debt. Our
organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, subject to limitations on indebtedness set forth in various loan agreements, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an
increase in debt service, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt and in an increased risk of default on our obligations.



The restrictive terms of certain of our indebtedness may cause
acceleration of debt payments.



At December 31, 2005,
we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $1.6 billion. Our indebtedness contains financial covenants as to minimum net worth, interest coverage ratios, maximum secured debt, and total debt to capital, among others. In the event that an event
of default occurs, our lenders may declare borrowings under the respective loan agreements to be due and payable immediately, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay
amounts due on our debt.



Failure to hedge effectively
against interest rates may adversely affect results of operations.



We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements involve risks, such as the risk that the
counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes and that a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally
enforceable. Hedging may reduce overall returns on our investments. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our results of operations.



Potential Liability Under Environmental Laws



Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real
estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around or under such property. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of, or failure to remediate properly, hazardous or toxic substances may adversely affect the owners or operators ability to sell or rent the affected
property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at a disposal or
treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by the person. Certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may also seek recovery from owners or
operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous or toxic substances. Federal and state laws also regulate the operation and subsequent removal of certain underground storage tanks.
In connection with the current or former ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management, development and/or control of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of such properties or as having arranged for the disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other costs, including governmental fines, and claims for injuries to persons and property.



15



---

Our current policy is to obtain a Phase I environmental study on each property we seek to acquire and to
proceed accordingly. We cannot assure, however, that the Phase I environmental studies or other environmental studies undertaken with respect to any of our current or future properties will reveal:



| |  |  | all or the full extent of potential environmental liabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that any prior owner or operator of a property did not create any material environmental condition unknown to us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any one or more of such properties; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Certain environmental laws impose liability on a
previous owner of property to the extent that hazardous or toxic substances were present during the prior ownership period. A transfer of the property does not relieve an owner of such liability. Thus, we may have liability with respect to
properties previously sold by our predecessors or us.



Recently
there has been an increasing number of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties alleging personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in residential real estate. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in
substantial monetary judgments or settlements. Insurance carriers have reacted to these liability awards by excluding mold related claims from standard policies and pricing mold endorsements separately. We have obtained a separate pollution
insurance policy that covers mold-related claims and have adopted programs designed to minimize the existence of mold in any of our properties as well as guidelines for promptly addressing and resolving reports of mold. To the extent not covered by
our pollution policy, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from residents and others if property damage, health concerns, or allegations thereof, arise.



Risks Associated with Our Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting



Our business could be adversely impacted if we have deficiencies in our
disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.



The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management continues to
review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we can not assure you that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be effective in
accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Deficiencies, particularly material weaknesses, in internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements
of our financial statements, a decline in our stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operation, financial condition or liquidity.



Ranking of Securities and Subordination of Claims



A portion of our operations is conducted through our subsidiaries, including the operating company. Our cash flow and the
consequent ability to make distributions and other payments on our equity securities and to service our debt will be partially dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us, or upon loans or other
payments of funds made by our subsidiaries to us. In addition, debt or other arrangements of our subsidiaries may impose restrictions that affect, among other things, our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends or make other distributions or
loans to us.



16



---

Likewise, a portion of our consolidated assets is owned by our subsidiaries, effectively subordinating
certain of our unsecured indebtedness to all existing and future liabilities, including indebtedness, trade payables, lease obligations and guarantees of our subsidiaries. The operating company has guaranteed amounts due under our unsecured credit
facility with a syndicate of banks. Likewise, any other of our subsidiaries with assets or net income which, when multiplied by our effective percentage ownership interest in such subsidiary exceeds $30,000,000 or 5% of our consolidated net income,
respectively, is required to guarantee the repayment of borrowings under the credit facility. The operating company and other of our subsidiaries may also, from time to time, guarantee other of our indebtedness. Therefore, our rights and rights of
our creditors, including the holders of other unsecured indebtedness, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latters liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiarys creditors, except
to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary, in which case our claims would still be effectively subordinate to any security interests in or mortgages or other liens on the assets of such
subsidiary and would be subordinate to any indebtedness of such subsidiary senior to that held by us.



Provisions in our Charter and Bylaws That Could Limit a Change in Control or Deter a Takeover



In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by
five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities). In order to protect us against risk of losing our status as a REIT due to a concentration of ownership among our shareholders, our charter provides that
any shareholder must, upon demand, disclose to our board of directors in writing such information with respect to such shareholders direct and indirect ownership of the shares of our stock as we deem necessary to permit us to comply or to
verify compliance with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, or the requirements of any other taxing authority. Our charter further provides, among other things, that if our board of directors determines, in good faith, that direct or
indirect ownership of BRE stock has or may become concentrated to an extent that would prevent us from qualifying as a REIT, our board of directors may prevent the transfer of BRE stock or call for redemption (by lot or other means affecting one or
more shareholders selected in the sole discretion of our board of directors) of a number of shares of BRE stock sufficient in the opinion of our board of directors to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of BRE stock into conformity
with the requirements for maintaining REIT status. These limitations may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of us by a third party without consent of our board of directors.



In addition, certain other provisions contained in our charter and bylaws may
have the effect of discouraging a third-party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change in control. Our charter includes provisions granting our board of directors the authority to issue preferred stock from time to
time and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of such preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders, restrictions on our shareholders ability to remove directors and fill vacancies on our board of directors, restrictions
on unsolicited business combinations and restrictions on our shareholders ability to amend our charter. Our bylaws contain restrictions on our shareholders ability to call special meetings of our board of directors and to take action
without a meeting, provisions granting our board of directors the power to amend our bylaws, provisions allowing our board of directors to increase its size, and restrictions on the transfer of shares of our capital stock with respect to the
preservation of our REIT status. Such provisions may deter tender offers for BRE stock, which offers may be attractive to our shareholders, or deter purchases of large blocks of BRE stock, thereby limiting the opportunity for shareholders to receive
a premium for their shares of BRE stock over then-prevailing market prices.



Tax Risks



Risks related to our REIT
status.



We believe we have operated and intend to
continue operating in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. However, we cannot assure you that we



17



---

have in fact operated, or will be able to continue to operate, in a manner so as to qualify, or remain qualified, as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves
the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our
control. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the composition of our assets and a requirement that at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from
qualifying sources, such as rents from real property. Also, we must make distributions to shareholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains. In addition, legislation, new regulations,
administrative interpretations or court decisions may materially adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments.



Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,
we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax, in the event we sell property as a dealer.



If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax)
on our taxable income at corporate rates, which would likely have a material adverse effect on us, our share price and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and to pay amounts due on our debt. In addition, unless entitled to relief
under certain statutory provisions, we would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. This treatment would reduce funds available for investment or distribution
to our shareholders because of the additional tax liability to us for the year or years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our shareholders. To the extent that distributions to our shareholders would have
been made in anticipation of qualifying as a REIT, we might be required to borrow funds or to liquidate certain investments to pay the applicable tax. Finally, we cannot assure you that new legislation, new regulations, administrative
interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.

Our business focus is
the ownership and operation of multifamily communities; we evaluate performance and allocate resources primarily based on the net operating income (NOI) of an individual multifamily community. We define NOI as the excess of all revenue
generated by the community (primarily rental revenue) less direct real estate expenses. Accordingly, NOI does not take into account community-specific costs such as depreciation, capitalized expenditures and interest expense. NOI, including NOI from
discontinued operations, totaled approximately $229,000,000, $207,000,000 and $194,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively.

We consider community
level and portfolio-wide NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core property operations prior to the allocation of any corporate-level property management
overhead or general and administrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of the real estate, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because
prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real
estate asset or groups of assets.



