Item 5.    Other Events
- -----------------------

   On January 30, 1997, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. ("the
Company"), the general partner of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. ("the
Operating Partnership"), announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan
for the issuance of at least 2.7 million shares of Common Stock of the Company
("the Offering"). The Board also approved the acquisition, through the Operating
Partnership, of two luxury, high-rise properties for approximately $113 million,
primarily through the issuance of equity in the form of limited partnership
units of the Operating Partnership and the assumption of debt. The two
properties, Crystal Plaza and Crystal Towers, comprise 1,452 apartment units and
are located in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia. The Company intends to use the
net proceeds from the Offering to purchase additional Operating Partnership
Units thereby increasing its ownership interest from approximately 45% at
December 31, 1996 to approximately 52% subsequent to the Offering. The Operating
Partnership, in turn, will use the net proceeds to repay certain indebtedness
that will be assumed in connection with the acquisitions and other acquisition
costs in connection therewith, to repay a portion of the outstanding
indebtedness under certain of the Operating Partnership's lines of credit and
for general corporate purposes.

   The Operating Partnership has executed agreements to acquire the properties.
The agreements are subject to the consent of partners of the partnerships that
own the properties, including Robert H. Smith, a general and limited partner of
both partnerships, and Robert P. Kogod, a limited partner of both partnerships.
Messrs. Smith and Kogod are Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs of the Company. These
acquisitions will consolidate the ownership by the Operating Partnership of all
of the Smith-developed multifamily communities in Crystal City and will increase
by 64.4% the number of apartment units that the Operating Partnership owns in
Crystal City, Virginia.

   The Operating Partnership has also executed agreements for the acquisition of
The Kenmore, a 376-unit property in northwest Washington, D.C, for approximately
$16.3 million, and the acquisition for approximately $9.5 million of 17 acres of
land for the development of an estimated 630-unit apartment community in
Springfield, Virginia. Acquisition of The Kenmore is subject to a waiver by the
tenants of their right to purchase the property. Acquisition of the Springfield
development site is subject to finalization of proffer agreements with
government agencies.

                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P.
                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                                        
          Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership")
was organized in Delaware in 1993. The Operating Partnership had no operations
prior to the completion of the business combination which occurred on June 30,
1994. Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland
Corporation, was formed in June 1993 with the intent of qualifying as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. In connection with the business combination, the Company, on June 30,
1994, raised equity through an initial public offering and a private placement,
and issued debt in a series of concurrent private financing transactions. The
proceeds were used to acquire the 1.0% sole general partnership and a 41.7%
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership is the successor entity to CES Group (the "Predecessor").
Simultaneous with the initial public offering and private placement, the
entities that owned the properties and the related service businesses included
in the CES Group transferred the properties and related service businesses to
the Operating Partnership (or corporations in which the Operating Partnership
owns substantially all of the equity) and received in exchange, directly or
indirectly, units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership. Assets
and liabilities related to interests contributed by the Predecessor Partners
have been recorded at their predecessor cost. The Company, through the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries, is engaged in the ownership, operation,
management, leasing, acquisition and development of real estate properties,
primarily residential multifamily properties.

          On January 29, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan
to proceed with a follow-on equity offering of approximately $78 million through
the proposed issuance of at least 2.7 million shares of Common Stock of the
Company ("the Offering"). The pro forma consolidated financial information
assumes that the Underwriters' option for an additional 405,000 shares to cover
over-allotments will not be exercised. The Board also approved the acquisition,
through the Operating Partnership, of two luxury, high-rise properties in
Crystal City, Virginia, primarily through the issuance of equity in the form of
Operating Partnership Units and assumption of debt. Net proceeds of the Offering
will be used by the Company to purchase additional Operating Partnership Units
thereby increasing its ownership interest in the Operating Partnership from
approximately 45% at December 31, 1995 to 52% subsequent to the Offering. The
Operating Partnership, in turn, will use the net proceeds for repayment of
certain indebtedness that will be assumed in the pending acquisitions described
below and other acquisition costs in connection therewith, the repayment of a
portion of the outstanding indebtedness under certain of the Operating 
Partnership's lines of credit and for general corporate purposes.

