Item 5.  Other Events.

            On July 8, 2003, a single series of mortgage pass-through
certificates, entitled Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-C5 (the "Certificates"), was
issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the "Pooling Agreement")
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and dated as of July 1, 2003, among Wachovia
Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as depositor (the "Registrant"), Wachovia
Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Lennar Partners, Inc., as
special servicer and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as trustee. The
Certificates consist of twenty-two classes (each, a "Class") of Certificates,
four of which Classes are designated as the "Class A-1 Certificates", the "Class
A-2 Certificates", the "Class B Certificates" and the "Class C Certificates"
(collectively, the "Offered Certificates"); and eighteen of which Classes are
designated as the "Class A-1A Certificates", the "Class D Certificates", the
`Class E Certificates", the "Class F Certificates", the "Class G Certificates",
the "Class H Certificates", the "Class J Certificates", the "Class K
Certificates", the "Class L Certificates", the "Class M Certificates", the
"Class N Certificates", the " Class O Certificates", the "Class P Certificates",
the "Class X-C Certificates", the "Class X-P Certificates", the "Class Z
Certificates", the "Class R-I Certificates" and the "Class R-II Certificates"
(collectively, the "Private Certificates"). The Certificates evidence in the
aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") consisting primarily of 152 commercial mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans") having an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-Off Date of
approximately $1,200,914,923. Each Mortgage Loan is secured by a mortgage lien
on a fee or leasehold interest in an income producing property. Certain of the
Mortgage Loans (the "Wachovia Loans") were acquired by the Registrant from
Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia") pursuant to a Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2003, between the Registrant and
Wachovia, certain of the Mortgage Loans (the "Citigroup Loans") were acquired by
the Registrant from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. ("Citigroup") pursuant
to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2003, between the
Registrant and Citigroup, certain of the Mortgage Loans (the "Nomura Loans")
were acquired by the Registrant from Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. ("Nomura")

between the Registrant and Nomura and certain of the Mortgage Loans (the
"Artesia Loans") were acquired by the Registrant from Artesia Mortgage Capital
Corporation ("Artesia", and collectively with Wachovia, Citigroup and Nomura,
the "Sellers") pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of July
1, 2003, between the Registrant and Artesia. The source of funds for payment of
the purchase price for the Wachovia Loans, the Citigroup Loans, the Nomura Loans
and the Artesia Loans paid by the registrant to the Sellers was derived from the
sale of the Certificates by the Registrant to Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC
(successor in interest to Wachovia Securities, LLC) ("Wachovia Securities"),
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup Securities"). Nomura Securities
International, Inc. ("Nomura Securities") and Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman")
pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated June 24, 2003, among the
Registrant, Wachovia Securities, Citigroup Securities, Nomura Securities and
Lehman (pertaining to the Offered Certificates), and a Certificate Purchase
Agreement, dated June 24, 2003, among the Registrant, Wachovia Securities,

X-C, Class X-P, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K,
Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P Certificates). The Registrant is
a wholly-owned limited purpose finance subsidiary of Wachovia. On July 1, 2003,
the Registrant transferred the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund pursuant to the
Pooling Agreement. The consideration received by the Registrant in exchange for
such transfer consisted of the Certificates. The Offered Certificates and the
Mortgage Loans are more particularly described in the Prospectus, dated June 12,