However, because NOI
excludes depreciation and does not capture the change in the value of our communities resulting from operational use and market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures required to adequately maintain the communities (all of which have real
economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI consistently with our definition and, accordingly, our NOI may not be
comparable to such other REITs NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund
our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. NOI also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States GAAP).

Insurance, Property Taxes and Income Tax Basis



We carry comprehensive liability, fire, pollution, extended coverage and
rental loss insurance on our properties with certain policy specifications, limits and deductibles. In addition, at December 31, 2005, we carried flood and earthquake coverage with an annual aggregate limit of $150,000,000 (after policy
deductibles ranging from 2%-5% of damages). Management believes the properties are adequately covered by such insurance.



Property taxes on portfolio properties are assessed on asset values based on the valuation method and tax rate used by the respective jurisdictions. The
gross carrying value of our direct investments in operating rental properties was $2,741,378,000 as of December 31, 2005. On the same date our assets had an underlying federal income tax basis of approximately $2,469,776,000, reflecting, among
other factors, the carryover of basis on tax-deferred exchanges.

Delaware corporation. The lease covers 28,339 rentable square feet at annual per square foot rents, which were $22.00 as of December 31, 2005. The lease term ends on January 1, 2015. We also maintain regional offices in: Seattle,
Washington; Irvine and San Diego, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Denver, Colorado.



Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



On April 14, 1997, we purchased Red Hawk Ranch Apartments, a 453-unit operating community in Fremont, California, from an unrelated third party builder. The community now requires extensive replacement work to correct damage we believe
was caused by construction defects. On March 18, 2003, we filed suit in the Alameda County Superior Court against the builder and other parties to protect against statutes of limitation. We have conducted testing to determine the extent of the
damage. Based upon the testing that has been performed, we have discovered that the exterior shell of each building at the community has been compromised. As a result, during second quarter 2004 the size and scope of the lawsuit was expanded.



Litigation and consulting charges recognized during 2005 and
2004 totaled $2,670,000 and $2,727,000 respectively, and are reported as other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The charges reported include litigation costs and consulting fees incurred to date during destructive testing to
determine the extent of the damage and required reconstruction.



We commenced reconstruction during the second quarter of 2005 and expect to have the community restored during the next 12 to 15 months. On January 27, 2006 we reached a settlement in connection with the Red Hawk Ranch apartment
community. Under terms of the settlement, we will receive an aggregate of $17,500,000 from various defendants and the assignment of certain agreements and claims associated with three subcontractors against whom the company intends to continue
litigation.



All settlement funds have been deposited to an
escrow account. The settlement is contingent on a determination by the court that it constitutes a good faith settlement under California law. The hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2006 and is subject to a thirty day appeal process. In accordance
with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies a gain contingency should be recognized in the period it is received and realized. If the contingency is removed, the amount realized will be recorded as other income during that period. We
expect that costs of remediation will approximate up to $22,000,000, and future plaintiff litigation costs may exceed $1,000,000.



Under the provisions of FAS 144, we have performed an impairment analysis on Red Hawk Ranch Apartments using undiscounted cash flows, which reflect the
anticipated decreased net operating income during reconstruction. No impairment charge was deemed necessary based on this analysis. The net book value of the components of the buildings that are damaged and being replaced approximate $9,400,000 and
are being depreciated over the reconstruction period. Additional depreciation recognized during 2005 and 2004 totaled approximately $4,298,000 and $2,600,000 respectively. During reconstruction, costs that extend the useful life of the asset,
increase its value or enhance safety of the community will be capitalized. All other costs, including legal and consulting, will be expensed as incurred.

|1 |  | FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental performance measure of an
equity REIT. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income or loss (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) excluding extraordinary items as defined under
GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the
NAREIT definition.

| |  | We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with
GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate

| | performance measure because it excludes historical cost depreciation, as well as gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated property, from
GAAP net income. By excluding depreciation and gains or losses on sales of real estate, management uses FFO to measure returns on its investments in real estate assets. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither
the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact
our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Management also believes that FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, is useful to investors in providing more meaningful comparisons of the
operating performance of a companys real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be
sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of a REITs operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs due to
the fact that not all REITs use the NAREIT definition or apply/interpret the definition differently. For 2005, FFO included a gain on sale of a minority interest in partnership totaling $4.6M.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Executive Summary



We are a self-administered equity real estate investment trust or REIT focused on the development, acquisition and management of multifamily apartment
communities in seven metropolitan markets of the Western United States. At December 31, 2005, our portfolio had real estate assets with a net book value of approximately $2.6 billion that included 85 wholly or majority owned completed apartment
communities, aggregating 23,954 units; two multifamily communities owned in joint ventures, comprised of 488 apartment units; and nine apartment communities in various stages of construction and development, totaling 2,312 units. We earn revenue and
generate cash primarily by collecting monthly rent from our apartment residents.



Our 2005 operating results reflect improved operating fundamentals, as a result of increased job growth in all of our operating markets. During the year, market rents increased on average 5% supporting annual revenue
growth of more than 4% in our same-store portfolio. Additionally, portfolio-wide physical occupancy averaged more than 94%, turnover was 62%, and operating expense growth was approximately 2%.



We continued a capital recycling program initiated in 2000, which is focused
on concentrating our portfolio in California and Seattle, Washington. During 2005 we completed the exit from Salt Lake City and announced our intention to reduce investment levels in Denver and Phoenix. The result of the recycling program which is
near completion is that 91% of our fourth quarter 2005 net operating income comes from the coastal supply constrained markets of California and Seattle, Washington.



We have continued to experience sustained growth in our Southern California markets, which comprised 55% of our real estate
net operating income in 2005. Market rents in Southern California have increased 11% over the past three years while occupancy and turnover have remained stable. Management has focused its investment activities in the Southern California markets due
to these market dynamics, and has acquired 1,820 units, completed the development of 536 units and commenced construction on another 1,312 units in this region during the last two years.

During 2005 market rents in the San Francisco Bay Area market stabilized and by the end of 2005 had
increased 7% to $1,440 per unit, up from $1,348 in 2004. The 2005 increase in market rents was preceded by four years of declining rents, the result of weak economic conditions and job losses. Market rents in our Bay Area portfolio peaked in the
third quarter of 2000 at approximately $2,000 per unit and declined sequentially to an average of $1,348 per unit by the end of 2004. While the market level rents have stabilized and improved in 2005, management does not expect market rents to fully
recover in this region until there is discernable job growth. We continue to closely monitor and act upon the key operating metricsmarket rent, occupancy and turnoverin each of our markets.



Our 85 wholly or majority owned apartment communities can be categorized as
follows to better understand our overall results:



| |  |  | 18,286 units in 65 communities were completed and stabilized for all of 2005 and 2004 (same-store communities);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 2,243 units in nine communities were acquired in 2005 or 2004 and as a result did not have comparable year-over-year operating results;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 788 units in three development communities were completed and stabilized during 2005 and 2004 and as a result did not have comparable year-over-year operating results;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 2,184 units in seven communities are classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 453 units in one community require significant reconstruction.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



In addition to year-over-year economic operating performance, our results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2005 were affected by
income derived from acquisitions and completions of apartment communities, offset by the cost of capital associated with financing these transactions. Our book capitalization grew to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2005, from $2.0 billion at
December 31, 2002, reflecting capital raised through offerings of debt, perpetual preferred stock and common stock.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Comparison of the Years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003



Revenues



Total revenues were $329,265,000 in 2005, $300,383,000 in 2004, and $277,127,000 in 2003, including revenues from discontinued operations. The increase in
rental and ancillary income in 2005 and 2004 was primarily derived from properties acquired and developed along with an increase in market rents and stable occupancy during the past three years. Same-store communities in 2005 produced an
increase of $10,049,000, or 4.2% as compared to 2004. Same-store communities in 2004 produced a modest increase of $1,084,000, as compared to 2003. A summary of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 follows:

Rental and Ancillary Income



As described above, the increase in rental and ancillary revenues primarily relates to acquired and developed communities.
The following table summarizes our multifamily property acquisitions, development properties completed and dispositions for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (dollar amounts are gross acquisition costs in the case of
acquisitions, total delivered cost in the case of completed development communities and gross sales prices in the case of property dispositions):

The property
acquisitions and development properties completed, noted above, are considered Non same-store communities and increased rental and ancillary revenues by $27,815,000 and $22,525,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. In 2005, on a same-store basis, rental and ancillary revenues increased $10,049,000, or 4.2%, primarily due to positive market rent trends. Monthly market rents in the same-store portfolio grew to $1,202 per
unit from $1,144, or 5%, per unit in 2004. In 2004 same store revenues were slightly positive for the first time since 2000 reflecting improved fundamentals.

