DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.General Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) without audit (except for the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Partnership was formed on October 4, 1993, when Duke Realty Corporation (the “General Partner”) contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities, along with the net proceeds from the issuance of additional shares of the General Partner through an offering, to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest. The General Partner was formed in 1985 and qualifies as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning 91.4% of the common partnership interests as of June 30, 2005 (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 8.6% of the Partnership’s common interest is owned by limited partners (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”). The Limited Partner Units are exchangeable for shares of the General Partner’s common stock on a one-for-one basis subject generally to a one-year holding period or, under certain circumstances, the General Partner may repurchase the Limited Partnership Units for cash. The General Partner also owns preferred partnership interests in the Partnership (“Preferred Units”).

We own and operate a portfolio of industrial, office and retail properties in the midwestern and southeastern United States and provide real estate services to third-party owners. We conduct our service operations through Duke Realty Services LLC (“DRS”), Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership (“DRSLP”) and Duke Construction Limited Partnership (“DCLP”).

2.Indebtedness

We have one unsecured line of credit available at June 30, 2005, described as follows (in thousands):

	Borrowing		Maturity	Interest	Outstanding
Description	Capacity		Date	Rate	at June 30, 2005
Unsecured Line of Credit	$	500,000	January 2007	LIBOR + .60%	$	120,000

The line of credit is used to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital.

The line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line, at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2005, range from LIBOR + .17 to .60 (3.31% to 3.82% at June 30, 2005).

6

The line of credit also contains financial covenants that require us to meet defined levels of performance.  As of June 30, 2005, we are in compliance with all covenants and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.

We took the following actions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 relevant to our indebtedness:

•In January 2005, we retired our $65.0 million variable rate term loan.

•In March 2005, we retired $100.0 million of 6.94% senior unsecured debt that matured.

•In May 2005, we entered into a $400 million term loan priced at LIBOR + .30% and scheduled to mature in October 2005. Subject to lender’s approval, the loan’s maturity date may be extended by one month to November 2005.

3.Related Party Transactions

We provide property management, leasing, construction and other tenant related services to unconsolidated companies in which we have equity interests. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, we received management fees of $2.4 million and $2.4 million, leasing fees of $2.2 million and $1.4 million and construction and development fees of $1.1 million and $673,000 from these unconsolidated companies. These fees were recorded at market rates and we eliminated our ownership percentage of these fees in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

4.Net Income Per Common Unit

Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income available for common units by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common unit is computed by dividing the sum of net income available for common unitholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common units outstanding, including any dilutive potential common units for the period.

The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income per common unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
Basic and diluted net income available for common units	$	44,269	$	39,008	$	72,430	$	75,230
Weighted average number of common units outstanding	156,986		156,045		156,967		154,244
Weighted average conversion of Series D preferred units (1)	—		—		—		1,755
Dilutive shares for stock-based compensation plans	710		783		744		872
Weighted average number of common units and dilutive potential common units	157,696		156,828		157,711		156,871

(1)The General Partner called for the redemption of the Series D preferred units as of March 16, 2004. Prior to the redemption date, nearly 5.3 million Series D preferred units were converted into 4.9 million common units.  These units represent the weighted effect, assuming the Series D preferred units had been converted on January 1, 2004.

5.Segment Reporting

We are engaged in four operating segments, the first three of which consist of the ownership and rental of office, industrial and retail real estate investments (collectively, “Rental Operations”). The fourth segment consists of our build-to-suit for sale operations and the providing of various real estate services such as property management, maintenance, leasing, development and construction management to third-party property owners and joint ventures (“Service Operations”). Our reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies and management expertise. There are no material intersegment sales or transfers.

Non-segment revenue consists mainly of equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies. Segment FFO information is calculated by subtracting operating expenses attributable to the applicable segment from segment revenues. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred financing costs and investments in unconsolidated companies. Interest expense and other non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining our performance measure.

We assess and measure segment operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. Funds From Operations is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”). FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The revenues and FFO for each of the reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, and the assets for each of the reportable segments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

6.Real Estate Investments

We have classified the operations of 58 buildings as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2005. These 58 buildings consist of 45 industrial, ten office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations of $560,000 and $555,000 as net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and $1.2 million and $1.6 million as net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Twelve of the properties classified in discontinued operations were sold during the first six months of 2005 and six properties were sold during the first six months of 2004. The gains net of impairment adjustments on the disposal of these properties, were $5.1 million and $695,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and $8.8 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 40 properties consist of 35 properties sold during the last six months of 2004 and five classified as held-for-sale at June 30, 2005.

