                   This Amendment No. 2 is filed by Security Capital
         U.S. Realty ("Security Capital U.S. Realty"), a corporation
         organized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and by
         Security Capital Holdings S.A. ("Holdings"), a corporation or-
         ganized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg and a wholly
         owned subsidiary of Security Capital U.S. Realty (together with
         Security Capital U.S. Realty, "USRealty"), and hereby amends
         the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed on No-
         vember 14, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No.
         1 to the Schedule 13D") filed on May 7, 1996.  This Amendment
         No. 2 relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
         share ("Common Stock"), of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, a
         Maryland corporation formerly named Carr Realty Corporation
         ("Carr").  Capitalized terms used herein without definition
         shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D,
         as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.

                   On July 19, 1996, Carr filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement as part
         of a registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the
         issuance of 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten
         public offering (the "Offering").  Pursuant to its rights as
         set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of April 30,
         1996, by and among Carr, Carr Realty, L.P., Holdings and Secu-
         rity Capital U.S. Realty (the "Stockholders Agreement"), if
         Carr consummates the Offering, USRealty will have the right to
         purchase 2,785,714 shares of Common Stock, or, if less, that
         number (the "Reduced Number") of shares of Common Stock which
         is equal to thirty percent (30%) of the sum of the number of
         shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (excluding any
         shares sold as a result of the exercise of the underwriters'
         over-allotment option in connection with the Offering) and the
         Reduced Number.  Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated as
         of July 18, 1996, by and among Carr, Holdings and Security
         Capital U.S. Realty (the "Subscription Agreement"), USRealty
         has agreed to purchase 2,785,714 shares of Common Stock, or, if
         less, the Reduced Number, subject to the terms and conditions
         thereof, directly from Carr at the public offering price simul-
         taneously with and contingent upon the closing of the Offering.
         In addition, USRealty has placed an order to purchase up to an
         additional 400,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering at
         the public offering price (which, combined with the direct pur-
         chase from Carr, would result in an additional total investment
         by USRealty in Carr of up to approximately $70.1 million, assum-
         ing a public offering price of $22.00).  If USRealty makes both
         of the foregoing purchases, the effect of such purchases would
         be that USRealty would own an approximate 37.9% ownership inter-
         est in Carr (on a fully-diluted basis).  It is not expected
         that any underwriting discounts will be applied to any shares
         of Common Stock purchased by USRealty directly from Carr or in

         the Offering.  There can be no assurance that the Offering and
         the related purchases of Common Stock by USRealty will be con-
         summated.  

                   In addition to the purchase of Common Stock in con-
         nection with the Offering as described above, USRealty intends
         to review on a continuing basis its investment in Carr and may
         increase such investment to up to 45% of the capital stock of
         Carr, as permitted by Carr's Articles of Incorporation.  Such
         increase in USRealty's investment in Carr could be accomplished
         by USRealty's acquisition of securities of Carr in the open
         market or otherwise.  The extent of any such increase would
         depend upon the price and availability of Carr's securities,
         subsequent developments affecting Carr, Carr's business and
         prospects, other investment and business opportunities avail-
         able to USRealty, general stock market and economic conditions,
         tax considerations, and other factors, including the obtaining
         of any necessary regulatory approvals.  In addition, USRealty
         may decide to decrease its investment in Carr, depending upon
         its continuing review of such investment and various other fac-
         tors, including those mentioned above.

                   The funds for the purchase by USRealty of shares of
         Common Stock in connection with the Offering as described above
         will be obtained by USRealty, in whole or in part, from cash on
         hand and may also be obtained by USRealty, in part, from draw
         downs under USRealty's $200,000,000 revolving credit facility
         pursuant to a Facility Agreement (the "Facility Agreement"),
         dated June 12, 1996, by and among Security Capital U.S. Realty,
         Holdings, Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, as arranger and col-
         lateral agent, Commerzbank International S.A., as administra-
         tive agent and the financial institutions listed in Schedule 1
         thereto.

                   A copy of the Stockholders Agreement is attached to

         respectively, and each such agreement is specifically incorpo-
         rated herein by reference, and the description herein of each

                   As of July 18, 1996, USRealty may be deemed to ben-
         eficially own up to 14,813,621 shares of Common Stock because
         of USRealty's purchase of 11,627,907 shares of Common Stock on
         April 30, 1996, because of USRealty's right to acquire up to
         2,785,714 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription
         Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (which
         conditions include the consummation of the Offering), and be-
         cause of USRealty's order to purchase 400,000 shares of Common
         Stock in the Offering.  If USRealty acquires all 2,785,714
         shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement
         and all 400,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering, USRe-
         alty will own approximately 43%* of the outstanding Common
         Stock, and approximately 37.9%* on a fully diluted basis, based
         on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the
         number of outstanding limited partnership units that are re-
         deemable for Common Stock or the cash equivalent thereof.  