Partnership and other income

increase in 2005 from 2004 was driven by a $4,575,000 gain on the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated partnership, in addition to bankruptcy proceeds of approximately $1,028,000 from Velocity HSI, Inc., our former Internet business. The
increase in 2004 from 2003 is primarily driven by gains on sales of underlying assets in an unconsolidated partnership in 2004.

Real estate expenses for multifamily rental properties (which include repairs and maintenance, utilities,
on-site staff payroll, property taxes, insurance, advertising and other direct operating expenses) increased $11,038,000, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the prior year. The 684 units acquired in 2005, combined with
2004 acquisition and development units operating for a full year, drive the year-over-year increase. Same-store expenses increased $1,560,000, or 2%, in 2005 which approximates inflation and is consistent with historical levels. Real
estate expenses shown in the table above exclude real estate expense from discontinued operations which totaled $8,163,000, $12,593,000 and $12,785,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively.



Provision for depreciation



The provision for depreciation, excluding depreciation from discontinued
operations, increased by $14,467,000, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 2004, and increased $11,298,000, or 25%, for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003. The increases in 2005 and 2004 resulted
primarily from higher depreciable bases on new property acquisitions and development properties completed. Additionally, depreciation recorded in 2005 and 2004 includes $4,298,000 and $2,600,000 respectively in accelerated depreciation recorded on
components of our Red Hawk Ranch community that requires reconstruction.



Interest expense



During the past three years, our interest expense has increased due to higher average debt balances to support our acquisition and development activities and a rising interest rate environment in 2005. During 2005 our, weighted average
interest rates increased to 6.0% from 5.6% in 2004 and 2003. Interest expense, excluding interest expense from discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 follows:

General and
administrative expenses



General and administrative
expenses for the three years ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:



|                                                                                    |  |      |            |   |      |   |            |      |  |   |            |

The increase in 2005 is primarily due to changes in the long term incentive compensation plan, increased
professional fees and additional staffing expense. The increase in 2004 is primarily due to increases in compensation, costs associated with compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, other professional fees and insurance
costs. In addition, in 2003 we began expensing the cost associated with stock options in accordance with FAS 123. Stock based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense totaled $2,704,000, $1,470,000 and $907,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



Office rent totaling $1,504,000, $1,179,000 and $1,283,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is included in general and administrative expense.



Other expenses



Other expenses totaled $2,670,000 in 2005, representing the litigation and
consulting costs incurred in connection with the construction defect litigation we are pursuing against the builder of our Red Hawk Ranch Community, located in Fremont, California.



Other expenses of $6,807,000 in 2004 include a CEO retirement charge of $4,080,000 and $2,727,000 for legal and consulting
charges related to the Red Hawk Ranch litigation. On December 13, 2004, the board of directors determined the leadership transition between the CEO, Mr. Frank McDowell, and Ms. Constance Moore was complete. As a result, future service
by Mr. McDowell as an executive consultant, as specified in his Executive Transition Employment Agreement, was no longer viewed as necessary. The board and Mr. McDowell mutually agreed to exercise the early termination without cause
provision of this agreement, such that Mr. McDowell retired from BRE and the board effective January 1, 2005. The early termination resulted in a one-time charge of approximately $4,080,000 during fourth quarter 2004, rather than
recognizing a monthly expense over the next two years of service by Mr. McDowell. The charge is comprised of approximately $2,050,000 in cash payments and $2,030,000 in non-cash charges related to the fair value of stock options and restricted
shares that vested under the agreement.



During 2003, we
executed a settlement agreement in connection with litigation with an unrelated third party regarding the Pinnacle at MacArthur Place joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we paid the third party $6,500,000 and
retained full ownership of the asset. Pinnacle at MacArthur Place is a recently developed and stabilized, 253-unit community in Santa Ana, California. Also during 2003, we reached a settlement agreement regarding a class action lawsuit brought
against us with respect to application fees charged to residents from August 1998 to August 2003. Under the terms of the settlement, we agreed to establish a $200,000 fund to reimburse prior applicants up to $5.00 per applicant, and to pay certain
related administration charges and legal expenses. The combined settlement amounts, legal fees and related expenses aggregate $7,305,000, and are reported as other expenses on our consolidated statement of income.



Minority interests in income



Minority interests in income relate to the earnings attributable to the
minority members of our consolidated subsidiaries and were $3,535,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, up from $2,509,000 and $3,196,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Minority interests and
consequently, minority interests in income, primarily increased in 2005 as a result of the consolidation of a variable interest entity under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
Minority interests and consequently, minority interests in income declined in 2004 from 2003 as operating company unit holders of BRE Property Investors LLC exchanged their units for shares of BRE common stock. No operating company units were
converted into common shares in 2005. Conversions of operating company units to common shares totaled 9,336 and 233,083 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Discontinued operations



SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires the results of
operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period to be classified as discontinued operations. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations
include all property-related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, and property-specific interest expense to the extent there is secured debt on the property. In addition, the
net gain or loss on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale is reported as discontinued operations.



During 2005, we sold the three operating communities, which we held for sale at December 31, 2004, with a total of 928 units. The communities were
sold for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $89,200,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $26,897,000. At December 31, 2005, seven operating communities were classified as held for sale under the provisions of SFAS
144. No depreciation has been recorded on these communities since September 2005.



During 2004, we sold three operating communities with a total of 878 units. The communities were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $98,600,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately
$19,925,000.



During 2003, we sold three operating communities
with a total of 1,100 units. The communities were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $72,600,000, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $23,147,000.



The net gain on sale and the combined results of operations for these sixteen communities for each year presented are
included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income. These amounts totaled $38,665,000, $36,612,000 and $40,211,000 for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



Dividends attributable to preferred stock



Dividends attributable to preferred stock represent the dividends on our
8.50% Series A, 8.08% Series B, 6.75% Series C and 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Dividend payments totaled $17,873,000, $12,114,000 and $10,629,000 for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. All of our currently
outstanding series of preferred stock have a $25.00 per share liquidation preference.



Net income available to common shareholders



As a result of the various factors mentioned above, net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $63,075,000, or $1.22 per diluted share, as compared with $61,427,000, or
$1.21 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $70,175,000, or $1.48 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in multifamily apartment communities. These
investments are expected to be funded through a variety of sources. These sources may include internally generated cash, temporary borrowings under our revolving unsecured line of credit, proceeds from asset sales, public and private offerings of
debt and equity securities, and in some cases the assumption of secured borrowings. To the extent that these additional investments are initially financed with temporary borrowings under our revolving unsecured line of credit, we anticipate that
permanent financing will be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, proceeds from asset sales and secured debt. We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to

fund operations, meet debt service and dividend requirements, and finance future investments. As of December 31, 2005, we had seven properties held for
sale. We do not expect the sale of these properties to have a material effect on future liquidity and capital resources.