At June 30, 2005, we had two industrial properties and three office properties which comprised approximately 595,000 square feet classified as held-for-sale. These properties have signed contracts, but there can be no assurance that such properties will be sold.

The following table illustrates the operations of the 58 buildings reflected in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

We allocate interest expense to discontinued operations as permitted under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and have included such interest expense in computing net income from discontinued operations. Interest expense allocable to discontinued operations includes interest on any debt on secured properties included in discontinued operations and an allocable share of our consolidated unsecured interest expense for unencumbered properties. The allocation of unsecured interest expense to discontinued operations was based upon the gross book value of the discontinued operations unencumbered population as it related to our entire unencumbered population.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded impairment adjustments of $3.6 million and $100,000, respectively. The $3.6 million of impairment reflects the write-down of the carrying value of one held-for-sale industrial building, three office and two industrial buildings sold in the second quarter of 2005, one land parcel sold in the second quarter of 2005 and one land parcel contracted to sell in 2005. The $100,000  impairment reflects the write-down of the carrying value of a land parcel that was later sold in 2004.

7.Partners’ Equity

The General Partner periodically accesses the public equity markets to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties or to pay down debt. The proceeds of these offerings are contributed to us in exchange for an additional interest in the Partnership.

The following series of preferred units are outstanding as of June 30, 2005 (in thousands, except percentage data):

	Units	Dividend		Redemption	Liquidation
Description	Outstanding	Rate		Date	Preference		Convertible
Series B Preferred	265	7.990	%	September 30, 2007	$	132,250	No
Series I Preferred	300	8.450	%	February 6, 2006	75,000		No
Series J Preferred	400	6.625	%	August 29, 2008	100,000		No
Series K Preferred	600	6.500	%	February 13, 2009	150,000		No
Series L Preferred	800	6.600	%	November 30, 2009	200,000		No

The dividend rate on the Series B preferred units increases to 9.99% after September 12, 2012.

All series of preferred units require cumulative distributions and have no stated maturity date (although we may redeem them on or following their optional redemption dates).

The Series B, Series I, Series J, Series K and Series L preferred units may be redeemed on or after the dates noted above only at our option, in whole or in part.

8.Reclassifications

Certain 2004 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

9.Financial Instruments

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. In order to manage the volatility relating to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We account for derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended (“SFAS 133”).

11

In March 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2006. The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 with any changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Due to the decline in interest rates, the fair value at June 30, 2005, is a liability of $19.0 million.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003. We consolidate the operations of one joint venture in our condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2005. This joint venture is partially owned by unaffiliated parties that have noncontrolling interests. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2005, the estimated settlement value of the noncontrolling interest in this consolidated joint venture was approximately $1.1 million as compared to the receivable asset recorded on our books for this joint venture of $75,000.

10.Stock Based Compensation

Under the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership, the Partnership is required to issue one Common Unit to the General Partner for each share of common stock issued by the General Partner.  Accordingly, the issuance of common shares by the General Partner under its stock based compensation plans require the issuance of a corresponding number of Common Units by the Partnership to the General Partner.

For all issuances prior to 2002, we apply the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation. Effective January 1, 2002, we prospectively adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), to all awards granted after January 1, 2002.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per unit if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands, except per unit data).

In April 2005, the General Partner’s shareholders approved the Duke Realty Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Duke Realty Corporation Shareholder Value Plan and the Duke Realty Corporation Non-Employee Directors Co mpensation Plan. Under these plans, the General Partner granted the following awards to directors, executive officers and selected management employees:

•Stock Options.  Stock Options vest 20% per year over five years.  The exercise price of the stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the General Partner’s common stock on the date of grant.

•Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”).  RSUs vest 20% per year over five years and are payable in the General Partner stock.  All RSUs earn dividend equivalents that are deemed to be reinvested in additional RSUs. Dividend equivalents will be paid in General Partner stock when the corresponding portion of the original RSU awards vests or is paid.

•Shareholder Value Plan Awards.  Shareholder Value Plan awards vest entirely three years after the date of grant. The number of General Partner shares issued is based upon the General Partners’ total shareholder return for such three-year period compared to the S&P 500 Index and the NAREIT Real Estate 50 Index.  Each index is weighted at 50%.  Upon vesting, payout of the shareholder value plan award will be made in General Partner stock.

