Board of Directors
CarrAmerica Realty Corporation
1850 K Street, N.W., Suite 500
Washington, D.C. 20006

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We are acting as counsel to CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its registration
statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission relating to an additional 7,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), issuable in connection with the
Company's 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). This
opinion letter is furnished to at your request to enable you to fulfill the
requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. ss. 229.601(b)(5),
in connection with the Registration Statement.

                  For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies
of the following documents:

                  1. An executed copy of the Registration Statement.

                  2. A copy of the Plan, as certified on the date hereof by an
                     Assistant Secretary of the Company as being complete,
                     accurate and in effect.

                  3. The charter of the Company, as certified by the State
                     Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of
                     Maryland on March 11, 1999 and by an Assistant Secretary of
                     the Company on the date hereof as being complete, accurate
                     and in effect.

                  4. The bylaws of the Company, as certified by an Assistant
                     Secretary of the Company on the date hereof as being
                     complete, accurate and in effect.

                  5. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company
                     adopted on August 5, 1999, as certified by an Assistant
                     Secretary of the Company on the date hereof as being
                     complete, accurate and in effect, relating to the issuance
                     and sale of the Shares and arrangements in connection
                     therewith.

                  In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons,
the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity
of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of
all documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). We also have
assumed that the Shares will not be issued in violation of the ownership limit
contained in the Company's charter. This opinion letter is given, and all
statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

                  This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on
Maryland corporate law. We express no opinion herein as to any other laws,
statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.
<PAGE>

                  Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of
the opinion that following (i) effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (ii)
issuance of the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the
Registration Statement and the Plan, and (iii) receipt by the Company of the
consideration for the Shares (the form of which is in accordance with applicable
law), the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                  This opinion letter has been prepared for your use in
connection with the Registration Statement and speaks as of the date hereof. We
assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to
the delivery of this opinion letter.

                  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as
Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not
thereby admit that we are an "expert" within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

                                            Very truly yours,