On May 19, 2005, we closed an offering of $150,000,000 of five year senior unsecured notes. The notes will mature on May 15, 2010 with a coupon
rate of 4.875%. Net proceeds from the offering, after all discounts, commissions and issuance costs, totaled approximately $148,087,000.



On March 15, 2004, we closed an offering of 4,000,000 shares of 6.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of
$25 per share. Net proceeds from the offeringafter all discounts, commissions and issuance coststotaled approximately $96,436,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



On December 9, 2004, we closed an offering of 3,000,000 shares of 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
at a public offering price of $25 per share. Net proceeds from the offeringafter all discounts, commissions and issuance coststotaled approximately $72,436,000 and were used for general corporate purposes.



On March 17, 2004, we closed an offering of $100,000,000 of dual-tranche
Medium-Term Notes under a medium term note program initiated in 2001. The offering included $50,000,000 of five-year notes with a coupon rate of 3.58%, and $50,000,000 of 10-year notes with a coupon rate of 4.70%.



Proceeds from these offerings have been used for general corporate purposes,
including the repayment of debt, redemption of equity securities, funding for development activities and financing for acquisitions. Pending these uses, we initially used the proceeds from these offerings to reduce borrowings under our revolving
unsecured credit facility.



Borrowings under our revolving
unsecured line of credit totaled $301,000,000 at December 31, 2005, compared to $187,000,000 at December 31, 2004. Drawings on the revolving unsecured line of credit are available to fund our investment activities and general corporate
purposes. We typically reduce our outstanding balance on the revolving unsecured line of credit with available cash balances.



Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter 2005, we replaced our existing credit facility with a $600,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit with a
group of 14 lenders. The new credit facility has a four-year term with a one-year extension, which is available at our sole option. Based on our current debt ratings, the line of credit is priced at LIBOR plus 57.5 basis points. Initial borrowings
under the new credit facility in the amount $311,000,000 were used to repay the previous credit facility and for other general corporate purposes. Upon repayment we terminated our previous credit facility. The new credit facility will be used to
fund acquisition and development activities as well as for general working capital purposes.



During the second quarter of 2005, we decreased the borrowings on our secured credit facility with Fannie Mae from $140,000,000 to $75,000,000. In August 2005, we amended the credit facility to reduce the number of
multifamily communities securing the line from nine to four and modified certain geographical diversification requirements. These four multifamily communities are held by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Current borrowings under the
facility bear interest at variable rates with maturities from one to nine months, plus a facility fee of 0.65%. Our borrowing cost, including interest, margin and fees, averaged 4.01% for 2005. Subject to the terms of the facility, we have the
option to increase its size to $250,000,000. Borrowings under the secured facility are limited by the value of the properties we have pledged as security. Drawings under the facility are available to fund our investment activities and for general
corporate purposes. The facility matures in 2008.

In addition, at
December 31, 2005, we had mortgage indebtedness totaling $204,574,000 at an average interest rate of 6.06%, and remaining terms of from less than one to seven years.



As of December 31, 2005, we had total outstanding debt balances of $1,560,574,000 and total outstanding
shareholders equity and minority interests of $1,087,817,000, representing a debt to total book capitalization ratio of approximately 59%.



Our indebtedness contains financial covenants as to minimum net worth, interest coverage ratios, maximum secured debt and total debt to capital, among
others. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants throughout the year ended December 31, 2005.



We anticipate that we will continue to require outside sources of financing to meet our long-term liquidity needs beyond 2005, including scheduled debt
repayments, construction funding and property acquisitions. At December 31, 2005, we had an estimated cost of $156,000,000 to complete existing construction in progress, with funding estimated from 2006 through 2007.



Scheduled contractual obligations required for the next five years and
thereafter are as follows:

We manage joint
venture investments that are recorded under the equity method of accounting with total assets of approximately $43,800,000 as of December 31, 2005. These joint ventures carry debt totaling approximately $18,800,000, none of which is guaranteed
by us at December 31, 2005.



During the first quarter of
2004, we filed a new shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which we may issue up to $700,000,000 of securities, including debt securities, common stock and preferred stock. Our recent $150,000,000 note
offering and our Series D, preferred stock offering totaling $75,000,000 reduced the amount available for future issuances under this registration statement to $475,000,000. Depending upon market conditions, we may issue securities under this or
under future registration statements. Proceeds from issuances under our existing shelf registration statement may be used for general corporate purposes, including investing in additional multifamily communities, funding development

activities, capital expenditures, redemption of securities, increasing our working capital and repaying indebtedness. Pending the application of the net
proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or temporarily reduce borrowings under our revolving unsecured line of credit.



We continue to consider other sources of possible funding, including further joint ventures and additional secured
construction debt. We own unencumbered real estate assets that could be sold, contributed to joint ventures or used as collateral for financing purposes (subject to certain lender restrictions) and have encumbered assets with significant equity that
could be further encumbered should other sources of capital not be available.



Critical Accounting Policies



We define
critical accounting policies as those that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. A summary of our critical accounting policies follows. Additional discussion of accounting policies that we consider significant,
including further discussion of the critical accounting policies described below, can be found in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.



Investments in Rental Properties



Rental properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, less an adjustment, if any, for impairment. A land value is assigned based on the
purchase price if land is acquired separately, or based on market research if acquired in a merger or in an operating community acquisition. We have a development group which manages the design, development and construction of our apartment
communities. Projects under development are carried at cost, including direct and indirect costs incurred to ready the assets for their intended use and which are specifically identifiable, including capitalized interest and property taxes until
units are placed in service. Direct investment development projects are considered placed in service as certificates of occupancy are issued and the units become ready for occupancy. Depreciation begins as units are placed in service. Land acquired
for development is capitalized and reported as Land under development until the development plan for the land is formalized. Once the development plan is determined and construction contracts are signed, the costs are transferred to the
balance sheet line item Construction in progress. Interest is capitalized on the construction in progress at a rate equal to our weighted average cost of debt. The capitalization of interest ends when the assets are readied for their
intended use. Costs of replacements, such as appliances, carpets and drapes, are expensed. Improvements and betterments that increase the value of the property or extend its useful life are capitalized.



Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which generally range from 35 to 40 years for buildings and three to ten years for other property. The determination as to whether expenditures should be capitalized or expensed, and the period over which depreciation is
recognized, requires managements judgment.



In accordance
with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, our investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for indicators of impairment. The evaluation of impairment and the determination of
estimated fair value is based on several factors, and future events could occur which would cause management to conclude that indicators of impairment exist and a reduction in carrying value to estimated fair value is warranted. There were no assets
for which an adjustment for impairment in value was made in 2005, 2004 or 2003.



In the normal course of business, we will receive offers for sale of our properties, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers that are accepted, the prospective buyer will usually require a due diligence
period before consummation of the transaction. It is not unusual for matters to arise that result in the withdrawal or rejection of the offer during this process. We classify real estate as held for sale when all criteria under SFAS
No. 144 have been met.



33



---

SFAS No. 144 also requires that the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of any
communities that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements in all periods presented. The community specific real estate classified as held for sale is
stated at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less disposal costs. Depreciation is not recorded on assets classified as held for sale.



Stock-Based Compensation



Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). We have adopted the prospective method as provided for in SFAS 148, under which the
provisions of SFAS 123 are applied prospectively to all awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003. Prior to 2003, we accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, which resulted in no expense recognition. Under SFAS 123, we include in general and administrative expense a charge based on the grant date fair value of
options vesting in the current period. The change in accounting method did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The options are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.



