Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On August 7, 1998, PREIT Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("PALP") of which Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a
Pennsylvania business trust ("PREIT"), is the sole general partner, acquired
all of the limited partner interests in The Woods Associates, a Pennsylvania
limited partnership (the "Woods Partnership"), and a subsidiary of PALP
acquired all of the general partner interests of the Woods Partnership. The
aggregate purchase price for the transaction was approximately $21.2 million,
consisting of (i) assumed debt of approximately $7.3 million, (ii) the payment
by PALP of approximately $11.8 million of cash to former partners of the Woods
Partnership electing to receive cash, (iii) the issuance by PALP of 72,592
units of Class A limited partner interest in PALP to former partners of the
Woods Partnership electing to receive operating partnership units, such units
having a value of approximately $1.7 million as of the closing and (iv) the
payment by PALP of a brokerage fee of approximately $0.4 million.

         Prior to closing of the transaction, the sole purpose of the Woods
Partnership was the ownership and operation of a 100% fee simple interest in
The Woods Apartments, a Pennsylvania apartment property consisting of 320
dwelling units, a club house and swimming pool and a single-family dwelling
(the "Property"). PALP currently expects to continue to operate the Property
as a multifamily complex.

         Prior to the transaction, the Woods Partnership had approximately 60
partners, two of which were corporate general partners controlled by Michael
Glick and Lester Morse, respectively, and the remainder of which were limited
partners. PREIT is not aware of any material relationship between either of
Mr. Glick or Mr. Morse and (i) PREIT or any of its affiliates, (ii) any
officer or trustee of PREIT or (iii) any associate of the officers or trustees
of PREIT. PALP financed the cash portion of the purchase price through a
borrowing under PREIT's existing revolving line of credit with First Union
National Bank. The purchase price was determined in arms-length negotiations
among the parties based upon PREIT's valuation of the cash flow of the
Property.

Location of the Property

         The Property is located on a 33-acre site approximately 100 feet from
the off- and on- ramps for PA Route 309, at the intersection of Butler Pike
and Susquehanna Road, at 1410 East Butler Pike, Ambler, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, 19002-3737. The Property is two miles north of the Fort
Washington exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Description of the Property

         The multifamily complex consists of 320 units in 27 two-story
buildings. Also located on the property are a three-bedroom house and a
century old stone mansion that is used as a clubhouse/leasing office. The
complex's amenities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, barbecue pit and a
clubhouse. Constructed in the mid-1970s, the Property contains approximately
235,000 square feet of leasable space.




         The average square footage per unit of the complex's 320 units is
approximately 734 square feet. The apartments are generally rented for a term
of one year and automatically renew on an annual basis. The occupancy rate was
approximately 96% on August 7, 1998.

Taxes

         The 1998 property taxes are expected to be approximately $270,000.

Assumed Debt

         The Property is subject to a mortgage in the face amount of
$8,150,000, carrying an interest rate of 8.625%, amortizing over a 22-year
period. This mortgage was originated on May 19, 1993 and matures June 1, 2003.
The principal balance at the time of closing was approximately $7.3 million.

Competition

         There are several apartment and condominium communities in Eastern
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, only a few of which are located in the
immediate vicinity of the Property. Of the competing apartment communities,
some have monthly rents that are higher, and some have monthly rents that are
lower, than those of the Property.

Environmental

         PREIT has completed certain environmental studies of the Property and
plans to conduct certain others, including customary tests for radon gas.
PREIT is prepared to take the remedial steps that might be required by the
results of such tests, but does not expect that any remedial efforts it
undertakes would have a material adverse impact on its business.

Management Arrangement

         The Property will be managed by PALP or one of its affiliates.


         After reasonable inquiry, PREIT is not aware of any material factors
relating to the Property, other than those described in the foregoing
discussion, that would cause the financial information reported in Item 7(a)
hereof not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

                      TOGETHER WITH AUDITORS' REPORT












                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust:

We have audited the statement of revenue and certain expenses of The Woods
Apartments, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
financial statement is the responsibility of the The Woods Apartments'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial
statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

The statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of Pennsylvania Real
Estate Investment Trust as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of The Woods Apartments' revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of The Woods
Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                             THE WOODS APARTMENTS

              NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The statements of revenue and certain expenses reflect the operations of The
Woods Apartments (the "Property") located in Ambler, Pennsylvania. The
Property is expected to be acquired in August 1998 from The Woods Associates
by PREIT Associates, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a limited partnership
of which Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Company") is the sole
general partner. The Property is a multifamily apartment community comprised
of 320 apartment units. The net purchase price for the Property is expected to
be approximately $21 million.

The statements of revenue and certain expenses are to be included in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, as the above-described transaction has
been deemed significant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements of the Property
have been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements exclude certain
expenses such as interest, depreciation and amortization, and other costs not
directly related to the future operations of the Property.

The statement of revenue and certain expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1998 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair
presentation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses for the interim
period have been included. The results of the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The
ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

2.   OPERATING LEASES:

The Property is leased to tenants under operating leases with terms generally
equal to one year or less.