          . Crystal Plaza. The Operating Partnership has executed an agreement
            --------------
to acquire Crystal Plaza, a 540-unit luxury high-rise property located in
Crystal City, Virginia for a total cost of approximately $43.0 million,
consisting of Operating Partnership Units with a value of $8.9 million (subject
to adjustment under certain circumstances), the assumption of $33.0 million of
debt, other acquisition costs and a fair value adjustment to debt. The property
is currently subject to a 5.1% net profits interest in favor of an unaffiliated
third party. The Operating Partnership has reached an agreement in principle to
acquire such net profits interest in exchange for Operating Partnership Units
with a value of $0.5 million. In the first year after acquisition, the Operating
Partnership expects to realize an unleveraged yield on capitalized costs of
9.15% after estimated recurring capital expenditures. Messrs. Smith and Kogod
and family have a 17.19% interest in the partnership that owns Crystal Plaza.
The average monthly revenue per apartment unit for Crystal Plaza was $1,105 in
1995 and $1,167 in 1996 and its average occupancy (calculated beginning on the
rent commencement date) was 98.8% in 1995 and 98.7% in 1996. Crystal Plaza was
developed and managed by the CES Group, the predecessor to the Operating
Partnership, with the same quality standards as the properties in the Operating
Partnership's portfolio.

          . Crystal Towers. The Operating Partnership has executed agreements
            ---------------
to acquire Crystal Towers, a 912-unit luxury-rise property located in Crystal
City, Virginia for a total cost of approximately $69.7 million, including
consideration of Operating Partnership Units valued at $24.1 million (subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances), the assumption of $46.0 million of
debt, approximately $1.6 million in cash and certain acquisition costs, reduced
by a fair value adjustment to debt and the transfer of cash reserves. In the
first year after acquisition, the Operating Partnership expects to realize an
unleveraged yield on capitalized costs of 9.19% after estimated recurring
capital expenditures. The average monthly revenue per apartment unit for Crystal
Towers was $1,002 in 1995 and $1,047 in 1996 and its average occupancy was 97.7%
in 1995 and 97.6% in 1996. Crystal Towers was developed and managed by the CES
Group, with the same quality standards as the properties in the Operating
Partnership's portfolio. Messrs. Smith and Kogod and family have a 4.86%
ownership interest in the partnership that has a 93% ownership interest in
Crystal Towers, and the cash purchase of the remaining 7% of the property will
be made pursuant to purchase rights assigned (at no cost to the Operating
Partnership) from a partnership controlled by Messrs. Smith and Kogod.

          . The Kenmore. The Operating Partnership has also executed an
            ------------
agreement to acquire The Kenmore, a 376-unit property located on Connecticut
Avenue in northwest Washington, D.C., for a total cost of approximately $16.3
million (subject to adjustment for changes in the market value of Operating
Partnership Units), at an unleveraged yield after estimated recurring capital
expenditures of 9.03%. Completion of this acquisition is subject to a waiver by
the tenants of their right to purchase the property. The Kenmore will be
acquired for a combination of equity in the form of Operating Partnership Units
and the assumption of debt. The Kenmore acquisition will increase the percentage
of the Operating Partnership's multifamily residential portfolio in northwest
Washington, D.C. to 16.7%.


          . Springfield, Virginia development site. ("Springfield Land") The
            ----------------------------------------                         
Operating Partnership has executed a contract to purchase for $9.5 million
approximately 17 acres of land for the development of a 630-unit multi-phase low
and mid-rise apartment community in Springfield, Virginia. The site is
strategically located adjacent to a new Metrorail and commuter rail station and
a regional shopping mall, and offers access to the I-495 Capital Beltway and I-
395, a major route into Washington, D.C. Budgeted costs for this project are
expected to be approximately $59.1 million and construction is scheduled to
commence early in the summer of 1997, as soon as proffer agreements are
concluded with government agencies.

          Since January 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership, has acquired the
following Properties ("the 1996 Acquisitions"):

          . Van Ness South. On July 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired
            ---------------
this 625 apartment unit property located in northwest Washington, D.C. for $41.8
million. The cash acquisition was funded with proceeds from the Operating 
Partnership's line of credit.

          . 1841 Columbia Road. On August 2, 1996, the Operating Partnership

Washington, D.C. in exchange for 79,600 Operating Partnership Units valued at
$2.0 million, together with the assumption of $3.3 million of existing mortgage
debt. The mortgage debt is due on August 1, 1999 and bears interest at 9% per
year. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $5.3 million.

          . Charter Oak. On March 15, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired
            ------------

cash payment of $13.7 million. The cash acquisition was funded with proceeds
from the Operating Partnership's line of credit. The total value of the
acquisition was approximately $14.2 million.

          . Governor Spotswood. On March 14, 1996, the Operating Partnership

          The following sets forth the Pro Forma (unaudited) Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996, the Pro Forma (unaudited) Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and the
Pro Forma (unaudited) Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P.  The
unaudited pro forma information is based on the financial statements of the
Operating Partnership and should be read in conjunction with the 1995 historical
financial statements and

                                      F-4


<PAGE>
 
notes related thereto appearing in the Operating Partnership's Form 10-K, as
amended.