We adopted SFAS 123 in January 2002. The value of each award was calculated on the date of grant with compensation expense recognized over the applicable vesting period.

Also in April 2005, the General Partner’s shareholders approved amendments to the following plans:

•1995 Key Employees’ Stock Option, the 1999 Salary Replacement Stock Option and Dividend Increase Unit and the 1999 Directors’ Stock Option and Dividend Increase Unit Plans to permit adjustment to existing stock options in the event of an extraordinary cash dividend.

•1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan to clarify the form and method of income tax withholdings.

11.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date on SFAS No. 123 (R) from July 2005 to January 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (EITF 04-5). EITF 04-5 is effective for all newly formed limited partnerships after the consensus was ratified and January 2006 for all existing limited partnership agreements. We have evaluated the ownership structure of our existing investments in unconsolidated companies and determined that we do not demonstrate control over those ventures as defined by EITF 04-5.

Other Events

In January 2000, the General Partner adopted a share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock. In October 2001, the General Partner increased the maximum expenditure authority under the repurchase program from $100 million to $250 million. On July 27, 2005, the General Partner increased the maximum expenditure authority under the repurchase program from $250 million to $750 million.

Under the repurchase program, we may effect share repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion. The timing and amount of share repurchases, if any, will depend on business and market conditions, as well as legal and regulatory considerations. We can give no assurances as to when and whether the General Partner will repurchase any shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Partners

Duke Realty Limited Partnership:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the related condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statement of partners’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this quarterly report, including those related to our future operations, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this report. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may affect future results include, among others:

•Changes in general economic and business conditions, including performance of financial markets;

•Our continued qualification as a real estate investment trust;

•Heightened competition for tenants and potential decreases in property occupancy;

•Potential increases in real estate construction costs;

•Potential changes in the financial markets and interest rates;

•Continuing ability to favorably raise debt and equity in the capital markets;

•Inherent risks in the real estate business including tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters and liquidity of real estate investments; and

•Other risks and uncertainties described from time-to-time in our filings with the SEC.

This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is not intended to be exhaustive. We have on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 24, 2003, with additional risk factor information.

The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the plans, expectations and results expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict the nature or assess the potential impact of each new factor on our business. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that arise after the statement is made.

Business Overview

As of June 30, 2005, we:

•Owned or controlled 891 industrial, office and retail properties (including properties under development), consisting of approximately 113.8 million square feet located in 13 operating platforms; and

•Owned or controlled approximately 4,400 acres of land with an estimated future development potential of approximately 65 million square feet of industrial, office and retail properties.

16

We provide the following services for our properties and for certain properties owned by third parties and joint ventures:

•Property leasing;

•Property management;

•Construction;

•Development; and

•Other tenant-related services.

Key Performance Indicators

Our operating results depend primarily upon rental income from our office, industrial and retail properties (“Rental Operations”). The following highlights the areas of Rental Operations that we consider critical for future revenue growth (all square footage totals and occupancy percentages reflect both wholly-owned properties and properties in joint ventures):

Occupancy Analysis: Our ability to maintain occupancy rates is a principal driver of our results of operations. The following table sets forth occupancy information regarding our in-service portfolio of rental properties as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands, except percentage data):

	Total		Percent of
	Square Feet		Total Square Feet				Percent Occupied

Total	111,031	108,345	100.0	%	100.0	%	90.7	%	89.7	%

Lease Expiration and Renewal: Our ability to maintain and grow occupancy rates primarily depends upon our continuing ability to re-lease expiring space.The following table reflects our in-service portfolio lease expiration schedule as of June 30, 2005, by property type. The table indicates square footage and annualized net effective rents (based on June 2005 rental revenue) under expiring leases (in thousands, except percentage data):

Lease Renewals: We renewed 70.0% and 71.9% of leases up for renewal in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, totaling 3.1 million and 4.9 million square feet, respectively. This compares to renewals of 71.5% and 72.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, totaling 2.1 million and 5.1 million square feet. Our lease renewal percentages over the past three years have remained relatively consistent at a 70-75% success rate despite the relatively weak market conditions.

