                Equity Residential Reports 2005 Results; Exceeds
                    Guidance Due to Strong Condominium Sales


     CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2006--Equity Residential (NYSE:EQR), the
largest publicly traded apartment company in America, today reported results for
the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. All per share results are reported
on a fully diluted basis.
     "As we expected, the continuing improvement in the economy, growth in jobs
and diminished supply in our core markets facilitated a strong finish to 2005
and will continue to benefit Equity Residential in 2006," said David J.
Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO.

     Fourth Quarter 2005

     For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the company reported earnings of
$0.74 per share compared to $0.48 per share in the fourth quarter of 2004. The
quarterly increase is primarily attributable to higher gains from sales of land
parcels, properties and condominiums.
     Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 were
$0.66 per share compared to $0.56 per share in the same period of 2004. The
positive variance was primarily the result of higher gains on sales of land
parcels and condominiums in the quarter. The company's fourth quarter FFO
exceeded the high end of the guidance provided by the company on November 1,
2005 by $0.06 per share. This excess is comprised of $0.01 per share from
continued improvement in the company's same-store performance, $0.02 per share
related to the company's Watermarke condominium joint venture property in
California and $0.03 per share from the sale of condominium units at two of the
company's Florida properties.
     Total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were $518.9
million compared to $451.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The primary
components of this $67.0 million increase in revenues include the properties
purchased after January 1, 2005 as well as a $25.1 million increase in
same-store revenues.

     Year Ended December 31, 2005

     For the year ended December 31, 2005, the company reported earnings of
$2.79 per share compared to $1.48 per share in the same period of 2004. The
annual increase 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 year ended December 31, 2005 was $2.52 per share compared to
$2.14 per share in the same period of 2004.
     Total revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December 31,
2005 were $1.95 billion compared to $1.75 billion in the same period of 2004.

     Same-Store Results

     On a same-store fourth quarter to fourth quarter comparison, which includes
163,196 apartment units, revenues increased 5.9 percent, expenses increased 5.2
percent and NOI increased 6.4 percent. On a sequential same-store comparison for
these same 163,196 apartment units from third quarter 2005 to fourth quarter
2005, revenues increased 1.3 percent, expenses decreased 4.0 percent and NOI
increased 5.2 percent.
     On a same-store year to year comparison, which includes 154,854 apartment
units, revenues increased 3.9 percent, expenses increased 5.6 percent and NOI
increased 2.8 percent.

     Acquisitions/Dispositions

     "2005 was a tremendous year of progress towards our goal of adding
high-quality, well-located assets to our portfolio, with acquisitions of over
$2.5 billion," said Mr. Neithercut. "We also sold more than $1.9 billion of
properties that were older or in slower growth markets, receiving good pricing
and furthering our goal of reducing the number of markets in which we operate.
In 2006 we will continue to work towards these goals with $1.5 billion in
anticipated acquisitions and $1.5 billion in planned dispositions."
     During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company acquired 15 properties,
consisting of 4,891 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4
billion at an average capitalization (cap) rate of 4.7 percent and four land
parcels for $91.6 million.
     Also during the quarter, the company sold 11 properties, consisting of
2,636 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $274.6 million at an
average cap rate of 5.2 percent and three land parcels for $72.0 million. In
addition, the company sold 652 condominium units for $165.2 million.
     In the year ended December 31, 2005, the company acquired 41 properties,
consisting of 12,059 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5
billion at an average cap rate of 5.1 percent and seven land parcels for $138.3
million. In addition, the company sold 50 properties, consisting of 12,848
apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $1.4 billion at an average cap
rate of 5.0 percent. In addition, the company sold 2,241 condominium units for

(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) December YTD 2005 and Fourth Quarter 2005 expenses exclude the
    uninsured property damage caused by Hurricane Wilma. December YTD
    2004 and Fourth Quarter 2004 expenses exclude the uninsured
    property damage caused by Hurricanes Frances, Charley, Ivan and
    Jeanne.

(2) 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.

(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.