          The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is
presented as if the Offering (including the assets to be acquired) and the 1996
Acquisitions all had occurred by September 30, 1996 for the Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet and at the beginning of the period for the Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, and the year ended December 31, 1995.

          The pro forma consolidated financial information is unaudited and is
not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if
the Offering (including the assets to be acquired) and the 1996 Acquisitions had
been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport
to represent the future financial position and results of operations for future
periods. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.

ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 are based
on the historical financial statements of the Operating Partnership and its
subsidiary financing partnerships.

          The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 are
presented as if the Offering (including the assets to be acquired) and the 1996
Acquisitions all had occurred as of January 1, 1996 and January 1, 1995,
respectively. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September
30, 1996 is presented as if the Offering (including the assets to be acquired)
had occurred by September 30, 1996. The assets to be acquired include Crystal
Plaza, Crystal Towers, The Kenmore and 17 acres of land for development located
in Springfield, Virginia. The unaudited pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes related thereto
appearing in the Operating Partnership's 1995 Form 10-K, as amended.

          Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on
assumptions considered appropriate by the Operating Partnership's management.
The pro forma financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily
indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the Offering
(including the assets to be acquired) and the 1996 Acquisitions had been
consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to
represent the future financial position and results of operations for future
periods. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.

3. Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   A.   During 1996 the Operating Partnership acquired Van Ness, 1841 Columbia
        Road, Charter Oak and Governor Spotswood. The adjustments reflect the
        operations of the four acquisitions as if the purchases occurred on
        January 1, 1996 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and January
        1, 1995 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Depreciation and
        amortization has been adjusted based on the allocated purchase price of
        the assets acquired and an estimated useful life of 40 years. Interest
        expense has been adjusted based on the additional financing incurred as
        a result of the acquisitions, using a weighted average borrowing rate of
        7.3% and 7.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the year
        ended December 31, 1995, respectively.

To Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses of
Crystal Plaza (the "Property") for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
These statements are the responsibility of the Property's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty L.P. Material amounts, described in Note 1 to the statements
of revenue and certain expenses, that would not be comparable to those resulting
from the proposed future operations of the Property are excluded and the
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and
expenses of this property.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Crystal Plaza for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting

             NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

         ------------------------------------------------------------


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
   --------------------- 

   The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses relate to the
   operations of Crystal Plaza apartments (the "Property") which is owned by
   Plaza Associates Limited Partnership ("Plaza").  The Property consists of two
   apartment buildings containing 540 residential units, located in Arlington,
   Virginia. The Property is to be acquired by Charles E. Smith Residential
   Realty L.P.  (the "Operating Partnership").

   The accompanying statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying
   with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
   and thus, exclude certain expenses, such as interest expense, depreciation
   and amortization, certain professional fees and other costs not related to
   the future operations of the Property.  Management is not aware of any
   material factors relating to the Property which would cause the reported
   financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

   Significant Accounting Policies
   -------------------------------

   The accompanying statements were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
   Rental income attributable to residential leases is recognized when due from
   tenants.  The Property requires tenants to initially execute a one-year
   lease.  At the expiration of the lease term, the lease converts to a month-
   to-month basis.

   Interim Financial Information
   -----------------------------

   The interim statements of revenues and certain expenses are unaudited but
   reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
   a fair presentation of the interim periods presented.  The adjustments
   consist of normal, recurring adjustments.

   The statements of revenues and certain expenses for interim periods will not
   necessarily be indicative of the operating results of the fiscal year.


2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
   -------------------------- 

   Smith Realty Company, an operating subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, 
   provided management services to the Property. Management fees, computed based
   on a percentage of rents collected, were paid to Smith Realty Company for
   management

   services. Prior to June 30, 1994, these services were provided by Charles E.

   Expenses of the Property also include payments to Consolidated Engineering
   Services, an operating subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, related to 
   engineering, repair and maintenance services. Prior to June 30, 1994, these
   services were provided by Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc., an
   affiliated entity, and Charles E. Smith Service Company, Inc., an affiliated
   entity.

   The Property paid environmental computer service fees to an affiliate.

   operations of Crystal Towers apartments ( the "Property") which is owned by
   Tower Associates Limited Partnership ("Tower").  The Property consists of two
   apartment buildings containing 912 residential units and 9 retail units,
   located in Arlington, Virginia.  The Property is to be acquired by Charles E.
   Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").