Consolidation



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, which was revised in December 2003 (Interpretation No. 46), and addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). Under Interpretation No. 46, arrangements that are not
controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as VIEs. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.



Under Interpretation No. 46, a VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit
the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the entitys equity holders as a group either: (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity
through voting or similar rights, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity if they occur or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE
pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, the enterprise that is deemed to absorb a majority of the expected losses or receive a majority of expected residual returns of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.



Based on the provisions of FIN 46, we have concluded that
under certain circumstances when we (i) enter into option agreements for the purchase of land from an entity and pay a non-refundable deposit or (ii) enter into an arrangement with a financial partner for the formation of joint ventures
which engage in multifamily real estate projects, a VIE may be created under condition (ii) in the previous paragraph. For each VIE created, we compute expected losses and residual returns based on the probability of future cash flows. If we
are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the assets, liabilities and operations of the VIE will be consolidated with our financial statements.



We consolidate entities not deemed as VIEs which we have the ability to control. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BRE and
controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.



Impact of Inflation



Approximately 99% of our total revenues for 2005 were derived from apartment properties. Due to the short-term nature of most apartment unit leases
(typically one year or less), we may seek to adjust rents to



34



---

mitigate the impact of inflation upon renewal of existing leases or commencement of new leases, although we cannot assure that we will be able to adjust
rents in response to inflation. In addition, market rates may also fluctuate due to short-term leases and other permitted and non-permitted lease terminations.



Dividends Paid to Common and Preferred Shareholders and Distributions to Minority Members



A cash dividend has been paid to common shareholders each quarter since our inception in 1970. The payment of distributions
by BRE is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on numerous factors, including our cash flow, financial condition and capital requirements, REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other factors. Cash dividends per common
share were $2.00 in 2005 and $1.95 in 2004 and 2003. Total cash dividends paid to common shareholders for the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $101,744,000, $98,015,000, and $91,994,000, respectively. In 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively, $17,873,000, $11,791,000 and $10,629,000 in dividends were paid to preferred shareholders.



Distributions to minority members and operating company unit holders were $3,423,000 in 2005, $2,524,000 in 2004, and $3,206,000 in 2003.



Item 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Market risks relating to our operations result primarily
from changes in short-term LIBOR interest rates. We do not have any direct foreign exchange or other significant market risk.



Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our lines of credit. We primarily enter into fixed and variable rate debt
obligations to support general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and development, capital expenditures and working capital needs. We continuously evaluate our level of variable rate debt with respect to total debt and other factors,
including our assessment of the current and future economic environment. During 2004 we utilized four interest rate swap agreements to attain a floating rate of interest on a portion of our fixed rate debt. The objective of the agreements was to
lower our overall borrowing costs. The swaps hedged the fair market value of a portion of our debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The hedges were perfectly effective and, therefore, changes in the derivative fair
value and the change in fair value of the hedged items during the hedging period exactly offset with no valuation impact on our earnings. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps and their termination dates matched the principal amounts and
maturities of the hedged fixed rate debt balances. As of December 31, 2005 there are no rate swap contracts outstanding.



The fair values of our financial instruments (including such items in the financial statement captions as cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and lines of credit) approximate their carrying or contract values based on their nature, terms and interest rates that approximate current market rates. The fair value of mortgage loans payable and unsecured senior notes is estimated
using discounted cash flow analyses with an interest rate similar to that of current market borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of our mortgage loans and unsecured senior notes is approximately $1,226,219,000 at December 31, 2005,
as compared with a carrying value of $1,184,574,000 at that date.



We had $399,290,000 and $399,803,000 in variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates would have had an annualized unfavorable impact of approximately
$1,900,000 and $1,100,000 on our earnings and cash flows based on these period-end debt levels and our average variable interest rates for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We cannot predict the effect of adverse
changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt and, therefore, our exposure to market risk, nor can we assure that fixed rate, long-term debt will be available to us at advantageous pricing. Consequently, future results may differ materially
from the estimated adverse changes discussed above.

Item 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE



None.



Item 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than
those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.



As of December 31, 2005, the end of the quarter and fiscal year covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company on the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. We continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their
effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.



Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting



Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:



| | (1) |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;
| | --- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our board of directors; and
| | --- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



36



---

| | (3) |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements.
| | --- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Internal control over
financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject
to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material
misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the
process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.



Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, using the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal ControlIntegrated Framework published
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2005.



Managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in
their attestation report which is included herein.



Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



There was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Shareholders

of BRE Properties, Inc.



We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that BRE
Properties, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). BRE Properties, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



In
our opinion, managements assessment that BRE Properties, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our
opinion BRE Properties, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of BRE Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 and our
report dated February 24, 2006 express an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

BRE Properties, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BRE Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BRE Properties, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of BRE
Properties Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and
our report dated February 24, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

BRE PROPERTIES, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    Company



BRE Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (BRE or the Company), was formed in 1970. BRE is a self-administered real estate
investment trust (REIT) focused on the development, acquisition and management of multifamily apartment communities in the Western United States. At December 31, 2005, BREs portfolio, owned directly or through wholly or
majority owned subsidiaries, consisted of 85 multifamily communities (aggregating 23,954 units), classified as direct investments in real estate-investments in rental properties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Of these properties,
61 were located in California, 14 in Washington, five in Arizona, and five in Colorado. In addition, at December 31, 2005, there were nine properties under various stages of construction and development aggregating an estimated 2,312 units,
including six directly owned properties with 1,536 units classified as direct investments in real estate-construction in progress and three land parcels estimated to have 776 units which are classified as land under development. BRE also holds a 35%
interest in two real estate joint ventures that own two multifamily properties with a total of 488 units at December 31, 2005.



The Operating Company



In November 1997, BRE acquired 16 completed properties and eight development properties from certain entities of Trammell Crow Residential-West (the
Transaction) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the Contribution Agreement). BRE paid a total of approximately $160,000,000 in cash and issued $100,000,000 in common stock based on a stock price of $26.93 per share, as
provided for in the Contribution Agreement. In addition, certain entities received Operating Company Units (OC Units) valued at $76,000,000 in BRE Property Investors LLC (the Operating Company), a Delaware limited liability
company and a majority owned subsidiary of BRE. The Operating Company assumed approximately $120,000,000 in debt in connection with this purchase. BRE is the sole managing member and majority owner of the Operating Company at December 31, 2005.
Substantially all of the properties acquired in the Transaction are owned by the Operating Company, which was formed by BRE for the purpose of acquiring the properties in the Transaction.



The OC Units held by non-managing members are included in minority interests in the Companys consolidated financial
statements. Starting in November 1999, non-managing members of the Operating Company can exchange their units for cash in an amount equal to the market value of common stock at the time of the exchange or, at the option of the Company, common stock
of BRE on a 1:1 basis. As of December 31, 2005, 2,210,488 OC Units have been exchanged for common stock. The non-managing members are entitled to priority distributions regardless of the cash flows of the Operating Company. The Operating
Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios to protect the non-managing members distributions. Further, the Company has restrictions from selling certain assets of the Operating Company in a taxable sale for a ten year period
from the date of the Transaction. The Operating Company will continue until the earlier of conversion of all non-managing member OC Units, or September 25, 2012. The Operating Company has also guaranteed the repayment of the Companys
$350,000,000 unsecured line of credit.



2.    Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies



Consolidation



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation
No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was revised in December 2003 (Interpretation No. 46), and addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). Under Interpretation
No. 46, arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as VIEs. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.



49



---

Under Interpretation No. 46, a VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not
sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the entitys equity holders as a group either: (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make
decisions about the entity through voting or similar rights, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity if they occur or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an
entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, the enterprise that is deemed to absorb a majority of the expected losses or receive a majority of expected residual returns of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and
must consolidate the VIE.



