Item 5. Other Events
On August 15, 1997, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"), a limited partnership of which Brandywine Realty
Trust (the "Company") is the sole general partner, acquired two office
properties located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania ("500 and 501 Office
Center Drive" or the "Properties") containing approximately 211,000 net
rentable square feet. As of August 15, 1997, the Properties were
approximately 97% leased to 45 tenants. Advanta and Aetna Insurance each
individually occupy more than 10% of the total net rentable area of the
Properties.
The purchase price for 500 and 501 Office Center Drive totaled $16.9
million. The Operating Partnership paid the purchase price and closing
expenses using borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.
The seller of 500 and 501 Office Center Drive, Canada Life Assurance
Company (the "Seller"), is a party unaffiliated with the Company and the
Operating Partnership. The Company based its determination of the purchase
price of the Properties on the expected cash flow, physical condition,
location, competitive advantages, existing tenancies and opportunities to
retain and attract additional tenants. The purchase price was determined by
arm's-length negotiation between the Company and the Seller.