The average term of renewals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, was 4.3 and 4.0 years compared to an average term of 3.4 and 4.0 years for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Future Development:  Another source of growth in earnings is the development of additional merchant buildings and rental properties.  These properties should provide future earnings growth through Service Operations income upon sale or from Rental Operations growth as they are placed in service. As of June 30, 2005, we had 3.6 million square feet of property under development with total costs of $351.0 million, which were 47% pre-leased. This compares to 3.8 million square feet with total estimated costs of $143.0 million, which were 59% pre-leased at June 30, 2004. Of the $208.0 million increase in project costs over 2004, $101.0 million is attributable to increased held-for-rental developments. The remaining $107.0 million of the increase is in merchant building developments and is due to medical building development. Specifically, we have four medical office projects under development through our joint venture with a healthcare facility developer and manager with total costs of $55.8 million, and we began construction on a single office building with total costs of $85.4 million.

A summary of properties under development as of June 30, 2005, follows (in thousands, except percentage data):

Anticipated						Anticipated
In-Service	Square	Percent		Project		Stabilized

Acquisition and Disposition Activity: We continue to actively pursue disposition and acquisition opportunities in an effort to create long-term value in our real estate portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we received proceeds of over $136 million on the disposition of over 2 million square feet of properties. The sales were comprised of held-for-rental assets that we believe no longer meet our long-term growth objectives and held-for-sale properties that were developed with the intent to sell upon completion. This disposition activity for 2005 compares to dispositions of approximately $40 million during the first six months of 2004. The favorable market pricing of real estate continues to allow us to market and pursue disposition opportunities.

On the acquisition front, our strategy is to pursue acquisitions with value added opportunities. During the first six months of 2005, we closed on over $280 million of acquisitions, including a $257 million, five building office portfolio in Chicago. This compares to acquisitions of over $48 million for the same period in 2004.

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”). FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.

The following table summarizes the calculation of FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

Rental Income From Continuing Operations

Overall, rental income from continuing operations increased from $178.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $189.5 million for the same period in 2005. The following table reconciles rental income from continuing operations by reportable segment to our total reported rental income from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

	2005		2004
Office	$	116,933	110,816
Industrial	70,077		65,463
Retail	954		1,031
Non-segment	1,518		1,193
Total	$	189,482	$	178,503

Our three reportable segments comprising Rental Operations (office, industrial and retail) are within the real estate industry; however, the same economic and industry conditions do not necessarily affect each segment. The primary causes of the increase in rental income from continuing operations, with specific references to a particular segment when applicable, are summarized below:

•We acquired 21 properties and placed 19 developments in service from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005. These acquisitions and developments are the primary factor in the overall $11.0 million increase in rental revenue for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. These acquisitions and developments provided revenues of $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2005, including $8.3 million from office acquisitions primarily in our Chicago, Atlanta and Cincinnati markets.

•Lease termination fees totaled $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2004.

•Our in-service occupancy increased from 89.7% at June 30, 2004 to 90.7% at June 30, 2005.

20

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Companies

Equity in earnings increased from $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2004 to $15.7 million for the same period in 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, one of our 50% owned joint ventures sold three buildings with our share of the gain totaling $11.2 million.

Rental Expenses and Real Estate Taxes

The following table reconciles rental expenses and real estate taxes by reportable segment to our total reported amounts in the statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	2005		2004
Rental Expenses:
Office	$	32,183	$	27,089
Industrial	9,662		8,574
Retail	146		105
Non-segment	286		145
Total	$	42,277	$	35,913
Real Estate Taxes:
Office	$	13,197	$	12,076
Industrial	8,668		7,841
Retail	75		126
Non-segment	1,181		1,012
Total	$	23,121	$	21,055

The overall increase in rental expenses and real estate taxes is the result of our increased real estate assets associated with the acquisitions and developments as noted above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $35.9 million in the second the quarter of 2005 due to a net increase in unsecured long-term debt and higher interest rates on our line of credit. Our unsecured long-term debt increased by a net $585 million since June 30, 2004, which included the $400 million term loan obtained on May 31, 2005. This increase resulted in $2.5 million of interest expense. The average borrowings on our line of credit decreased slightly compared to the same period last year; however, the near 100% increase in the LIBOR rate added nearly $800,000 of interest expense during the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $50.3 million for the second quarter of 2004 to $63.8 million for the same period in 2005. The following highlights the significant changes in depreciation and amortization expense.

•Building depreciation expense increased $5.3 million due to increases in our held-for-rental asset base from acquisitions and developments during 2004 and 2005.

•Depreciation on tenant improvements increased by $2.6 million and lease commission amortization increased by $3.6 million due to increased leasing activity and the effect of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) on acquisitions. SFAS 141 requires the allocation of a portion of a property’s purchase price to existing tenant improvements and intangible assets for leases acquired and in-place at the time of acquisition. We amortize these assets over the remaining life of the leases.

