ITEM 5.   OTHER  EVENT

On December 7, 1998,  United Dominion  Realty Trust,  Inc.  ("United  Dominion")
completed the acquisition of American Apartment  Communities II, Inc. ("AAC") in
a statutory merger (the "AAC Merger").  ACC's principal asset was a 79% interest
in American Apartment  Communities II, LP. In connection with the acquisition of
AAC, United Dominion acquired 53 communities with 14,001 apartment homes located
primarily in California, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest and Florida. The AAC
Merger was  structured  as a tax-free  merger and was treated as a purchase  for
accounting  purposes.  No  good  will  was  recorded  in  connection  with  this
transaction.  In  connection  with  the AAC  Merger,  United  Dominion  acquired
primarily real estate assets  totaling $766.9  million.  The aggregate  purchase
price consisted of the following:  (i) 8,000,000 shares of the United Dominion's
7.5% Series D Convertible  Preferred Stock ($25  liquidation  preference  value)
with a fair  market  value of $175  million  which is  convertible  into  United
Dominion's  Common Stock at $16.25 per share,  (ii) the issuance of 5,614,035 OP
units to holders of the 21% minority interests in American Apartment Communities
II,  L.P.  with an  aggregate  fair  market  value of $67.4  million,  (iii) the
assumption of $457.7 million of secured notes payable at fair market value, (iv)
the assumption of liabilities and minority  interests  aggregating $27.8 million
and (v) $59.8 million of cash.  The aggregate  purchase  price in the AAC Merger
was $793.7 million, including transaction costs.

Information  concerning  unaudited  pro forma  results of  operations  of United
Dominion for the year ended December 31, 1998 are contained herein. For 1998, in
addition to the AAC Merger,  such pro forma  information  assumes the  following
transactions occurred on January 1, 1998: (i) the March 27, 1998, acquisition of
ASR Investments  Corporation , a publicly traded  multifamily REIT that owned 39
communities with 7,550 apartment homes for an aggregate purchase price of $323.1
million and (ii) the  acquisition of 13 communities  with 4,318  apartment homes
for an aggregate purchase price of $144.0 million.

All of the acquisitions previously described have been accounted for as
purchases of real estate and operating results for those communities are
reflected in United Dominion's consolidated financial statements from their
respective dates of acquisition.

              UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 1998 is not
presented as the acquisitions reported on this Form 8-K were consumated on or
before December 31, 1998 and are therefore included in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998. Effective December 7, 1998, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of United Dominion purchased American Apartment
Communities II, Inc. ("AAC") a real estate investment trust in a statutory
merger (the "Merger"). The Merger has been accounted for as a purchase in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Assets and
liabilities acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values at December
31, 1998 and results of operations are included from the date of acquisition.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1998 is presented as if the AAC Merger had occurred on
January 1, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations gives
effect to the AAC Merger under the purchase method of accounting in accordance
with Accounting Standards Board Opinion No. 16, and the combined entity
qualifying as a REIT, distributing at least 95% of its taxable income, and
therefore, incurring no federal income tax liability for the periods presented.
In addition to the AAC Merger, the column titled "Previously Reported
Transactions" is presented as if the following acquisitions occurred on January
1, 1998: (i) 39 apartment communities with 7,550 apartment homes owned by ASR
Investments Corporation that were merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the United Dominion, in a statutory merger on March 27, 1998 and (ii) the
1998 acquisitions of 13 communities containing 4,318 apartment homes.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what United
Dominion's actual results would have been for the twelve months ended December
31, 1998 if the Merger and other acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of
the period presented, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results of
operations in future periods. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of
Operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by, the historical financial statements and notes thereto of United Dominion
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998
and the pro forma financial statements and notes thereto of United Dominion's
Form 8-K dated May 28, 1998 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on October 19, 1998.

(G)     Represents the estimated net increase in depreciation of real estate
        owned as a result of recording the AAC real estate at fair value versus
        historical cost and using United Dominion's depreciable lives.

        useful lives of the related assets which have an estimated weighted
        average useful life of approximately 28.6 years. Buildings have been
        depreciated over 35 years and other assets over 5, 10 or 20 years
        depending on the useful life of the related asset.

(J)     Reflects the increase in minority interest expense assuming the
        consummation of the AAC Merger on January 1, 1998. A percentage of net
        income was allocated to Minority Interests representing interests not
        owned by United Dominion. The pro forma allocation to Minority Interests
        is based upon the percentage owned by such Minority Interests as a
        result of the AAC Merger. In connection with the AAC Merger Agreement,
        United Dominion Realty, LP issued 5,614,035 OP Units to the Limited
        Partners in exchange for their 20.9% interest in AAC II, LP. As a
        result, the pro forma weighted average OP Units outstanding, including
        the pro forma effect of the AAC Merger (as a percentage of all common
        stock and Operating Partnership Units) was 8.72% for the twelve months
        ended December 31, 1998.

        The Minority Interests ownership in United Dominion is calculated as
follows:

        United Dominion historical weighted average common
           shares outstanding                                          99,966

                                                                        -----
               Total pro forma weighted average common shares         103,927

        United Dominion historical weighted average
           OP Units outstanding                                         2,963
        OP Units issued in connection with the Previously
          Reported Transactions                                         1,352
        OP Units issued in connection with the AAC Merger               5,614
                                                                        -----

(K)     Reflects the increase in distributions to preferred shareholders of
        $14,014 for the period from January 1, 1998 to December 7, 1998. On
        December 7, 1998, United Dominion issued 8,000,000 shares of 7.5%
        Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) for an aggregate stated
        value of $200 million to AAC II, Inc. in exchange for their 79.1%