         _____________________
         *  In accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement,
         USRealty will not be entitled to purchase any shares of Common
         Stock pursuant thereto unless the shares of Common Stock to be
         issued in the Offering are also issued and sold (subject to pro
         rata reduction in the event fewer than the expected number of
         shares are issued and sold in the Offering).  Percentage owner-
         ship figures reported are predicated on USRealty's purchase of
         2,785,714 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription
         Agreement and 400,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering,
         and the simultaneous completion of the Offering and sale of
         6,500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto.

             1.1.  Subscription for Company Common Stock

                   (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
         Subscriber hereby subscribes (the "Subscription") to purchase
         that number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Private
         Shares") equal to the lesser of (i) 3,600,000 shares of Company
         Common Stock, or (ii) that number (the "Reduced Number") of
         shares of Company Common Stock which is equal to thirty percent
         (30%) of the sum of the number of Public Shares sold in the
         Public Offering (excluding any Public Shares sold as a result
         of the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in
         connection with the Public Offering) and the Reduced Number.

                   (b)  Investor hereby agrees that the Subscription
         represents the complete and exclusive exercise of its
         Participation Rights with regard to the Public Offering,
         provided that the number of Public Shares to be sold in the
         Public Offering does not exceed 8,400,000 (excluding any Public
         Shares sold as a result of the exercise of the underwriters'
         over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering).
         The Company reserves the right to terminate the Public Offering
         for any reason or for no reason, to sell less than all of the
         Public Shares in the Public Offering or to increase the number
         of Public Shares sold in the Public Offering.

             1.2.  Acceptance of Subscription

                   The per share purchase price (the "Per Share Purchase

         share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in the
         Public Offering.  The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase
         Price") shall be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price
         multiplied by the number of Private Shares.  The Company
         reserves the right to establish the per share public offering
         price of the Public Shares in the Public Offering, and nothing
         in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Subscriber or any
         Investor any right to participate in the establishment of the
         per share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in
         the Public Offering.

         tax return for the tax year ended on December 31, 1995, and in
         its federal income tax return for the tax year that will end on
         December 31, 1996, to elect to be taxed as a REIT within the
         meaning of Section 856 of the Code, and has complied (or will
         comply) with all applicable provisions of the Code relating to
         a REIT for 1996, (ii) has operated, and intends to continue to
         operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT for 1996,
         (iii) has not taken or omitted to take any action which would
         reasonably be expected to result in a challenge to its status
         as a REIT, and, to the Company's knowledge, no such challenge
         is pending or threatened, and (iv) to the Company's knowledge,
         and assuming the accuracy of Subscriber's representation in
         Section 3.7, will not be rendered unable to qualify as a REIT

         elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for
         calendar years 1993 and 1994.  Each Partnership and each
         subsidiary of the Company organized as a partnership (and any
         other subsidiary of the Company that files tax returns as a
         partnership for federal income tax purposes) was and continues
         to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax
         purposes.

                   (c)  For purposes of this Section 2.7, no
         representation set forth in Section 2.7 shall be deemed to be
         untrue unless such untruths would, individually or in the
         aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material
         Adverse Effect.

         Subsidiaries is in default under or in violation of any
         provision of the Company Charter or the By-laws of the Company
         or the Partnership Agreement (or equivalent documents), except
         for such defaults or violations which would not, individually
         or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a
         Material Adverse Effect.

             2.9.  Maryland Takeover Law

         of the Securities Act.  The Company will rely in part upon the
         representations and warranties made by Subscriber and the
         Advancing Party in this Agreement in making the determination
         that the offer and issuance of the Private Shares qualifies for

         Prospectus, and all such questions have been answered and all
         such information has been provided to the full satisfaction of
         each of Subscriber and the Advancing Party.  No oral or written
         representations have been made to either Subscriber or the
         Advancing Party in connection with the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement which are in any

         way inconsistent with the information contained in the Company

         or any electronic media or presented at any seminar or meeting,
         or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not
         previously known to Subscriber in connection with investments
         in real estate generally.