Based on the provisions of
Interpretation No. 46, the Company has concluded that under certain circumstances when the Company (i) enters into option agreements for the purchase of land or communities from an entity and pays a non-refundable deposit, or
(ii) enters into arrangements for the formation of joint ventures, a VIE may be created under condition (ii) (b) or (c) of the previous paragraph. For each VIE created, the Company has computed expected losses and residual
returns based on the probability of future cash flows as outlined in Interpretation No. 46. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the assets, liabilities and operations of the VIE are consolidated with the
Companys financial statements.



For any unconsolidated
joint venture arrangements existing as of January 1, 2004, the Company has evaluated whether such joint venture arrangements represent variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company concluded that no
VIEs existed in which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company did not enter into any new joint venture arrangements during 2005.



During the first quarter of 2005, the Company entered into a 22-month lease with a put/call option arrangement with an unrelated third party of a recently
developed operating community located in Chino Hills, California. The total consideration payable under the put/call option is $26,000,000. The Company made a non-refundable deposit of $4,000,000 that will remain in escrow throughout the lease term
and will be applied towards the $26,000,000 purchase price, if purchased. At any time during the lease period the lessor can exercise a put option for the Company to purchase the asset. The Company is not obligated to purchase the asset if the
lessor exercises the put option, but would forfeit the deposit if the community was not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to the asset owned by the third party. Based on managements analysis, the Company determined that this
arrangement is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. The assets, liabilities and operations of the VIE are consolidated with the Companys financial statements. The beneficial interest holders of the VIE have no recourse to the
Companys general credit. The impact to the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005 is an increase of $26,000,000 to Direct investments in Real estate and a corresponding increase to Minority interest. The impact
to the consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was an increase in total revenues of $1,790,000, an increase in real estate expenses of $666,000, an increase in depreciation expense of $802,000 and an
increase to minority interest expense of $1,075,000.



In August
2003, BRE entered into a land option contract to purchase 13.6 acres of land located in Anaheim, California from an unrelated third party for $30,000,000. The acquisition closed on January 11, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the non-refundable
deposits made by BRE totaled $3,000,000 which represents the Companys maximum exposure to loss. The contractual relationship that provides for the future purchase of an asset is considered a variable interest as defined under Interpretation
No. 46. In accordance with the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, the Company has requested the private owner of the land to provide financial statement information that relates to the entity that holds title to the land. The private
owners have declined in writing to provide any key financial data. The Company has exhausted reasonable efforts to obtain data, and given the limited knowledge on the entity, the Company does not have enough data to determine if the
entity is a VIE. As a result, the Company is not consolidating the entity.



In addition to the deposit described above, at December 31, 2005, BRE has made non-refundable cash deposits for two purchase option agreements totaling approximately $1,963,000, which are included in other



50



---

assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The aggregate purchase price of properties under option is approximately $39,529,000. The option deposits generally
represent the Companys maximum exposure to loss if it elects not to purchase the optioned property. Based on analysis performed under FIN 46, the Company is not the primary beneficiary in any of the arrangements as of December 31, 2005.



BRE consolidates entities not deemed as VIEs that it has the
ability to control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Company and other controlled subsidiaries. At December 31, 2005, BRE owned 92% of the Operating Company. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Use of Estimates



The
preparation of consolidated financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its
real estate properties, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its accrued liabilities, its performance-based equity compensation plans, and its qualification as a REIT. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could vary under different assumptions or conditions.



Investments in Rental Properties



Rental properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, less
an adjustment, if any, for impairment. All properties are held for leasing activities. A land value is assigned based on the purchase price if land is acquired separately, or based on market research if acquired in a merger or in an operating
community acquisition. BRE has a development group which manages the design, development and construction of its apartment communities. Projects under development are carried at cost, including direct and indirect costs incurred to ready the assets
for their intended use and which are specifically identifiable, including capitalized interest and property taxes until units are placed in service. Direct investment development projects are considered placed in service as certificates of occupancy
are issued and the units become ready for occupancy. Depreciation begins as units are placed in service. Land acquired for development is capitalized and reported as Land under development until the development plan for the land is
formalized. Once the development plan is determined and construction contracts are signed, the costs are transferred to the balance sheet line item Construction in progress. Interest is capitalized on the Construction in progress at a
rate equal to the Companys weighted average cost of debt. The capitalization of interest ends when the assets are readied for their intended use. Costs of replacements, such as appliances, carpets and drapes, are expensed. Improvements and
betterments that increase the value of the property or extend its useful life are capitalized.



Under subcontractor agreements during the development and construction of an apartment community, a designated percentage of the subcontracted fee is retained until the end of the project to ensure the subcontractor
completes their task to the Companys approval. The Company records retention payable when the amount becomes a probable and estimable liability. Because the nature of the contracted work is to extend the useful life or make ready the subject
property for its intended use, the offsetting debit upon recording the liability is to the basis of the community. The retention liability is relieved when paid upon satisfaction of the contract.



Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which generally range from 35 to 45 years for buildings and three to ten years for other property.



The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, in 2002. SFAS No. 144 provides additional guidance on the



51



---

recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, and requires that the assets and liabilities and the
results of operations of any communities that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented.



The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in rental properties, for impairment
indicators. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, the expected holding period of each asset and legal and environmental concerns. Future events could
occur which would cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and an impairment loss is warranted. There were no assets for which an adjustment for impairment in value was made in 2005, 2004 or 2003.



In the normal course of business, BRE will receive offers for sale of its
properties, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers that are accepted, the prospective buyer will usually require a due diligence period before consummation of the transaction. It is not unusual for matters to arise that result in the
withdrawal or rejection of the offer during this process. The Company classifies real estate as held for sale when all of the following criteria have been met: management has committed to a plan to sell the asset, the asset is available
for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, the sale of the asset is probable within one year, the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its
current fair value, and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.



Specific components of net income that are presented as discontinued operations include the held for sale communities
operating results, depreciation and interest expense to the extent there is a secured loan on the property. In addition, the net gain or loss on the eventual disposal of communities held for sale will be presented as income from discontinued
operations when recognized. Real estate assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the cost to sell. Subsequent to classification of a community as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded
on the assets. Communities are presented as held for sale on the accompanying, consolidated balance sheets only in the period that they qualify for such treatment. Sales are generally recorded after title has been transferred to the buyer and after
appropriate payments have been received and other criteria met.



Equity Interests in Real Estate Joint Ventures



The Companys investments in non-controlled real estate joint ventures and joint ventures which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are recorded under the equity method of accounting on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Investments in real estate joint ventures that are managed or are being developed by the Company are included in equity interests in and advances to real estate joint ventures. Investments in real estate joint
ventures managed by third parties are included in other assets because such investments do not represent a core activity within BREs overall real estate investment strategy.



Conversion of Operating Company Units



Conversions of Operating Company units are accounted for at book value, with the minority interest amount for the related
converted unit being reclassified to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital.



Rental Revenue



Rental
income is recorded when due from residents and recognized monthly as it is earned, under lease terms which are generally for periods of one year or less. There were no contingent rental payments or percentage rents in the three years ended
December 31, 2005. Rent concessions are amortized over the lives of the related leases.



52



---

Cash



Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date acquired. The Company
maintains its cash at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a
concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company places its cash deposits and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions believed by management to be creditworthy and of high quality. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has a positive cash balance, which is included in other assets on the 2005 consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31,
2004, the Company had a negative cash balance related to bank overdraft. This balance is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the 2004 consolidated balance sheet.



Deferred Costs



Included in other assets are costs incurred in obtaining debt financing that are deferred and amortized over the terms of the respective debt agreements
as interest expense. Related amortization expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Net deferred financing costs included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are
$9,039,000 and $11,159,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization of deferred costs totaled $3,265,000, $3,298,000 and $3,874,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively.



