ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On December 28, 2000, a joint venture between Beacon Capital Partners,
Inc. ("Beacon") and an entity affiliated with PaineWebber sold One Kendall
Square for $192 million to a joint venture between Lincoln Property Company,
Dallas, Texas, and The J.E. Robert Companies, McLean, Virginia (collectively,
the "Buyers"). The purchase price was determined in arms-length negotiations
between the joint venturers and the Buyers. Following the sale, the joint
venture distributed the majority of the sale proceeds to the joint venturers.
As a result of the sale, Beacon will make a special dividend
distribution to its unitholders and shareholders. The distribution, amounting to
$2.00 per share or unit, will be paid to unitholders of Beacon Capital Partners,
L.P. and to shareholders of Beacon, each as of a record date of January 5, 2001.
The payment date for the special dividend is expected to be January 19, 2001.