                   (c)  Each of Subscriber and the Advancing Party has
         the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of

         risk of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and can

         with the business that is conducted and is intended to be
         conducted by the Company, has sufficient knowledge and
         experience in financial and business matters to enable it to
         utilize the information made available to Subscriber and the
         Advancing Party in connection with the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement in order to evaluate the merits
         and risks of an investment in the Private Shares and to make an
         informed investment decision with respect thereto.

                   (e)  Subscriber is acquiring the Private Shares
         solely for its own account for investment purposes only and not
         with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
         thereof, and Subscriber has no present intention or plan to
         effect any distribution of any of the Private Shares, provided
         that the disposition of the Private Shares owned by Subscriber
         shall at all times be and remain within its control, subject to
         the provisions of this Agreement and that certain Registration
         Rights Agreement, dated April 30, 1996, by and among the
         Company, the Advancing Party and Subscriber.

             3.5.  Source of Funds

                   At the Closing, the Advancing Party shall have
         available and shall advance to Subscriber all of the funds
         necessary to satisfy Subscriber's obligations hereunder and to
         pay any related fees and expenses in connection with the
         foregoing.

         person, including any of the foregoing that is an Affiliate of

         any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar
         fee from Subscriber or the Advancing Party in connection with

             3.7.  REIT Qualification Matters

                   To Subscriber's knowledge, no person which would be
         treated as an "individual" for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of
         the Code (as modified by Section 856(h) of the Code) owns or
         would be considered to own (taking into account the ownership
         attribution rules under Section 544 of the Code, as modified by
         Section 856(h) of the Code) in excess of 9.8% of the value of
         the outstanding equity interest in Subscriber or the Advancing
         Party.

             3.8.  Investment Company Matters

         after giving effect to the Purchase of the Private Shares,
         neither will be, an "investment company" or an entity
         "controlled" by an "investment company," as such terms are
         defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         Offering as set forth in the underwriting agreements between
         the Company and the underwriters for the Public Offering, other

         and the Company shall have delivered to Subscriber at the
         Closing a certificate of an appropriate officer in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to Subscriber dated the date
         of the Closing to such effect.

         Company contained herein shall have been true and correct in
         all respects on and as of the date hereof, and shall be true
         and correct in all respects on and as of the Closing with the
         same effect as though such representations and warranties had
         been made on and as of the date of the Closing (except for
         representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date
         or time other than the date of the Closing (which need only be
         true and correct in all respects as of such date or time)),
         other than, in all such cases, such failures to be true and/or
         correct as would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that if any
         of the representations and warranties is already qualified in
         any respect by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect for
         purposes of this Section 4.1(b) such materiality or Material
         Adverse Effect qualification will be in all respects ignored
         (but subject to


                                       -11-<PAGE>





         the overall standard as to Material Adverse Effect set forth
         immediately prior to this proviso).  The Company shall have
         delivered to Subscriber at the Closing a certificate of an
         appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably
         satisfactory to Subscriber dated the date of the Closing to
         such effect.

                   In making any determination as to Material Adverse
         Effect under this Section 4.1(b), the matters set forth in each
         such Section shall be aggregated and considered together.

                   (c)  There shall not be in effect any order, decree
         or injunction of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction
         which enjoins or prohibits consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby and there shall be no pending Actions which
         would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
         on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions
         contemplated hereby or to issue the Private Shares.

                   (d)  The Company shall not have taken any action or
         have failed to take any action which would reasonably be
         expected to, alone or in conjunction with any other factors,
         result in the loss of its status as a REIT for federal income
         tax purposes.

             4.2.  Conditions to Obligations of the Company

         Offering as set forth in the underwriting agreement between the
         Company and the underwriters for the Public Offering, other
         than conditions relating to the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement (if any), shall have been satisfied or waived.

                   (b)  The representations and warranties of Subscriber
         and the Advancing Party contained herein shall have been true
         and correct in all respects on and as of the date hereof, and
         shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the
         Closing with the same effect as though such representations and
         warranties had been made on and as of the date of the Closing
         (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
         specific date or time other than the date of the Closing (which
         need only be true and correct in all respects as of such date
         or time)), other than, in all such cases, such failures to be

         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Subscriber shall
         have delivered to the Company at the Closing a certificate of

         5.  SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

         or indemnification agreements contained herein, shall survive
         the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing.  No
         Action or proceeding may be brought with respect to any of the

         covenant or agreement, shall have been delivered to the party
         alleged to have breached such representation or warranty or
         such covenant or agreement prior to the first anniversary of
         the Closing.  Those covenants or agreements that contemplate or
         may involve actions to be taken or obligations in effect after
         the Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms.

