                      UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
                         1999 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

                                  SUMMARY OF
                            RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS




                    GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE PLAN

     United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc.'s Restricted Stock Award program is a
subplan of the United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the "Plan").  This summary is not complete, and you should refer to the full
text of the Plan for further information.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote
the success, and enhance the value, of the Company by linking the personal
interests of employees, officers and directors to those of the shareholders, and
by providing such employees, officers and directors with an incentive for
outstanding performance.

Administration

     The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Committee").  The Committee has the power,
authority and discretion to designate participants; determine the type or types
of awards to be granted to each participant and the number, terms and conditions
of any award; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may
deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; and make all other decisions
and determinations that may be required under, or as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to administer, the Plan.

Terms Generally Applicable to Discretionary Awards

     Limitations on Transfer; Beneficiaries.  No award will be assignable or
transferable by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, except in the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that the Committee may
(but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such
transferability (1) does not result in accelerated taxation, (2) does not cause
any option intended to be an incentive stock option to fail to qualify as such,
and (3) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors
deemed relevant, including without limitation, any state or federal tax or
securities laws or regulations applicable to transferable awards.  A participant
may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to
exercise the rights of the participant and to receive any distribution with
respect to any award upon the participant's death.



     Acceleration Upon Certain Events.  Upon the participant's death or
disability all outstanding awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised
will become fully exercisable and all restrictions on

outstanding awards will lapse. In the event of a Change in Control of the
Company (as defined in the Plan), all outstanding awards in the nature of rights
that may be exercised will become fully vested and all restrictions on all
outstanding awards will lapse; provided, however that such acceleration will not
occur if, in the opinion of the Company's accountants, such acceleration would
preclude the use of "pooling of interest" accounting treatment for a Change in
Control transaction that would otherwise qualify for such accounting treatment
and is contingent upon qualifying for such accounting treatment. Regardless of
whether an event described above shall have occurred, the Committee may in its
sole discretion declare all outstanding awards in the nature of rights that may
be exercised to become fully vested, and/or all restrictions on all outstanding
awards to lapse, in each case as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among participants or among
awards in exercising such discretion.

Termination and Amendment

     The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time,
terminate, amend or modify the Plan without shareholder approval; provided,
however, that the Committee may condition any amendment on the approval of
shareholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable
with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or
regulations.  No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may
adversely affect any award previously granted under the Plan, without the
written consent of the participant.  The Committee may amend any outstanding
award without approval of the participant; provided that no such amendment may
diminish the value of such award determined as if it has been exercised, vested,
cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment, and the exercise
price of any option may not be reduced.

Other Information

     The Plan is not subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan also is not subject to or qualified
under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.  No one has or may create a lien
on any funds, securities or other property held under the Plan.
