                Equity Residential Reports Third Quarter Results

          Third Quarter Same-Store NOI Increases 9.1 Percent


    CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2006--Equity Residential (NYSE:
EQR) today reported results for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2006. All per share results are reported on a fully
diluted basis.

    "We had an excellent third quarter, with our same-store portfolio
generating 9.1 percent NOI growth and our 2003, 2004 and 2005
acquisitions generating average NOI growth of 12.5 percent.
Complimenting this terrific operating performance were acquisitions of
high quality assets in our target markets and the completion of the
sale of our Lexford portfolio in early October," said David J.
Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO. "Although we have
expectations for continued strong same-store performance for the
remainder of the year, we are revising our FFO guidance range for the
full year to $2.32 to $2.35 per share, from our previous guidance
toward the middle of a $2.30 to $2.50 per share range, due primarily
to slightly higher than expected debt prepayment costs from the sale
of Lexford as well as a lower than expected contribution from our
condominium business."

    Third Quarter 2006

    For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the company reported
earnings of $0.19 per share compared to $0.87 per share in the third
quarter of 2005. The quarterly decrease is primarily attributable to
higher gains on sales of properties in the third quarter of 2005 as
well as the items discussed below.

    Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended September 30,
2006 were $0.62 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.

    Total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were
$513.9 million compared to $430.8 million in the third quarter of
2005. The primary components of this $83.1 million increase in
revenues are the properties acquired in 2005 and 2006 as well as
strong same-store performance.

    Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the company reported
earnings of $1.95 per share compared to $2.05 per share in the same
period of 2005.

    FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $1.78 per
share compared to $1.86 per share in the same period of 2005.

    Total revenues from continuing operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 were $1.5 billion compared to $1.2 billion in
the same period of 2005.

    Same-Store Results

    On a same-store third quarter to third quarter comparison, which
includes 133,526 units, revenues increased 5.9 percent, expenses
increased 1.4 percent and NOI increased 9.1 percent. The increase in
same-store revenues was driven primarily by continued increases in
rental rate.

    On a same-store nine-month to nine-month comparison, which
includes 129,965 units, revenues increased 6.0 percent, expenses
increased 3.2 percent and NOI increased 7.8 percent.

    All same-store results exclude the Lexford Housing Division.

    Portfolio Transformation

    During the third quarter of 2006, the company acquired ten
properties, consisting of 2,558 units, for an aggregate purchase price
of $504.8 million at an average capitalization (cap) rate of 5.1
percent, and one land parcel for $17.0 million.

    Also during the quarter, the company sold two properties,
consisting of 133 units, for an aggregate sale price of $3.0 million
at an average cap rate of 7.6 percent. In addition, the company sold
315 condominium units for $65.4 million and one land parcel for $0.7
million.

    In the first nine months of 2006, the company acquired 28
properties, consisting of 7,480 units, for an aggregate purchase price
of $1.4 billion at an average cap rate of 5.0 percent, and six land
parcels for $93.5 million.

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the company sold
40 properties, consisting of 10,661 units, for an aggregate sale price
of $1.0 billion at an average cap rate of 5.5 percent generating an
unlevered internal rate of return (IRR) of 12.2 percent. In addition,
the company sold 840 condominium units for $172.6 million and two land
parcels for $1.6 million.

(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.


(3) Gain on sales of discontinued operations, net of minority
 interests, has been reduced by approximately $4.5 million in one-time
 accrued retention benefits for both the nine months and quarter ended
 September 30, 2006, related to the previously announced October 5,
 2006 closing of the Lexford Housing Division disposition.

    (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.