21

Service Operations

Service Operations primarily consist of our merchant building sales and the leasing, management, construction and development services for joint venture properties and properties owned by third parties. These operations are heavily influenced by the current state of the economy as leasing and management fees are dependent upon occupancy while construction and development services rely on businesses expanding operations. Service Operations earnings increased from $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $12.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the following:

•Our merchant building development and sales program, whereby a building is developed and then sold, is a significant component of Construction and Development income. During the second quarter of 2005, we sold two such properties for a gain of $7.9 million compared to one property in the second quarter of 2004 for a gain of $2.7 million.

•Excluding the gains above, earnings from Service Operations increased from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $4.4 million in the same period of 2005. We have experienced construction volume and fee increases through work performed as a general contractor for third parties as economic conditions improve and financing of construction remains attractive.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses increased from $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $6.3 million, compared to the same period in 2005. General and administrative expenses are comprised of two components. The first is direct expenses that are not attributable to specific assets such as legal fees, external audit fees, marketing costs, investor relations expenses and other corporate overhead. The second component is the unallocated overhead costs associated with the operation of our owned properties and Service Operations, including construction, leasing and maintenance operations. Those overhead costs not allocated to operations are charged to general and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the period is the result of an overall increase in our overhead costs. As our construction volume increases, the need for additional employees creates more overhead for the Service Operations group. Additionally, our National Development and Construction group has continued to expand as opportunities arise throughout our core markets and new markets. While a portion of the increased overhead has been offset by increased construction and leasing activity, the overall effect has been an increase to general and administrative expenses.

Other Income and Expenses

Earnings from sale of land and ownership interests in consolidated companies, net of impairment adjustments, are comprised of the following amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	2005			2004
Gain on land sales	$	3,309		$	1,054
Gain on sale of ownership interests in unconsolidated companies	—			50
Impairment adjustment for land	(43		)	—
Total	$	3,266		$	1,104

Gain on land sales is derived from sales of undeveloped land owned by us. In the second quarter of 2005, we sold ten parcels of land versus eight parcels in the second quarter of 2004.

22

We pursue opportunities to dispose of land in markets with a high concentration of undeveloped land and those markets where the land no longer meets our strategic development plans.

We recorded a $43,000 impairment charge in the second quarter of 2005 associated with the contracted sale of land parcels. One of the two land parcels making up the $43,000 impairment was sold in the second quarter of 2005 and the other is scheduled to be sold later in 2005.

Discontinued Operations

We have classified the operations of 58 buildings as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2005. These 58 buildings consist of 45 industrial, ten office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations of $560,000 and $555,000 as net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Ten of the properties classified in discontinued operations were sold during the second quarter of 2005 and two properties were sold during the second quarter of 2004. The gains on disposal of these properties, net of impairment adjustment of $5.1 million and $695,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 46 properties consist of 39 properties sold in 2004, two properties sold in the first quarter of 2005 and five depreciable properties classified as held-for-sale at June 30, 2005.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Rental Income From Continuing Operations

Overall, rental income from continuing operations increased from $358.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $378.7 million for the same period in 2005. The following table reconciles rental income from continuing operations by reportable segment to our total reported rental income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	2005		2004
Office	$	235,058	$	221,487
Industrial	139,010		132,312
Retail	1,996		2,191
Non-segment	2,634		2,351
Total	$	378,698	$	358,341

Our three reportable segments comprising Rental Operations (office, industrial and retail) are within the real estate industry; however, the same economic and industry conditions do not necessarily affect each segment. The primary causes of the increase in rental income from continuing operations, with specific references to a particular segment when applicable, are summarized below:

•We acquired 21 properties and placed 19 developments in service from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005. These acquisitions and developments are the primary factor in the overall $20.4 million increase in rental revenue for the first six months in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, as they provided revenues of $19.3 million in the first six months of 2005, including $13.7 million from office acquisitions primarily in our Chicago, Atlanta and Cincinnati markets.

23

•Lease termination fees totaled $2.9 million for the first six months of 2005 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2004.

•Our in-service occupancy increased from 89.7% at June 30, 2004 to 90.7% at June 30, 2005.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Companies

Equity in earnings increased from $10.3 million for the first half of 2004 to $20.9 million for the same period in 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, one of our 50% owned joint ventures sold three buildings with our share of the gain totaling $11.2 million.

