          Equity Residential Reports Second Quarter Results;
          Second Quarter Same-Store NOI Increases 7.6 Percent

    CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2006--Equity Residential
(NYSE:EQR) today reported results for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2006. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted
basis.
    "Our second quarter performance, with same-store NOI growth of 7.6
percent, reflects both the continuing strength of the multifamily
business, as well as the progress we have made in transforming our
portfolio," said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President
and CEO. "We are creating value for our shareholders by focusing on
markets and properties which will generate better long term returns as
evidenced by the second quarter same-store results of our 2004 and
first quarter 2005 acquisitions, which achieved 12.5 percent and 16.8
percent NOI growth, respectively."

    Second Quarter 2006

    For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the company reported earnings
of $0.51 per share compared to $0.44 per share in the second quarter
of 2005. The quarterly increase is primarily attributable to higher
gains on property sales as well as the items discussed below.
    Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006
were $0.61 per share compared to $0.56 per share in the same period of
2005. The increase is primarily attributable to continued improvement
in "same-store" net operating income and excellent growth from new
acquisitions.
    On June 28, 2006, the company announced that it had entered into
an agreement to sell its Lexford Housing Division. At that time, the
company revised its guidance range for second quarter FFO to $0.56 to
$0.58 per share from $0.55 to $0.60 per share due to an anticipated
second quarter 2006 charge of $0.02 per share related to the early
extinguishment of certain debt encumbering that portfolio. That charge
will be incurred when the debt is extinguished, which is anticipated
to occur concurrently with the closing of the sale, expected in the
fourth quarter of 2006. As a result of the above as well as very
positive property performance, the reported second quarter FFO of
$0.61 per share exceeded the high end of the company's original
guidance range by $0.01 per share.
    Total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were
$491.9 million compared to $415.2 million in the second quarter of
2005. The primary components of this $76.7 million increase in
revenues include the properties acquired in 2005 and early 2006 as
well as strong same store performance.

    Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

    For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the company reported
earnings of $1.76 per share compared to $1.19 per share in the same
period of 2005.
    FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.17 per share
compared to $1.30 per share in the same period of 2005. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a $0.18 per share decrease in other
income due to the gain recognized in 2005 from eBay's acquisition of
the company's interest in Rent.com.
    Total revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 were $963.7 million compared to $814.3 million in the
same period of 2005.

    Same-Store Results

    On a same-store second quarter to second quarter comparison, which
includes 132,093 units, revenues increased 5.9 percent, expenses
increased 3.5 percent and NOI increased 7.6 percent. The increase in
same-store revenues was driven primarily by increases in rental rate
and a decrease in concessions.
    On a same-store six-month to six-month comparison, which includes
129,965 units, revenues increased 6.0 percent, expenses increased 4.5
percent and NOI increased 7.0 percent.
    All same-store results exclude the Lexford Housing Division.

    Same-Store and FFO Guidance

    "The continued improvement in the performance of our properties in
the second quarter and first six months of the year and our new
expectations for the second half of the year lead us to raise our
guidance for same-store revenues and NOI and lower our expense
guidance for the year," said Mr. Neithercut. "This guidance is not
affected by the removal of the Lexford portfolio from our same-store
results. The Lexford revenue and expense numbers are tracking
similarly to our conventional same-store portfolio."
    "We are leaving unchanged our 2006 FFO guidance of $2.30 to $2.50
per share, because the sale of the Lexford portfolio, which is a very
positive step in our portfolio reconfiguration, will result in $0.05
per share of FFO dilution for the full year and result in the company
generating FFO in the middle of that range. It is important to note,
however, that this dilution will be partially offset by a reduction in
capital expenditures."

(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.
    All same store results exclude the Lexford Housing Division.

(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.
