Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On January 31, 1998, Apartment Investment and Management Company 
("AIMCO") entered into a Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution 
Agreement") with the stockholders of CK Services, Inc. ("CK"). The 
Contribution Agreement provides, among other things, that (i) AIMCO will 
contribute certain assets to CK, (ii) the stockholders of CK will contribute 
the stock of CK to AIMCO or a subsidiary of AIMCO, (iii) following the 
contribution of CK stock, AIMCO will agree to contribute additional assets to 
CK with the intent of creating a stand-alone entity meeting the requirements 
for listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ National Market, (iv) if AIMCO is 
successful in listing the CK stock on the NYSE or NASDAQ National Market, the 
stock of CK will be distributed to the stockholders of AIMCO. If AIMCO is 
unable to list the CK stock on the NYSE or NASDAQ National Market, CK will 
remain a direct or indirect subsidiary of AIMCO and AIMCO will pay to the 
former stockholders of CK an amount necessary to compensate the former CK 
stockholders for the value of such stock on January 31, 1998. 

     CK is a corporation wholly-owned by Terry Considine, AIMCO's Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer, and by Peter Kompaniez, AIMCO's President and Vice 
Chairman.  As a result, consummation of the transaction is subject to the 
approval of AIMCO'S independent members of the board of directors and any 
transfer of assets or services to CK will be at market rates and approved by 
the independent directors, and if market rates are difficult to ascertain, 
the pricing will favor AIMCO.

     It is AIMCO's intent to use CK as a vehicle for holding property and 
performing services for which AIMCO is limited or prohibited due to AIMCO's 
election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust. AIMCO is finalizing 
which assets will be contributed to CK and if it is determined that it is 
impossible or impractical to create a stand-alone entity meeting the 
requirements for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ 
National Market, the Contribution Agreement will be terminated and the former 
stockholders of CK will be compensated for their contribution.

                     APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY
                    ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO SPIN OFF CERTAIN ASSETS



DENVER, COLORADO February 3, 1998 (NYSE: AIV)

       Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO") announced
that it has reached agreement with CK Services, Inc. ("CK") and the 
stockholders of CK to cause certain assets of AIMCO to be contributed to CK 
and to distribute all outstanding stock of CK to the stockholders of AIMCO.  
CK is a corporation wholly-owned by Terry Considine, AIMCO's Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer, and by Peter Kompaniez, AIMCO's President and Vice 
Chairman.

       It is AIMCO's intent to use CK as vehicle for holding property and 
performing services that AIMCO is limited or prohibited from holding or 
providing due to AIMCO's election to be taxed as a real estate investment 
trust.  AIMCO is finalizing which assets will be contributed to CK.  Any 
transfer of assets or services to CK will be at market rates and approved by 
the independent members of the Board of Directors, and if market rates are 
difficult to ascertain, the pricing will favor AIMCO.

       AIMCO has entered into a Contribution Agreement pursuant to which 
AIMCO will contribute certain assets to CK and, in return, the stock of CK 
will be contributed to AIMCO or a subsidiary of AIMCO.  Following the 
contribution of CK stock, AIMCO will agree to contribute additional assets to 
CK with the intent of creating a stand-alone entity meeting the requirements 
for listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or NASDAQ National 
Market, and if AIMCO is successful in listing the CK stock on the NYSE or 
NASDAQ National Market, the stock of CK will be distributed to the 
stockholders of AIMCO.  If AIMCO is unable to list the CK stock on the NYSE 
or NASDAQ National Market, CK will remain a direct or indirect subsidiary of 
AIMCO and AIMCO will pay to the former stockholders of CK an amount 
necessary to compensate the former CK stockholders for the value of such 
stock on January 31, 1998.  Consummation of the transaction is subject to the 
approval of AIMCO's independent members of the board of directors.

       AIMCO is a real estate investment trust with headquarters in Denver, 
Colorado and 13 regional operating centers, which holds a geographically 
diversified portfolio of apartment communities, primarily serving the middle 
market.  As of December 31, 1997, AIMCO, through its subsidiaries, owned or 
controlled 39,839 units in 146 apartment communities and has an equity 
interest in 83,484 units in 516 apartment communities.  In addition, AIMCO 
managed 69,587 units in 374 apartment communities for third parties and 
affiliates, bringing the total owned and managed portfolio to 192,910 units
