         This Amendment No. 28 (this  "Amendment")  is being filed to a Schedule
13D dated  March 1, 1990,  and filed by  Security  Capital  Group  Incorporated,
formerly known as Security Capital Realty  Incorporated,  a Maryland corporation
(as successor to Security  Capital  Realty  Investors  Incorporated)  ("Security
Capital"),  on March 2, 1990, and amended on March 5, 1990, March 8, 1990, March
15, 1990, March 19, 1990, March 26, 1990, February 11, 1991, June 10, 1991, June
20, 1991, October 8, 1991,  November 8, 1991,  December 3, 1991, April 23, 1992,
September  8, 1992,  September  10,  1992,  November 9, 1992,  January 18, 1993,
February 17, 1993,  March 31, 1994, July 12, 1994,  August 24, 1994,  October 7,
1994,  December 6, 1994, March 23, 1995, April 30, 1997,  October 8, 1997, April
3, 1998, and July 7, 1998.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Amendment relates to common shares of beneficial  interest,  $1.00
par value per share (the "Common  Shares"),  of Archstone  Communities  Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company"),  the principal  executive
offices of which are at 7670 South Chester  Street,  Englewood,  Colorado 80112.
The Company was formerly known as Security Capital Pacific Trust.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Except as described  below,  there are no other  changes to report from
the responses previously provided in response to this Item requirement.

         On  April  17,  2000,  Security  Capital  agreed  to  exchange  with an
unaffiliated   person   $42,5000,000   principal   amount  of  6.5%  Convertible
Subordinated   Debentures   due  March  29,  2016  of  Security   Capital   (the
"Debentures")  held by the  unaffiliated  person  for  1,589,776  Common  Shares
held by Security Capital.

         On  April 20, 2000,  the  settlement  date  of  the  exchange, Security
Capital  transferred  1,589,776  Common  Shares  to an unaffiliated  party. As a
result of the exchange,  Security  Capital reduced its ownership  in the Company
from  54,540,283  Common  Shares,  or 39.20% of the outstanding Common  Shares,
to  52,950,507  Common  Shares,  or  38.06% of the outstanding Common Shares.

         The exchange was made in connection  with Security  Capital's  publicly
announced Debenture repurchase program,  under which Security Capital intends to
repurchase up to $60,000,000 of its Debentures. The exchange was proposed by the
other party as a means of disposing of its  Debentures  and because it wanted to
increase its interest in the Company. Security Capital agreed to the transaction
because  it desired  to  repurchase  Debentures  at a price  which met  Security
Capital's repurchase objectives.
<PAGE>
         Security  Capital  intends to maintain  its  position as the  principal
shareholder  of  the Company and intends to continue to play a major role in the
direction of the Company for the purpose of maximizing the value of the Company.

         Except as set forth in this Item 4, Security  Capital  presently has no
plans or  proposals  which  relate to or would  result in any of the actions set
forth in parts (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Security  Capital may
at any time  reconsider  and  change  its  plans or  proposals  relating  to the
foregoing.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a),(b)  The following table sets forth, as  of  April 17, 2000, the  beneficial
ownership   of   Common   Shares  for  each  person  named  in  Item  2.  Unless
otherwise indicated in  the  footnotes,  each such person has sole power to vote
or to direct the vote  and  sole  power to dispose or direct the  disposition of
such Common Shares.