   The accompanying statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying
   with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
   and thus, exclude certain expenses, such as interest expense, depreciation
   and amortization, certain professional fees and other costs not related to
   the future operations of the Property.  Management is not aware of any
   material factors relating to the Property which would cause the reported
   financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

   Significant Accounting Policies
   -------------------------------

   The accompanying statements were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
   Rental income attributable to residential leases is recognized when due from
   tenants.  The Property requires tenants to initially execute a one-year
   lease.  At the expiration of the lease term, the lease converts to a month-
   to-month basis.

   Interim Financial Information
   -----------------------------

   The interim statements of revenues and certain expenses are unaudited but
   reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
   a fair presentation of the interim periods presented.  The adjustments
   consist of normal, recurring adjustments.

   The statements of revenues and certain expenses for interim periods will not
   necessarily be indicative of the operating results of the fiscal year.

             Charles E. Smith Residential Realty's 1996 FFO Up 10%

       Announces Follow-on Equity Offering to Fund Pending Acquisitions


     ARLINGTON, VA - Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (NYSE: SRW), the 
largest publicly traded multifamily real estate investment trust focused on the 
greater Washington, D.C. region, announced today that Funds From Operations 
(FFO) for 1996 increased 10% over 1995 and that the Company's Board of Directors
approved a follow-on common equity offering, of at least 2.7 million shares, to 
fund two acquisitions presently under contract.

     The Board also approved the acquisition of the properties under contract, 
two luxury high-rise apartment communities, for approximately $113 million. 
These acquisitions will be purchased with a combination of Operating Partnership
Units and the assumption of debt, which will be partially repaid with the 
follow-on offering proceeds. The economic impact from the two acquisitions will 
be immediately accretive to FFO and, along with the equity offering and issuance
of Operating Partnership Units, will lower the Company's overall debt to total 
market capitalization ratio from 46% to approximately 42%. The two properties, 
Crystal Plaza and Crystal Towers, comprise 1,452 apartment units and are located
in Crystal City, Virginia. Underwriters for the offering are Goldman, Sachs & 
Co.; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation; Prudential Securities 
Incorporated; and Legg Mason Wood Walker, Inc.

     The Company's FFO for 1996 was $23.9 million, or $2.41 per share, a 10.0% 
increase over the Company's FFO per share for 1995. For the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996, FFO was $7.1 million, or $0.70 per share, up 11.1% over the 
fourth quarter of 1995. FFO is widely considered to be the most appropriate 
measure of a real estate investment trust's operating performance.


     Ernest A. Gerardi, Jr., President of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty,
Inc., stated that "We are quite pleased with our continued solid growth in 1996,
which exceeded analysts expectations. This performance is the result of a
combination of our acquisition and development programs, together with
operational initiatives that will continue to fuel growth in the years ahead.
The implementation of these initiatives positions us well for 1997 and beyond."


     The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment
trust, or UPREIT. All property ownership and business operations take place in 
an operating partnership and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Company 
currently owns approximately 45% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole 
general partner.

   
     The Operating Partnership's total revenue from rental properties was 
$166.3 million for 1996, an increase of 14.7% over 1995. For the fourth quarter 
of 1996, revenue from rental properties increased 12.0% over the same period 
last year.


     The Operating Partnership's 1996 income from rental properties before
depreciation increased 14.2% from $79.3 million to $90.5 million. Income from
rental properties before depreciation for the fourth quarter of 1996 increased
12.7% to $24.3 million. The Property Service Businesses contributed income
before depreciation of $8.9 million in 1996 and $3.2

million in the fourth quarter of 1996.  For the twelve months ended 
December 31, 1996, the Property Service Businesses provided 8.9% of the 
Operating Partnership's total income before depreciation.

       The Operating Partnership's earnings before interest, taxes, 
depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 12.8% to $97.8 million in 
1996.  For the fourth quarter of 1996, EBITDA increased 10.7% to $27.2 million.

       The Company's net income for 1996 was $11.0 million, or $1.11 per share,
an increase of 37.0% over 1995. Net income for the fourth quarter was $5.0
million, or $0.49 per share, up 40.0% over the fourth quarter of 1995. Net
income in all periods reflect charges for quarterly distributions paid to other
operating partnership unitholders in excess of net income attributed to these
Unitholders, because these unitholders' partnership interests are carried at
zero on the balance sheet. Such charges were $4.8 million in 1996 and $0.1
million for the fourth quarter, and it is important to note that they have no
effect on the Company's FFO.

       The Company will hold a teleconference on Friday, January 31 at 11:00am
EST to review the information reported in this release. To participate, please
call 1-800-759-6338 shortly before 11:00am and identify yourself as a
