                               SCHEDULE 13D/A


        This statement relates to the common shares of beneficial interest, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Shares") of the Brandywine Realty Trust
("BRT").  This statement constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (the
"Schedule 13D") dated November 22, 1996 filed by each of (i) RAI Real Estate
Advisers, Inc. ("RAI"), as voting trustee of a voting trust executed by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Employes' Retirement System ("SERS") as
shareholder and RAI as voting trustee dated as of November 6, 1996 (the "Voting
Trust"); and (ii) SERS.

        All references in this statement to share amounts give effect to BRT's
one-for-three share split on December 2, 1996.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:

        Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated November 6, 1996, by and
among, inter alia, BRT and RAI, as voting trustee of the Voting Trust (the
"Contribution Agreement") in consideration for (i) the transfer to BRT of three
properties owned by subsidiaries of SERS and (ii) the deposit by SERS of $1.4
million into an escrow account to be used for tenant improvements, leasing
commissions and capital expenditures for the three transferred properties, BRT
issued to the Voting Trust (x) 481,818 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares,
par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Shares") and (y) an immediately
exercisable two-year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 133,333 Common Shares
at $25.50 per share.  Pursuant to the amendment to BRT's Declaration of Trust
which authorized the Preferred Shares, each Preferred Share is convertible into
three and one-third Common Shares, subject to certain conversion limitations
and adjustments under certain circumstances.  BRT also agreed to make deferred
payments aggregating $3.8 million which, at the option of BRT, may be in cash
or in Common Shares.

        In addition to the Contribution Agreement, pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") dated November 6, 1996
between BRT and RAI, as voting trustee of the Voting Trust, on December 2, 1996
RAI, as voting trustee, purchased 636,363 Common Shares for $10.5 million.

        SERS, through investment advisors, also purchased an aggregate of
50,500 Common Shares for an aggregate of $843,750 in open market transactions.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:

        RAI may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 
951,021 Common Shares and SERS may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an
aggregate of 1,001,521 Common Shares.  Based upon the 911,185 Common Shares
outstanding as of October 31, 1996 as reported in BRT's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,  and treating as
outstanding (i) the 4,000,000 Common Shares issued by BRT in an underwritten
public offering on December 2, 1996, (ii) the 181,326 Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of  a portion of the Preferred Shares (based upon the
limitations described in the paragraph below), and (iii) the 133,333 Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, RAI may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 14.5% of the Common Shares and SERS may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 15.2% of the Common Shares.

        Each Preferred Share is convertible into three and one-third Common
Shares, subject to certain adjustments.  However, the Preferred Shares may only
be converted into Common Shares to the extent that the amount of Common Shares
issuable upon conversion when added to the Common Shares issued to RAI, as
voting trustee of the Voting Trust, pursuant to certain prior transactions, do
not exceed 19.9% of BRT's outstanding Common Shares as of October 31, 1996. 
The balance of the Preferred Shares may be converted (and upon notice from BRT
must be converted) upon approval (the "Shareholder Approval") of the holders of
BRT's Common Shares of unlimited conversion of Preferred Shares.

        The Preferred Shares generally vote together with the Common Shares on
an as-converted basis and are generally entitled to an amount of dividends
equal to the dividends that would be payable with respect to the Common Shares
issuable upon conversion thereof (the "Conversion Shares").  If, however,
Shareholder Approval has not been received by June 30, 1997, the amount of
dividends payable to the holders of Preferred Shares that are paid on or after
July 1, 1997 and prior to the Shareholder Approval shall be an amount equal to
120% of the dividends or distributions that would be payable with respect to
the Conversion Shares.

        At any time after July 1, 1998, if the Shareholder approval has not
been obtained, the holder of Preferred Shares may require BRT to redeem or any
portion of the Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to the greater of
(i) the product of $16.50 (plus 8% interest on such amount) less the amount of 
distributions multiplied by the number of Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of each Preferred Share or (ii) the product of the current market
price of a Preferred Share multiplied by the number of Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of each Preferred Share.

        No executive officer, director or controlling person of RAI or SERS
beneficially owns any Common Shares.
