                          SCHEDULE 13D/A


     This statement relates to the common shares of beneficial
interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares") of the
Brandywine Realty Trust ("BRT").  This statement constitutes
Amendment No. 2 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 $0.01 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 Preferred Shares and the Warrant obtained
pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, RAI, as voting trustee,
purchased, on December 2, 1996, 636,363 Common Shares for $10.5
million 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. 

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

<PAGE>

      On March 19, 1997, RAI, as voting trustee of the Voting
Trust, converted 54,397 of the Preferred Shares, receiving in
therefore 181,323 Common Shares and a cash payment of $6.96 in
lieu of one-third of a Common Share.

      On June 16, 1997, RAI, as voting trustee of the Voting
Trust, converted the remaining 427,421 Preferred Shares,
receiving in therefore 1,424,736 Common Shares and a cash payment
of $13.59 in lieu of two-thirds of a Common Share.

      On September 16, RAI, as voting trustee of the Voting
Trust, sold 400,000 Common Shares in an open-market transaction,
at $22.25 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $8.9
million.

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  1,975,755 Common Shares and SERS may be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 2,026,255 Common
Shares.  Based upon the 23,336,046 Common Shares outstanding as
of September 11, 1997 as reported in BRT's Prospectus Supplement
(File No. 333-20991), dated September 11, 1997, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and treating as
outstanding the 133,333 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant, RAI may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8.5%
of the Common Shares and SERS may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of 8.7% of the Common Shares.

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