Item 5. Other Events


      Colonial   Realty  Limited   Partnership   (CRLP),   a  Delaware   limited
partnership,  is the Operating  Partnership  of Colonial  Properties  Trust,  an
Alabama real estate  investment  trust whose common shares are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol CLP. CRLP owns and operates commercial real
estate in the southern  United  States.  CRLP has acquired one retail  center in
Florida,  one multifamily  apartment community in South Carolina, a portfolio of
three retail properties located in Brunswick, Gainesville, and Valdosta, Georgia
(the  Georgia  Malls),  and a portfolio of eight  retail  properties  located in
Burlington,  Mount Airy,  Greensboro,  Yadkinville,  and Locust, North Carolina,
Staunton  and  Abingdon,  Virginia,  and  Chattanooga,   Tennessee  (the  Retail
Portfolio) (the Acquired  Properties)  since September 17, 1997 (the date of the
last Form 8-K filed).  In connection  with the acquisition of the Georgia Malls,
which was structured as a like-kind exchange,  CRLP disposed of four multifamily
properties (the Exchanged  Properties)  totaling 2,096 apartment units. CRLP has
also acquired the remaining  50% interest in an office  building in  Birmingham,
Alabama, which houses its corporate headquarters, and the remaining 13% interest
in another  office  building in  Birmingham.  The  following is a summary of the
material terms of the transactions.

In  accordance  with Rule 3-14 of  Regulation  S-X,  financial  statements  with
respect to the Georgia Malls, the Retail Portfolio,  and a multifamily community
acquired  prior to September 17, 1997,  are being filed because CRLP has already
acquired the properties and the book value of the properties,  in the aggregate,
are significant.

Terms of Acquisition

The  thirteen  Acquired  Properties  total 350  apartment  units and 3.1 million
square feet of retail space and were  purchased at a combined  purchase price of
$211.2 million. The acquisitions decrease CRLP's multifamily portfolio to 13,631
apartment units (as discussed  below),  and increase CRLP's retail  portfolio to
10.3 million  square feet.  In  connection  with the  acquisition  of two of the
Acquired  Properties,  CRLP assumed existing mortgages totaling $5.7 million. In
association  with  three  of  the  Acquired  Properties,   CRLP  exchanged  four
multifamily  properties  totaling 2,096 apartment units valued at $54.8 million.
The  remainder of the purchase  price of the  Acquired  Properties  was financed
through  the  issuance  of  limited  partnership  units and  advances  on CRLP's
unsecured line of credit.

Description of Property
Acquired Properties

Lakewood Plaza--Jacksonville, Florida

On October  14,  1997,  CRLP  acquired  Lakewood  Plaza,  a 195,000  square foot
community  shopping  center in  Jacksonville,  Florida.  The  center,  which was
redeveloped in 1995, was 94% leased at the time of  acquisition.  Lakewood Plaza
includes a 48,000  square foot Winn Dixie and a 10,000 square foot Beall's along
with 137,000 square feet of  specialty-shop  space.  The purchase price of $14.4
million was financed through the issuance of 74,709 limited  partnership  units,
valued at $2.1 million,  and an advance on CRLP's unsecured line of credit.  The
acquisition  agreement  provides for CRLP to make an  additional  payment to the
seller if certain  lease-up  conditions are  satisfied.  CRLP expects to make an
additional  payment to the seller of approximately  $.7 million pursuant to this
provision.

Caledon Wood--Greenville, South Carolina

On October 31, 1997, CRLP acquired Caledon Wood, a 350-unit apartment complex on
approximately 25 acres of land in Greenville,  South Carolina. The community was
developed  between 1995 and 1996, and was 90% leased at the time of acquisition.
The purchase price of $21.3 million,  was financed  through an advance on CRLP's
unsecured  line of  credit.  The  average  unit size is 1,049  square  feet with
average unit market rent of $727 per month.

Georgia Malls--Brunswick, Gainesville, and Valdosta Georgia

On November 4, 1997,  CRLP acquired the Georgia  Malls,  which consists of three
retail malls located in  Brunswick,  Gainesville,  and  Valdosta,  Georgia for a
total  purchase  price of $97 million.  The Georgia Malls contain a total of 1.4
million square feet of gross leasable area. In connection  with the  acquisition
of the Georgia Malls, which was structured as a like-kind exchange, CRLP sold to
a third party four multifamily  properties (Ski Lodge I, Ski Lodge II, Ski Lodge
III and Vieux Carre,  containing a total of 2,096  apartment  units) for a total
sale price of $54.8 million.  The purchaser of the  multifamily  properties paid
the sale price by assuming an existing mortgage of approximately $10 million and
paid the remainder in cash. The cash portion of the sale price, together with an
advance on CRLP's  unsecured line of credit,  was used to pay the purchase price
of the Georgia Malls.

