ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS
                              BRE PROPERTIES, INC.
                        PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


     This unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of 
operations of BRE Properties, Inc. ("BRE") for the year ended December 31, 
1996, giving effect to the acquisition by BRE of Promontory Point Apartments, 
San Ramon, California for $43,700,000 (completed on December 31, 1996), as if 
this acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996.  In addition, the pro forma 
data assumes that this acquisition was financed in part with proceeds from 
BRE's lines of credit (totaling $150,000,000), as if such borrowings had 
occurred on January 1, 1996. In addition, this proforma statement of  
operations reflects the merger of BRE with Real Estate Investment Trust of 
California ("RCT") (the "Merger") completed on March 15, 1996 as if the 
Merger had occurred on January 1, 1996 and the acquisition of Foster's 
Landing Apartments (completed on September 27, 1996) as if the acquisition 
had occurred on January 1, 1996.  In the opinion of management all 
adjustments necessary to present fairly such pro forma data have been made.

     The unaudited pro forma statement of operations should be read in 
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of 
the transition Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The unaudited 
pro forma statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of what the 
actual results of operations of BRE would have been for the period had the 
transactions occurred at the beginning of the period nor does it purport to 
indicate the results of future periods.

                             STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

(a)  Increase in depreciation charges due to recording the properties acquired
     from RCT at BRE's purchase price, and the related depreciation utilizing an
     estimated useful life of 40 years and a cost basis of approximately $274
     million (allocated 80% to buildings and improvements in accordance with
     BRE's accounting policies), as follows:


                                                       For the period
                                                  January 1- March 15, 1996
                                                  -------------------------

Pro forma depreciation expense on cost
 of depreciable assets acquired                                  $1,143
Less: RCT historical depreciation                                (1,159)

                                                  -------------------------

(b) Decrease in interest expense as follows:

                                                       For the period
                                                  January 1- March 15, 1996
                                                  -------------------------

Elimination of amortization of loan fees
 included in interest expense related to
 deferred loan fees eliminated by purchase
 accounting from RCT historical data                             $    41
                                                  -------------------------
Pro forma adjustment                                             $    41
                                                  -------------------------
                                                  -------------------------

(c) The net increase in other costs as a result of the Merger, including 
    savings from internalizing property management, professional and trustee 
    fees, franchise taxes, shareholder reporting and the elimination of 
    corporate the office of RCT.  Such savings are offset in part by 
    reassessed property taxes and unit enhancement costs which were 
    capitalized by RCT and are expensed by BRE.  Amounts are derived from the 
    actual historical costs for those items which are expected to be 
    eliminated or reduced as a result of the Merger, the internalization of 
    property management for BRE multifamily and commerical investments, and 
    the changes in the BRE Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock 
    Option Plan.

The foregoing data constitutes forward-looking information.  Certain of the pro
forma adjustments are based on operating synergies and other cost savings
expected to be realized from the Merger.  The cost and timing of integrating the
operations of the two companies are contingencies which are not fully within the
control of Management.  Accordingly, it cannot be estimated with any certainty
as to when the expected cost savings will be realized, and there may be
differences between the expected savings and the actual results, which
differences could be material.

                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To BRE Properties, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of Gross Income and Direct Operating
Expenses of Promontory Point Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This Statement is the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 Statement is free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the Statement.  An audit also includes assessing the basis of
accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.  We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
the amendment to Form 8K filed by BRE Properties, Inc. as described in Note 2,
and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company's revenue and
expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in Note 2 of
Promontory Point Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO STATEMENT OF GROSS INCOME
                            AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

                         FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

BRE Properties, Inc. ("BRE") acquired Promontory Point Apartments ("the
Property") on December 31, 1996 from an unrelated party.  The Property is a 400-
unit apartment community located in San Ramon, California.

Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and minor renewals are charged to expense
as incurred, while those expenditures that improve or extend the estimated
useful life of the Property are capitalized.

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Statement of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses excludes the
following expenses which are not comparable with those resulting from the
proposed future operations of the Property:

- -   Depreciation and amortization expense
- -   Mortgage interest expense

Property taxes have not been adjusted to reflect the estimated reassessed value
of the Property after acquisition by BRE.

BRE has not provided for federal income taxes because it believes it qualifies
as a real estate investment trust under Section 856-860 of the Internal Revenue
Code and similar California statutes and distributes substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders.

BRE is not aware of any material factors relating to the Property that would
cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future
operating results.