             5.2.  Indemnification by Subscriber or the Company

                   (a)  Subject to Section 5.1, from and after the

         Company, its successors and assigns, from and against any and
         all Loss and Expenses suffered, directly or indirectly, by the
         Company by reason of, or arising out of, (i) any breach as of
         the date made or deemed made or required to be true of any
         representation or warranty made by Subscriber in or pursuant to
         this Agreement, or (ii) any failure by Subscriber to perform or
         fulfill any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein.
         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
         contrary, in no event shall Loss and Expenses include a party's
         incidental or consequential damages.

                   (b)  Subject to Section 5.1, from and after the
         Closing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
         Subscriber, its successors and assigns, from and against any
         and all Loss and Expenses, suffered, directly or indirectly, by
         Subscriber by reason of, or arising out of, any breach as of
         the date made or deemed made or required to be true of any
         representation or warranty made by the Company in or pursuant
         to this Agreement and any statements made in any certificate
         delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any failure by
         the Company to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or
         agreements set forth herein. 


                                       -13-<PAGE>





         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
         contrary, in no event shall Loss and Expenses include a party's
         incidental or consequential damages.

                   (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither
         Subscriber nor the Company shall be responsible for any Loss
         and Expenses as provided by paragraphs (a) and (b),
         respectively, of this Section 5.2, until the cumulative
         aggregate amount of such Loss and Expenses suffered by
         Subscriber or the Company, as the case may be, exceeds
         $500,000, in which case Subscriber or the Company, as the case
         may be, shall then be liable for all such Loss and Expenses,
         and (ii) the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligation of each
         of Subscriber and the Company under this Section 5.2 shall in
         no event exceed the Purchase Price.  Except with respect to
         third-party claims being defended in good faith or claims for
         indemnification with respect to which there exists a good faith
         dispute, the indemnifying party shall satisfy its obligations
         hereunder within 30 days of receipt of a notice of claim under
         this Section 5.

             5.3.  Third-Party Claims

                   If a claim by a third party is made against
         Subscriber or the Advancing Party or the Company (each, an
         "Indemnified Party") and if such Indemnified Party intends to
         seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 5, such
         Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party
         in writing of such claims setting forth such claims in
         reasonable detail.  The indemnifying party shall have 20 days
         after receipt of such notice to undertake, through counsel of
         its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or
         defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
         it in connection therewith; provided, however, that the
         Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense
         through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that
         the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such
         Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall not pay or
         settle any claim which the indemnifying party is contesting.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have
         the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in
         such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by
         the indemnifying party.  If the indemnifying party does not
         notify the Indemnified Party within 20 days after the receipt
         of the Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity
         hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the
         Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or
         compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to
         indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

              6.5.  Successors and Assigns

                    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
         the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
         successors.  Neither Subscriber nor the Advancing Party shall
         be permitted to assign any of its rights hereunder to any third
         party; provided, however, that Subscriber and the Advancing
         Party may assign all (but not less than all) of their rights
         hereunder to any other Investor so long as such other Investor
         agrees in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
         Company, to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement.

              6.6.  Headings

                    The Section and other headings contained in this
         Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and
         shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
         Agreement.

              6.7.  Amendments and Waivers

                    This Agreement may not be modified or amended except
         by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party
         against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment
         is sought.  Any party hereto




                                       -16-<PAGE>





         may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the
         other parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the
         part of such other party hereto to be performed or complied
         with.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term
         or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any
         subsequent breach.

              6.8.  Expenses

                    Except as set forth in this Agreement, whether or
         not the Closing is consummated, all legal and other costs and
         expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
         transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party
         incurring such costs and expenses.

              6.9.  Severability

                    Any provision hereof which is invalid or
         unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
         invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting in any way
         the remaining provisions hereof.

               6.10.  Further Assurances

                      The Company, Subscriber and the Advancing Party
         agree that, from time to time, whether before, at or after the
         Closing, each of them will execute and deliver such further
         instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other
         action as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and
         intents hereof.

               6.11.  Joint and Several Liability; Guaranty

                      The obligations and liability of Subscriber and
         the Advancing Party under or in connection with this Agreement
         are joint and several.  The Advancing Party hereby
         unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees and agrees to be
         responsible for the payment and performance of all of
         Subscriber's obligations hereunder.