Income Taxes



BRE has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code). As a result, BRE will not be subject to federal taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes, annually, at least 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its shareholders
and satisfies certain other requirements. In addition, the states in which BRE owns and operates real estate properties have provisions equivalent to the federal REIT provisions. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income
taxes at the REIT level in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments



The fair values of BREs financial instruments, including such items in the consolidated financial statement captions as other assets (which includes cash, mortgages receivable and interest rate swaps), and lines
of credit, approximate their carrying or contract values based on their nature, terms and interest rates that approximate current market rates. The fair value of mortgage loans payable and unsecured senior notes is estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses with an interest rate similar to that of current market borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Companys mortgage loans payable and unsecured senior notes was approximately $1,226,219,000 and $1,121,712,000 at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Stock-based
compensation



Effective January 1, 2003, BRE adopted
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS
No. 148). Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. BRE has adopted the prospective method as
provided for in SFAS No. 148, under which the provisions of SFAS No. 123 is applied prospectively to all awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003. Therefore, the cost related to stock-based compensation included in
the determination of consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value method had been applied to all option awards in prior years. Prior to 2003,
BRE accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Option awards under
BREs option plans vest over periods ranging from one to five years.

all outstanding option awards in each period.

The fair values for
options were estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003:

The effect of pro
forma application of SFAS 123 is not necessarily representative of the effect on consolidated net income for future periods.



The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair market value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and
are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the above stock option plans have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because, in managements opinion, changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value
of the above stock option plans.



Reclassifications



Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
years consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current years consolidated financial statements.



Reportable Segments



SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires certain descriptive information to be
provided about an enterprises reportable segments. BRE has determined that it has only one operating and reportable segment, multifamily communities, which comprised 99% of BREs consolidated assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
approximately 99% of its total consolidated revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2005.



54



---

Concentration Risk



All multifamily communities owned by the Company are located in the Western United States, in three general markets that it
defines as California, Pacific Northwest, and Mountain/Desert States. All revenues are from external customers and there are no revenues from transactions with other segments. There are no residents that contributed 10% or more of BREs total
revenues in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 or 2003.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment. This Statement addresses the accounting for share-based
payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the company, such as stock options, or (b) liabilities, such as those related to performance units, that are based on the fair
value of the companys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The Company adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2003 using the
prospective method described in SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.



SFAS No. 123-R, which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, eliminates the ability to account for
share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using prescribed fair-value-based methods. SFAS No. 123-R permits public companies to adopt its requirements
using one of two methods: (a) a modified prospective method in which compensation costs are recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123-R for all share-based payments granted after the
effective date and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123-R that remain unvested on the effective date or (b) a modified retrospective
method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits companies to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for all
periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption.



In March 2005, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides additional guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123-R for public
companies. Among other topics related to share-based payment, SAB No. 107 includes guidance on equity compensation valuation methods, income statement classification and presentation, capitalization of compensation costs, and income tax
accounting.



The Company has decided to adopt SFAS
No. 123-R using the modified prospective method. Because SFAS No. 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted SFAS
No. 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to award granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS No. 123 will be
recognized under SFAS No. 123(R). The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on its financial statements or results of operations.

4.    Equity Interests in and Advances to Real Estate Joint Ventures



As of December 31, 2005, BRE had two joint venture arrangements in which its capital interest is 35%; these joint
ventures are managed by the Company (the joint ventures). Such arrangements are accounted for using the equity method. Each of the joint ventures contains a single multifamily community that was developed by BRE and completed in 2001.
BREs investment in the joint ventures totals $10,088,000 and $10,227,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and is shown as Equity interests in and advances to real estate joint ventures-investments in rental
properties on BREs consolidated balance sheets. The communities had a total cost of approximately $43,753,000. The joint ventures carry secured, non-recourse loans totaling $18,767,000 that mature in 2011 and bear interest at rates of
7.25% and 8.0%.



In addition to the joint ventures discussed
above, the Company also had an investment in a real estate joint venture managed by a third-party (non-managed joint venture) which it sold during 2005 for a gain of approximately $4,575,000. During 2000 and 2001, BRE sold a total of 22 communities
in Tucson, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. The Company contributed a portion of the proceeds to a joint venture related to the buyer for a 15% equity interest in order to facilitate the sale of 85% of these assets. The Companys investment
in the non-managed joint venture consisted of a 15% equity interest in a portfolio of multifamily properties managed by a third-party (G&I III Residential Portfolio, LLC). The Companys investment approximated $5,279,000 at
December 31, 2004, and was included in other assets.



The
Companys income from unconsolidated equity investments in joint ventures totaled $5,075,000; $1,558,000 and $882,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Included in these totals are gains on sales totaling

During 2005 all
interest rate swaps expired and related debt of $31,009,000 matured. In 2004, BRE had entered into three fixed to floating interest rate swap agreements on secured debt with a notional amount totaling $31,009,000 at December 31, 2004. The
difference between the secured debt carrying values of $31,312,000 at December 31, 2004, and the notional amounts are due to basis adjustments from hedging activities of $303,000 in 2004.



During 2003, BRE established a Fannie Mae credit facility maturing in 2008
with borrowings of $100,000,000 and an option to increase the size to $250,000,000. During the first quarter of 2004, BRE increased the size of the facility from $100,000,000 to $140,000,000. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company decreased
the size of the facility from $140,000,000 to $75,000,000. In August 2005, BRE amended the credit facility to reduce the number of multifamily communities securing the line from nine to four and modified certain geographical diversification
requirements. These four multifamily communities are held by a consolidated subsidiary of BRE. Borrowings under the secured line of credit totaled $75,000,000 and $140,000,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Four multifamily
communities with a net carrying value of $142,959,000 secured the credit facility at December 31, 2005. Nine multifamily communities with a net carrying value of $237,534,000 secured the credit facility at December 31, 2004. The borrowing
cost, including interest, margin and fees, is currently 4.0%. Subject to the terms of the facility, the Company has the option to convert variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings.

9.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities



The Company enters into interest rate swaps with the objective of lowering its overall borrowing costs. During 2005, all interest rate swaps contracts expired as the related debt matured. At December 31, 2004,
the notional amount of the interest rate swaps utilized in the Companys fair value hedges was approximately $49,000,000. The principal amount of debt being hedged equaled the notional amounts of the interest rate swaps. The fair value hedges
converted debt with a weighted average fixed rate of 7.46% to a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus an average spread of 2.8%, which resulted in an effective rate of 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The fair value of the interest rate
swaps at December 31, 2004 was $503,000, and was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2004, offsetting amounts of $302,000 and $201,000 were recorded as an increase to mortgage loans payable and
unsecured senior notes, respectively. To determine the fair values of derivatives, BRE uses market valuations provided by third parties.



10.    Discontinued Operations



The results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are required to be classified as
discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include operating results, depreciation expense and interest expense as
well as the net gain on the disposal. At December 31, 2005, BRE had seven operating apartment communities classified as held for sale, which are expected to be sold to unrelated third parties within six months after December 31, 2005. The
estimated proceeds less anticipated costs to sell the assets held for sale at December 31, 2005 are greater than the carrying values as of December 31, 2005, and therefore no provisions for possible losses were recorded.



During the first six months of 2005, BRE sold three operating communities
with a total of 928 units. The communities were sold for a gross sales price of approximately $89,200,000, resulting in a gain on sales of $26,897,000. During the fourth quarter of 2004, BRE sold three operating communities with 878 units for gross
proceeds of approximately $98,600,000, resulting in a gain on sale of $19,925,000. During the first six months of 2003, BRE sold three operating communities with 1,100 units for gross proceeds of approximately $72,700,000, resulting in a gain on
sale of $23,147,000.