Retail Portfolio--North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia

On November  20,  December 1 and  December  5, 1997,  CRLP  acquired  the Retail
Portfolio, which consists of three enclosed malls located in Staunton,  Virginia
and  Burlington  and Mount Airy,  North  Carolina  and five  community  shopping
centers located in Abingdon,  Virginia,  Greensboro,  Locust,  and  Yadkinville,
North Carolina and  Chattanooga,  Tennessee.  CRLP acquired the Retail Portfolio
for a total purchase price of $78.5 million.  The Retail Portfolio  contains 1.5
million  square feet of gross  leasable  area.  The purchase price of the Retail
Portfolio was funded through the  assumption of debt totaling $5.7 million,  the
issuance of 608,545 limited  partnership  units valued at $18.0 million,  and an
advance  on CRLP's  unsecured  line of  credit.  In  connection  with one of the
properties in the Retail Portfolio,  the acquisition agreement provides for CRLP
to make an additional  payment to the seller if certain lease-up  conditions are
satisfied.  CRLP  expects  to  make  an  additional  payment  to the  seller  of
approximately $1.8 million pursuant to this provision.

Other Properties

Colonial Plaza--Birmingham, Alabama

On November  14,  1997,  CRLP  acquired the  remaining  50% outside  interest in
Colonial Plaza, a 12 story office building in Birmingham,  Alabama. The purchase
increased  CRLP's  ownership  from  a 50%  interest  to  full  ownership  in the
building,  which totals  168,000 square feet. The purchase price of $7.4 million
was financed through the assumption of debt totaling $1.2 million and an advance
on CRLP's unsecured line of credit.  The building,  which was built in 1982, was
100% leased at the time of acquisition.


Riverchase Center--Birmingham, Alabama

Riverchase  Center,  an office park  comprised of eight  one-level  buildings in
Birmingham,  Alabama.  The  purchase  increased  CRLP's  ownership  from  an 87%
interest to full  ownership in the  buildings,  which total 306,000 square feet.
The purchase price of $3.4 million was financed  through the issuance of 114,798

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  Combined  Historical  Summary is free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the Combined  Historical  Summary.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management,  as well as evaluating the overall  presentation  of the Combined
Historical  Summary.  We believe our audit  provides a reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying  Combined  Historical  Summary of Revenues and Direct Operating
Expenses  was  prepared  for  the  purpose  of  complying  with  the  rules  and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K of Colonial Realty Limited Partnership, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenues and expenses of the Retail Portfolio.

In our  opinion,  the Combined  Historical  Summary  referred to above  presents
fairly, in all material respects,  the revenues and direct operating expenses of
the Retail  Portfolio for the year ended  December 31, 1996 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                              THE RETAIL PORTFOLIO
                     NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF
                     REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES



1.    Accounting Policies

      Description--The  accompanying Combined Historical Summary consists of the
      revenues  and  direct  operating  expenses  of the Retail  Portfolio  (the
      Properties),   which  consists  of  eight  retail  properties  located  in
      Virginia,   North  Carolina,   and  Tennessee.   Colonial  Realty  Limited
      Partnership  purchased the Properties for a total of  approximately  $78.5
      million.

      Basis of  Presentation--The  Combined  Historical  Summary of Revenues and
      Direct Operating Expenses includes gross operating revenues,  exclusive of
      interest income, and direct operating expenses,  exclusive of mortgage and
      other  interest  expense,  depreciation,  amortization,  management  fees,
      non-recurring  administrative  expenses,  and  federal,  state,  and local
      income taxes, if any.

      Income  Recognition--Revenue  from rental  property is recognized when due
      from tenants.

      Use of  Estimates--The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from
      those estimates.

2.    Leasing Operations

      Minimum base rentals due in future periods under  noncancelable  operating
      leases extending beyond one year at December 31, 1996, are as follows:

1997                 $  8,366,507
1998                    7,984,874
1999                    6,821,006
2000                    5,620,243
2001                    4,632,302
                      ------------

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed balance sheet reflects
significant  transactions  effected by CRLP after September 30, 1997,  including
the purchase of the thirteen Acquired  Properties,  and an offering of preferred
securities to the public by Colonial Properties Trust.

This unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet is not necessarily
indicative of the actual financial  position of CRLP had the  transactions  been
completed as of September 30, 1997,  nor does it purport to represent the future
financial  position of CRLP.  The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  condensed
balance  sheet  and  related  notes  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
information  appearing  in CRLP's 1996  Financial  Statements  as filed with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-K and the notes thereto and with
CRLP's March 31, 1997,  June 30, 1997, and September 30, 1997 Quarterly  Reports
as filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-Q and with the
financial  statements  included  therein and the notes thereto.  In management's
opinion, all adjustments  necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions
have been made.

(A)  Reflects the historical financial position of CRLP as of September 30, 1997
     as presented in CRLP's Form 10-Q as filed with the  Securities and Exchange
     Commission.