Rental Expenses and Real Estate Taxes

The following table reconciles rental expenses and real estate taxes by reportable segment to our total reported amounts in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	2005		2004
Rental Expenses:
Office	$	64,573	$	55,284
Industrial	20,851		18,663
Retail	301		257
Non-segment	387		325
Total	$	86,112	$	74,529
Real Estate Taxes:

Retail	159		218
Non-segment	2,251		2,096
Total	$	45,705	$	41,811

The overall increase in rental expenses and real estate taxes is the result of our increased real estate assets associated with the acquisitions and developments as noted above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $64.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $70.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to a net increase in unsecured long-term debt and higher interest rates on our line of credit. Our unsecured long-term debt increased by a net $585 million since June 30, 2004, which included the $400 million term loan obtained on May 31, 2005.  This increase resulted in $5.2 million of interest expense. The average borrowings on our line of credit decreased compared to same period last year; however, the increase in the LIBOR rate added nearly $500,000 of interest expense in 2005 over 2004.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $100.6 million for the first half of 2004 to $126.1 million for the same period in 2005. The following highlights the significant changes in depreciation and amortization expense.

•Building depreciation expense increased $9.4 million due to increases in our held-for-rental asset base from 2005 and 2004 acquisitions and developments.

24

•Depreciation on tenant improvements increased by $7.0 million and lease commission amortization increased by $5.9 million due to increased leasing activity and the effect of SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) on acquisitions. SFAS 141 requires the allocation of a portion of a property’s purchase price to existing tenant improvements and intangible assets for leases acquired and in-place at the time of acquisition. We amortize these assets over the remaining life of the leases. 

Service Operations

Service Operations primarily consist of our merchant building sales and the leasing, management, construction and development services for joint venture properties and properties owned by third parties. These operations are heavily influenced by the current state of the economy as leasing and management fees are dependent upon occupancy while construction and development services rely on businesses expanding operations. Service Operations earnings increased from $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the following:

•Our merchant building development and sales program, whereby a building is developed and then sold, is a significant component of Construction and Development income. During the first half of 2005, we sold four such properties for a gain of $12.4 million compared to two properties in the first half of 2004 for a gain of $3.1 million.

•Excluding the gains above, earnings from Service Operations increased from $3.7 million in first half of 2004 to $10.8 million in the same period of 2005. We have experienced construction volume and fee increases through work performed as a general contractor for third parties as economic conditions improve and financing of construction remains attractive.

•During the first quarter of 2005, we recognized $2.7 million of deferred gain associated with the sale of our landscaping operations in 2001. The gain was deferred as a result of future performance provisions contained in the original sale agreement. As a result of contract renegotiations effective in the first quarter of 2005, all future performance provisions were removed and the gain was recognized.

Other Income and Expenses

Earnings from sale of land and ownership interests in consolidated companies, net of impairment adjustments, are comprised of the following amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

	2005			2004
Gain on land sales	$	3,486		$	5,783
Gain on sale of ownership interests in unconsolidated companies	—			50
Impairment adjustment land	(77		)	(100		)
Total	$	3,409		$	5,733

Gain on land sales is derived from sales of undeveloped land owned by us. We pursue opportunities to dispose of land in markets with a high concentration of undeveloped land and those markets where the land no longer meets our strategic development plans.

We recorded  $77,000 and $100,000 of impairment charges on land parcels for the six months ended June 20, 2005 and 2004, respectively. One of the two land parcels making up the $77,000 impairment was sold in the second quarter of 2005 and the other parcel is contracted to sell later in 2005. The 2004 parcel with the $100,000 impairment was later sold in 2004.

25

Discontinued Operations

We have classified the operations of 58 buildings as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2005. These 58 buildings consist of 45 industrial, ten office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations of $1.2 million and $1.6 million as net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Twelve of the properties classified in discontinued operations were sold during the first six months of 2005 and six properties were sold during the first six months of 2004. The gains on disposal of these properties, net of impairment adjustment of $8.8 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 40 properties consist of 35 properties sold during the last six months of 2004 and five depreciable properties classified as held-for-sale at June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements over the next twelve months, including payments of dividends and distributions as well as recurring capital expenditures relating to maintaining our current real estate assets, primarily through the following:

•working capital; and

•net cash provided by operating activities.