3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

During 1997, the Property paid total management fees of $85,000 to The Lester
Morse Company, Inc. and The Michael I. Glick Company, both of which are
related parties of the seller, based on 3% of gross rental revenue. These
management fees are included within maintenance and other operating expenses
in the statements of revenue and certain expenses.

4.    CAPITALIZATION  POLICY:

It is the policy of the Property's management to capitalize certain
expenditures related to the replacement of appliances, carpets and roofs, as
well as other major repairs to buildings, decks or parking facilities.






                   PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION


On February 17, 1998, the Registrant filed a Form 10-Q for the transition
period ended December 31, 1997. As such, the following sets forth the pro
forma consolidating balance sheet of the Registrant as of March 31, 1998 and
the pro forma consolidating statements of income for the year ended August 31,
1997, the four-month transition period ended December 31, 1997, and the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma consolidating financial information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Registrant, The
Rubin Organization, Inc. (subsequently renamed PREIT-RUBIN, Inc.), Magnolia
Mall, North Dartmouth Mall and Oxford Valley Road Associates and the related
notes thereto. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect
the effects of the transactions have been made.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidating financial information is
presented as if the transactions described below had been consummated on March
31, 1998 for balance sheet purposes and September 1, 1996 for purposes of the
statements of income:

o   The Registrant acquired The Woods Apartments located in Ambler,
    Pennsylvania on August 7, 1998 for a purchase price of approximately $21.2
    million consisting of $12.2 million in cash, $1.7 million through the
    issuance of Class A Operating Partnership ("OP") Units and $7.3 million 
    through the assumption of debt.

o   The Registrant consummated an offering in December 1997 (the "Offering")
    and applied the net proceeds therefrom as described below:

            -   The Company issued 4,600,000 shares of beneficial interest at
                $22.375 per share of which 600,000 shares related to the
                underwriter's exercise of the over-allotment option.

            -   The $8.8 million mortgage on Cobblestone Apartments was
                prepaid in full.

            -   The remaining net proceeds of the Offering were used to repay
                amounts outstanding on the Registrant's revolving credit
                facility (the "Credit Facility").

o   The Registrant acquired The Rubin Organization ("TRO") on September 30,
    1997 (the "TRO Transaction") which involved a number of related
    transactions, the combined effect of which was to form and capitalize an
    Operating Partnership and to transfer ownership of the Registrant's direct
    and indirect interests in its existing properties, or the economic
    benefits thereof, to the Operating Partnership, and to effect the
    acquisitions described below:

            -   TRO Acquisition. The Operating Partnership acquired all of the
                non-voting common shares of TRO, constituting 95% of all of
                the total equity of TRO, in exchange for the issuance of
                200,000 Class A OP Units and a contingent obligation to issue



                up to 800,000 additional Class A OP Units over the following
                five-year period if the Registrant achieves certain specified
                levels of funds from operations, on a per share basis, over
                such period.

            -   Existing Retail Properties Acquisition. The Operating
                Partnership acquired the interests of certain affiliates of
                TRO ("TRO Affiliates") in four existing shopping centers, or
                portions of shopping centers (the "Existing Retail
                Properties").

                Two of the properties (Magnolia Mall and North Dartmouth Mall)
                were purchased from Equity Properties and Development Limited
                Partnership ("EPDLP") for aggregate consideration, excluding
                transaction costs, of approximately $80 million, of which (i)
                $25.2 million represents an assumable mortgage, (ii) $5
                million was paid through the issuance of approximately 213,000
                Class B OP units to EPDLP for their interest in Magnolia Mall;
                and (iii) the balance was financed with borrowings under the
                Registrant's Credit Facility.

                The Operating Partnership issued approximately 233,000
                additional Class A OP units to TRO Affiliates in respect of
                their 50% equity interest in the Court at Oxford Valley.


            -   Development Properties Acquisition. The Operating Partnership
                became obligated to acquire, upon completion of construction,
                for Class A OP Units, the interests of certain TRO Affiliates
                in two shopping centers currently under construction, at
                prices based upon a pre-determined formula.

o   The Operating Partnership also acquired the rights of certain TRO
    Affiliates in respect of three potential shopping center sites in exchange
    for (i) a loan of cash to TRO in the amount of $3.4 million representing
    actual out-of-pocket expenditures of TRO incurred with respect of such
    properties through the closing date, and (ii) an obligation to issue, upon
    completion of any property subsequently developed, Class A OP Units for
    one-half of the difference between the aggregate value of all such
    properties at the time of completion and the all-in-cost of all such
    properties.

    As these transactions are expected to occur in the future at amounts that
    are not currently determinable, the financial impact of such future events
    has not been reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements.

All of the acquisitions described above have been recorded by the Registrant
using the purchase method of accounting.

The pro forma consolidating financial information is unaudited and is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position or results of
operations of the Registrant would have been had the transactions described
above been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor does it purport to
represent the future financial position and the results of operations of the
Registrant.