(B)  Includes the  acquisition  of the thirteen  Acquired  Properties;  Lakewood
     Plaza,  for a purchase price of $14.4 million,  Caledon Wood for a purchase
     price of $21.3  million,  the Georgia  Malls for a purchase  price of $97.0
     million,  the Retail  Portfolio for a purchase price of $78.5 million,  and
     the  purchases  of the  remaining  interests  in two  office  buildings  in
     Birmingham.  These property acquisitions were financed through the issuance
     of limited  partnership units, the exchange of four multifamily  properties
     in Alabama  with an  exchange  value of $54.8  million,  advances on CRLP's
     unsecured line of credit, the issuance of securities to the public, and the
     assumption of indebtedness on two of the properties.

The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   condensed   statements  of
operations reflect significant  transactions  effected by CRLP during 1997 which
includes the purchase of the thirteen Acquired  Properties  mentioned  elsewhere
herein.  In addition  to the  Acquired  Properties,  the  following  significant
transactions  are reflected in the unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  condensed
statements of operations:  (i) CRLP's cash contributions  received from Colonial
Properties  Trust's equity  offerings  completed in January 1996,  January 1997,
July 1997 and November 1997 (ii) CRLP's debt  offerings  completed in July 1996,
December 1996,  January 1997,  July 1997,  August 1997, and September  1997, and
(iii)  CRLP's  acquisition  of eleven  properties  during  1997  other  than the
thirteen Acquired Properties. The pro forma effects of all such transactions are
included  in the  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  condensed  statements  of
operations  assuming  the  transactions  had  occurred as of January 1, 1996 and
assuming  CRLP used the  proceeds  of the  equity  and debt  offerings  to repay
outstanding   indebtedness  (see  notes  to  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
condensed statements of operations).

These unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  statements of operations are
not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  actual  results  of  operations  had  the
transactions  been  completed  as of  January 1,  1996,  nor do they  purport to
represent the future results of the operations of CRLP. CRLP is not aware of any
material factors relating to the Acquired Properties, other than as disclosed in
the footnotes to the unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  statements of
operations,  which would cause the combined historical summaries of revenues and

                         NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                       CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Unaudited)


(A)  Reflects  CRLP's  historical  results  of  operations  for the  year  ended
     December 31, 1996,  as presented in CRLP's 1996 Annual Report as filed with
     the Securities and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-K and CRLP's  historical
     results of  operations  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as
     presented in CRLP's  September 30, 1997 Quarterly  Report as filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q.

 (B) Reflects the operating  results of the 24 properties  acquired  during 1997
     (less the operations of two multifamily  properties and one office property
     which were involved in two of the 1997 acquisitions, as discussed in CRLP's
     Form 8-K filed July 21, 1997),  less the operations of the four  properties
     exchanged  in  connection  with  one  of  the  acquisitions,  as  mentioned
     elsewhere  herein.  The results included as pro forma adjustments for these
     properties  include  those  operating  results  of the  properties  for the
     respective  periods  during  which  CRLP did not own the  properties.  This
     column also  reflects the net effect of the  application  of the equity and
     debt  offering  proceeds  to  repay  the  revolving  debt  incurred  in the
     acquisition  of properties  and mortgage debt. The interest saved from this
     repayment  of debt is shown  net of  interest  expense  arising  from  debt
     incurred from the debt offerings.

     Included  elsewhere herein is the Historical Summary of Revenues and Direct
     Operating  Expenses for a multifamily  property acquired on August 29, 1997
     (as  discussed  in  CRLP's  Form 8-K filed  September  17,  1997),  and the
     Combined Historical Summaries of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for
     eleven of the Acquired  Properties.  The pro forma statements of operations
     include certain adjustments made to these historical summaries as presented
     in the following table.

                                                 For the
                                               Year Ended

     (1) The excess of  revenues  over direct  operating  expenses is based upon
         historical  operations for the properties  acquired during 1997 for the
         year ended December 31, 1996, as contained in the Historical Summary of
         Revenues and Direct  Operating  Expenses  and the  Combined  Historical
         Summaries of Revenues and Direct Operating  Expenses included elsewhere
         herein for the properties  whose  December 31, 1996  financial  results
         have been audited.

     (2) The asset  basis used in the  computation  of  depreciation  includes a
         preliminary   allocation   of  the   purchase   price  to  land,   land
         improvements,  building, and personal property,  plus acquisition costs
         to date. Such allocation may be adjusted  pending receipt of additional
         information.  Depreciation  has been  computed  using the straight line
         method with cost recovery periods of 7 to 40 years.

     (3) Includes  interest  expense  incurred  from  sources  of funds  used to
         finance the acquisition of the Acquired  Properties  including advances
         on  CRLP's  unsecured  line  of  credit,  net  of  the  effect  of  the
         application  of the  equity  and debt  offering  proceeds  to repay the
         revolving  debt incurred in the  acquisition of properties and mortgage
         debt.  The interest  saved from this  repayment of debt is shown net of
         interest expense arising from debt incurred from the debt offerings.
