  Equity Residential Reports Third Quarter Results;
             Announces Additional $500 Million Share Buyback Program


    CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2005--Equity Residential
(NYSE:EQR) today reported results for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2005. All per share results are reported on a
fully diluted basis.
    "Our third quarter results were driven by very good same-store
revenue growth, strong condominium sales and excellent progress on our
portfolio reconfiguration. Continued success in these areas as well as
good job growth and household formations in our key markets should
lead to a strong finish to 2005 and a very good 2006," said Bruce W.
Duncan, Equity Residential's CEO.

    Third Quarter 2005

    For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the company reported
earnings of $0.86 per share compared to $0.26 per share in the third
quarter of 2004. The quarterly increase is primarily attributable to
$0.63 per share in higher gains on property and condominium sales,
partially offset by $0.04 per share in higher interest expense.
    Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended September 30,
2005 were $0.56 per share compared to $0.50 per share in the same
period of 2004. The positive variance was primarily the result of
$0.07 per share in higher gains on condominium sales and $0.02 per
share of improved same-store results, offset by the previously
mentioned $0.04 per share of higher interest expense.
    Total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were
$504.4 million compared to $456.6 million in the third quarter of
2004. The primary components of this $47.8 million increase in
revenues include the properties acquired since October 1, 2004 as well
as an approximate $18.4 million increase in third quarter same-store
revenues.

    Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the company reported
earnings of $2.05 per share compared to $1.00 per share in the same
period of 2004. The increase for the period is primarily attributable
to higher gains on property and condominium sales and the previously
announced gain due to eBay Inc.'s acquisition of the company's
ownership interest in Rent.com.
    FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.86 per
share compared to $1.58 per share in the same period of 2004.
    Total revenues from continuing operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 were $1.5 billion compared to $1.3 billion in
the same period of 2004.

    Same-Store Results

    On a same-store third quarter to third quarter comparison, which
includes 165,673 units, revenues increased 4.3 percent, expenses
increased 6.2 percent and net operating income (NOI) increased 3.0
percent. The increase in same-store expenses in the third quarter of
2005 includes approximately $3.7 million of additional insurance
expense related to the impact of two property fires and Hurricane
Katrina. Without the fire and hurricane related insurance expenses,
the same-store expense and NOI increases would have been 4.1 percent
and 4.4 percent, respectively, for the quarter.
    On a sequential same-store comparison for these same 165,673 units
from second quarter 2005 to third quarter 2005, revenues increased 1.5
percent, expenses increased 5.0 percent and NOI decreased 0.8 percent.
Without the fire and hurricane related insurance expenses, the
same-store expense and NOI increases for the sequential period would
have been 2.9 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively.
    On a same-store nine-month to nine-month comparison, which
includes 158,005 units, revenues increased 3.2 percent, expenses
increased 5.6 percent and NOI increased 1.6 percent. Without the fire
and hurricane related insurance expenses, the same-store expense and
NOI increases for the period would have been 4.8 percent and 2.2
percent, respectively.

    Acquisitions/Dispositions

    During the third quarter of 2005, the company acquired six
properties, consisting of 2,294 units, for an aggregate purchase price
of $416.0 million at an average capitalization (cap) rate of 5.7
percent and one land parcel for $1.4 million.
    Also during the quarter, the company sold 15 properties,
consisting of 4,218 units, for an aggregate sale price of $433.0
million at an average cap rate of 5.2 percent. In addition, the
company sold 569 condominium units for $183.9 million and a 248-unit
property in the process of being converted to condominiums for $45.9
million.
    In the first nine months of 2005, the company acquired 26
properties, consisting of 7,168 units, for an aggregate purchase price
of $1.1 billion at an average cap rate of 5.6 percent and three land
parcels for $46.7 million. In addition, the company sold 39
properties, consisting of 10,212 units, for an aggregate sale price of
$1.1 billion at an average cap rate of 5.0 percent. In addition, the
company sold 1,341 condominium units for $382.2 million, a 248-unit
property in the process of being converted to condominiums for $45.9
million and two land parcels for $36.3 million.
    "We have had an excellent year in our transaction activity,
garnering very good prices on the sale of assets and executing on
opportunities to add high-quality, well-located properties to our
portfolio," said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President.

    Share Buyback Authorization

    The company also announced a new common share repurchase program
in the amount of $500 million. The new authorization is in addition to
the $85 million remaining under the company's existing $200 million
authorization approved in July 2002.
    The new program authorizes the company to repurchase common shares
from time to time through the open market or privately negotiated
transactions, subject to financial and market conditions and legal
requirements.

(1) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
    ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations ("FFO") (April 2002 White
    Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP")),
    excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property,
    plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated
    to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The April 2002
    White Paper states that gain or loss on sales of property is
    excluded from FFO for previously depreciated operating properties
    only. Once the Company commences the conversion of units to
    condominiums, it simultaneously discontinues depreciation of such
    property.

(2) The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a
    supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate
    company, because it is a recognized measure of performance by the
    real estate industry and by excluding gains or losses related to
    dispositions of depreciable property and excluding real estate
    depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in
    similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful
    life estimates), FFO can help compare the operating performance of
    a company's real estate between periods or as compared to
    different companies. FFO in and of itself does not represent net
    income or net cash flows from operating activities in accordance
    with GAAP. Therefore, FFO should not be exclusively considered as
    an alternative to net income or to net cash flows from operating
    activities as determined by GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. The
    Company's calculation of FFO may differ from other real estate
    companies due to, among other items, variations in cost
    capitalization policies for capital expenditures and, accordingly,
    may not be comparable to such other real estate companies.

(1) The Company's primary financial measure for evaluating each of its
    apartment communities is net operating income ("NOI"). NOI
    represents rental income less property and maintenance expense,
    real estate tax and insurance expense, and property management
    expense. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as
    a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real
    estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual
    operating results of the Company's apartment communities.

   Dispositions                           $1.4 billion

(1) Earnings per share ("EPS") represents net income per share
    calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally
    accepted in the United States.  Expected EPS is calculated on a
    basis consistent with actual EPS.  Due to the uncertain timing and
    extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on
    sales, actual EPS could differ materially from expected EPS.
(2) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
    ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations ("FFO") (April 2002 White
    Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States), excluding
    gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus
    depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated
    to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Expected FFO
    is calculated on a basis consistent with actual FFO.