12.    Stock Option Plans



Employee Plans



The
1992 Stock Option Plan and the 1999 BRE Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the Plans) provide for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and other grants. The
maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plans is 5,850,000. The option price may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date that the option is granted and the options generally vest over three to five years.
Shareholders initially adopted the 1999 BRE Stock Incentive Plan in 1999 and approved the plan as amended in 2001. The 1999 BRE Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, allows for grants of up to 3,500,000 shares. Changes in options outstanding during the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 were as follows:

At December 31,
2005, the exercise price of shares under option ranged from $22.40 to $33.80, with a weighted average exercise price of $30.39. The exercise price of all options granted in the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 was equal to the market
price on the date of grant. Expiration dates range from 2006 through 2014; the weighted average remaining contractual life of these options is seven years. Stock options were exercised during 2005 on options originally granted with exercise prices
ranging from $22.40 to $33.80.



At December 31, 2005,
there were 429,583 restricted shares outstanding under the Plans. There were 379,158; 44,100 and 49,939 restricted shares granted in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of restricted shares awarded totaled $15,086,000; $1,431,000 and
$1,507,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During 2004, the Company adopted a new long-term incentive award program for executive officers, that established a five-year performance period. The program is heavily weighted on the achievement of
performance metrics, with 90% of the award cliff vesting at the end of the five year performance period. The remaining 10% of the grant vests 2% each year over the five-year period, subject to continuous employment with the Company. The shares
granted represent target performance, as defined in the agreements. If the performance metrics are not achieved, the shares will not vest. The Company does not expect further long-term grants to be made during the performance period. In addition,
the Company does not expect further grants of stock options to be made during the performance period. The number of shares awarded to executive officers under this plan in 2005 totaled 345,667. Also in 2005, 33,491 restricted shares were awarded to
certain key employees and vest ratably over periods ranging from 2 to 5 years.

employee elective deferrals, in 2005, 2004 and 2003, BRE contributed up to 3% of the employees compensation up to $6,000 per employee. The aggregate amounts contributed and recognized as expense by BRE were $473,000; $472,000 and $335,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



15.    Related Party Transactions



Certain executives of BRE have purchased stock, the consideration for which was interest-bearing recourse loans. Loans were issued from 2000 through July 2002, at which time the loan program was suspended. The loans are due five years from
the date of issuance and do not have forgiveness provisions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the carrying amount of the loans was $920,000 and $2,005,000, respectively. Interest income from the notes totaled $66,000; $90,000 and $163,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



BRE had notes receivable from third party minority interest members of limited liability company subsidiaries of the company totaling $7,571,000 and $7,601,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amounts are recorded in

16.    Retirement Charge



During fourth quarter 2004, the Company recognized a charge associated with the retirement of the Companys former CEO,
which totaled approximately $4,080,000 and is included in other expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The charge is comprised of approximately $2,050,000 in cash payments and $2,030,000 in noncash charges related to the fair value of
stock options and restricted shares that vested under the terms of the retirement agreement. The noncash portion of the expense includes the acceleration of unvested option awards that were previously accounted for under both FAS 123 and APB 25.



17.    Commitments and Contingencies



Commitments



During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, total
operating lease payments incurred for office space, including real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and utilities, aggregated $1,504,000; $1,179,000 and $1,283,000, respectively.



The minimum future basic aggregate rental commitment under the Companys operating leases is as follows:



|           |  |   |          
|---------- |  | - | ---------
|2006       |  | $ | 1,134,000
|2007       |  |   | 1,086,000
|2008       |  |   | 1,123,000
|2009       |  |   | 1,135,000
|2010       |  |   | 1,096,000
|Thereafter |  |   | 4,061,000
|           |  |   |          
|Total      |  | $ | 9,635,000
|           |  |   |          



Contingencies



As of December 31, 2005, there were no pending
legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject, the adverse determination of which the Company anticipates would have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial condition and results
of operations.



Red Hawk Ranch



On April 14, 1997, the Company purchased Red Hawk Ranch Apartments, a
453-unit operating community in Fremont, California, from an unrelated third party builder. The community now requires extensive replacement work to correct damage the Company believes was caused by construction defects. On March 18, 2003, BRE
filed suit in the Alameda County Superior Court against the builder and other parties to protect against statutes of limitation. The Company conducted testing to determine the extent of the damage. Based upon the testing that has been performed, the
Company has discovered that the exterior shell of each building at the community has been compromised. As a result, during second quarter 2004 the size and scope of the lawsuit was expanded.



Litigation and consulting charges recognized during 2005 and 2004 totaled
$2,670,000 and $2,727,000 respectively, and are reported as other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The charges reported include litigation costs and consulting fees incurred to date during destructive testing to determine the extent
of the damage and required reconstruction.



The Company
commenced reconstruction during the second quarter of 2005 and expects to have the community restored during the next 12 to 15 months. On January 27, 2006 the Company reached a settlement in connection with the Red Hawk Ranch apartment
community. Under terms of the settlement, the Company will receive an aggregate of $17,500,000 from various defendants and the assignment of certain agreements and claims associated with three subcontractors against whom the company intends to
continue litigation.

All settlement funds have been deposited to an escrow account. The settlement is contingent on a
determination by the court that it constitutes a good faith settlement under California law. The hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2006 and is subject to a thirty day appeal process. In accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for
Contingencies a gain contingency should be recognized in the period it is received and realized. If the contingency is removed, the amount realized will be recorded as other income during that period. Management expects that costs of
remediation will approximate up to $22,000,000, and future plaintiff litigation costs may exceed $1,000,000.



Under the provisions of FAS 144, BRE has performed an impairment analysis on Red Hawk Ranch Apartments using undiscounted cash flows, which reflect the
anticipated decreased net operating income during reconstruction. No impairment charge was deemed necessary based on this analysis. The net book value of the components of the buildings that are damaged and being replaced approximate $9,400,000 and
are being depreciated over the reconstruction period. Additional depreciation recognized during 2005 and 2004 totaled approximately $4,298,000 and $2,600,000 respectively. During reconstruction, costs that extend the useful life of the asset,
increase its value or enhance safety of the community will be capitalized. All other costs, including legal and consulting, will be expensed as incurred.



18.    Legal Settlements



Pinnacle at MacArthur Place



On June 29, 2000, BRE entered into an Agreement for Formation of Limited Liability Company and Contribution of Project with an unrelated third party.
The agreement contemplated that upon the completion of the Pinnacle at MacArthur Place apartment community and satisfaction of other conditions, BRE would contribute the project to a joint venture in which BRE and a third party would be members. The
closing deadline under the agreement was April 1, 2002. However, due to disagreements between BRE and the third party regarding their respective rights and obligations under the agreement, the closing did not occur.



On April 1, 2002, the third party brought litigation against BRE in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division. The lawsuit sought specific performance of the agreement or, in the alternative, damages. BRE filed a counterclaim for a declaration that it was not, in fact,
obligated to enter into the transaction under the terms demanded by the third party. In 2003, BRE and the third party reached a settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, BRE paid the third party $6,500,000 and retained ownership of
the asset.



Application Fee Suit



Also during 2003, BRE reached a settlement agreement regarding a class
action lawsuit that was brought against BRE with respect to application fees charged residents from August 1998 to August 2003. Under terms of the settlement, BRE agreed to establish a $200,000 fund to reimburse prior applicants up to $5.00 per
applicant, and to pay certain related administration charges and legal expenses.



The combined settlement amounts, legal fees and related expense for the 2003 suits aggregate $7,305,000 and are reported as other expenses on the consolidated statement of income.