Although we historically have not used any other sources of funds to pay for recurring capital expenditures on our current real estate investments, the use of borrowings or property disposition proceeds may be temporarily needed to fund such expenditures during periods of high leasing volume.

We expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage debt maturities, refinancing of long-term debt, preferred share redemptions, the retirement of unsecured notes and amounts outstanding under the unsecured credit facility, property acquisitions, financing of development activities and other non-recurring capital improvements, primarily through the following sources:

•issuance of additional unsecured notes;

•issuance of additional General Partner preferred equity;

•undistributed cash provided by operating activities, if any; and

•proceeds received from real estate dispositions. 

Rental Operations

We believe that our principal source of liquidity, cash flows from Rental Operations, provides a stable source of cash to fund operational expenses. We believe that this cash-based revenue stream is substantially aligned with revenue recognition (except for periodic straight-line rental income accruals and amortization of above or below market rents) as cash receipts from the leasing of rental properties are generally received in advance of or in a short time following the actual revenue recognition. We are subject to risks of decreased occupancy through market conditions as well as tenant defaults and bankruptcies, and potential reduction in rental rates upon renewal or re-letting of properties, which would result in reduced cash flow from operations. However, we believe that these risks are mitigated by our strong market presence in most of our locations and the fact that we perform in-house credit review and analysis on major tenants and all significant leases before they are executed.

26

Credit Facilities

We have one unsecured line of credit available at June 30, 2005, described as follows (in thousands):

	Borrowing		Maturity	Interest	Outstanding Balance
Description	Capacity		Date	Rate	at June 30, 2005
Unsecured Line of Credit	$	500,000	January 2007	LIBOR + .60%	$	120,000

The line of credit is used to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital.

The line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line, at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2005, range from LIBOR + .17% to .60% (3.31% to 3.82% at June 30, 2005).

The line of credit also contains financial covenants that require us to meet defined levels of performance.  As of June 30, 2005, we are in compliance with all covenants and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.

Debt and Equity Securities

At June 30, 2005, we have on file with the SEC an effective shelf registration statement that permits us to sell up to an additional $795 million of unsecured debt securities.  In addition, the General Partner has on file with the SEC an effective shelf registration statement that permits the General Partner to sell up to an additional $350.7 million of common and preferred stock as of June 30, 2005. From time-to-time, we expect to issue additional securities under these registration statements to fund development and acquisition of additional rental properties and to fund the repayment of the credit facilities and other long-term debt upon maturity.

The indenture governing our unsecured notes also requires us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. We are currently in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2005 and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.

Sale of Real Estate Assets

We utilize sales of real estate assets as an additional source of liquidity. We pursue opportunities to sell real estate assets and prune our older portfolio properties when beneficial to our long-term strategy.

Uses of Liquidity

Our principal uses of liquidity include the following:

•Property investments;

•Recurring leasing/capital costs;

•Distributions to unitholders;

•Long-term debt maturities; and

•Other contractual obligations.

Property Investment

We evaluate development and acquisition opportunities based upon market outlook, supply and long-term growth potential.

27

Recurring Expenditures

One of our principal uses of our liquidity is to fund the development, acquisition and recurring leasing/capital expenditures of our real estate investments.

A summary of our recurring capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is as follows (in thousands):

	2005		2004
Tenant improvements	$	29,948	$	28,485

Historical Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were $6.5 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The following highlights significant changes in net cash, associated with our operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	195.5		$	165.2
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities	$	(372.0	)	$	(249.0	)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	$	177.2		$	81.9

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities provide the cash necessary to meet normal operational requirements of our rental operations and merchant building activities. The receipt of rental income from rental operations continues to provide the primary source of our revenues and operating cash flows. In addition, we also develop buildings with the intent to sell, which provides another significant source of operating cash flow activity.

•During the period ended June 30, 2005, we incurred merchant building development costs of $37.9 million compared to $17.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2004. The difference is reflective of the increased activity in our held-for-sale pipeline. The pipeline of held-for-sale projects under construction as of June 30, 2005, has anticipated costs of $161.2 million. In addition to the development costs noted above, we also acquired a building for $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2005 on which we made minor improvements and sold in June 2005 for $20.0 million.

•We sold four merchant buildings in the first six months of 2005 compared to two sales of merchant buildings for the same period in 2004, recognizing after tax gains of $12.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Investing Activities

Investing activities are one of the primary uses of our liquidity. Development and acquisition activities typically generate additional rental revenues and provide cash flows for operational requirements. Highlights of significant cash uses are as follows:

•Development costs totaled $68.2 million for the period June 30, 2005 compared to $63.5 million for the same period in 2004.

•During the first six months of 2005, we acquired $262.7 million of real estate compared to $45.6 million for the same period in 2004. The largest of these acquisitions was a five building office complex in our Chicago market for $257.0 million.

•Sales of land and depreciated property provided $70.6 million in net proceeds for the period ended June 30, 2005, compared to $37.2 million for the same period in 2004. We continue to dispose of non-strategic and older properties as part of our capital recycling program to fund acquisitions and new development while improving the overall quality of our investment portfolio.

Financing Activities

The following significant items highlight fluctuations in net cash provided by financing activities:

•In January 2005, we retired a $65.0 million variable rate term loan.

•In March 2005, we retired $100.0 million of 6.94% senior unsecured debt that matured in March 2005.

•Through June 30, 2005, we have had net borrowings on our $500.0 million line of credit of $120.0 million. These borrowings were used to retire the above-mentioned debt and to support operations.

•In May 2005, we obtained a $400.0 million term loan. The proceeds from this term loan were used as financing for the office acquisition noted above and to pay down our unsecured debt.

Financial Instruments

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. In order to manage the volatility relating to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We account for derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended (“SFAS 133”).

29

In March 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2006. The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 with any changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Due to the decline in interest rates, the fair value at June 30, 2005, is a liability of $19.0 million.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003. We consolidate the operations of one joint venture in our condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2005. This joint venture is partially owned by unaffiliated parties that have non-controlling interests. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2005, the estimated settlement value of the non-controlling interest in this consolidated joint venture was approximately $1.1 million as compared to the receivable asset recorded on our books for this joint venture of $75,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date on SFAS No. 123 (R) from July 2005 to January 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF” No. 04-5). EITF 04-5 is effective for all newly formed limited partnerships after the consensus was ratified and January 2006 for all existing limited partnership agreements. We have evaluated the ownership structure of our existing investments in unconsolidated companies and determined that we do not demonstrate control over the venture as defined by
 EITF 04-5.

Investments in Unconsolidated Companies

We analyze our investments in joint ventures under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46(R)), to determine if the joint venture is a variable interest entity and would require consolidation. To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as variable interest entities, we further assess under the guidelines of SOP 78-9, ARB 51 and FASB 94 to determine if the venture should be consolidated.

In 2004, we announced a 50/50 joint venture agreement with a medical office developer to develop healthcare facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide the project financing and construction services while our partner will provide the business development, leasing and property management of the co-developed properties. We evaluated this partnership under the guidelines of FIN 46(R) and determined that the venture meets condition 5(a) due to the fact that the venture is not sufficiently capitalized and we have no recourse to the assets of our partner beyond the developed property.

30

As a result, the joint venture qualifies as a variable interest entity subject to consolidation under FIN 46(R). We are the primary beneficiary as determined under FIN 46(R) and fully consolidate the joint venture.

At June 30, 2005, there were four properties under development with the joint venture. These properties total 297,495 square feet and have an aggregate construction in-process balance of over $6.5 million that is consolidated into our balance sheet. The joint venture intends to sell the properties upon completion.

We have equity interests in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures that own and operate rental properties and hold land for development. The equity method of accounting is used for these investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. As a result, the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures are not included on our balance sheet. Our investment in unconsolidated companies represents less than 5% of our total assets as of June 30, 2005. These investments provide several benefits to us, including increased market share and an additional source of capital to fund real estate projects.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. For a discussion of the market risk with respect to our outstanding cash flow hedges, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financial Instruments.”

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are further designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are parties to a variety of legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our businesses. While these matters generally are covered by insurance, there is no assurance that our insurance will cover any particular proceeding or claim. We presently believe that all of these proceedings to which we were subject as of June 30, 2005, taken as a whole, will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, business financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In January 2000, the General Partner adopted a share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the General Partner to repurchase up to $100 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock.  In October 2001, the General Partner increased the maximum expenditure authority under the Repurchase Program from $100 million to $250 million and on July 27, 2005 the amount was increased from $250 million to $750 million, as discussed in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under the Repurchase Program, the General Partner may effect share repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion.  The General Partner also effects share repurchases on an ongoing basis associated with certain employee elections under the General Partner’s compensation and benefit programs.

The following table shows the General Partner’s share repurchase activity for each of the three months in the quarter ended June 30, 2005:
